I was quite surprised by this. Although I thought the Star Trek footage would have been pulled from some out of nowhere episode (too much to ask for obviously), the pacing works great for this one. The only things that nagged me is in comparison with the 40 year Star Trek clips, the Starship Troopers clips were far too clean, maybe aging the clips would’ve added to the authenticity. Also the extensive bug scene reuse was glaring, maybe sampling from all 3 Starship Trooper films would remedy this issue. (though the SFX in the 2 sequels are terrible in comparison, which might work better with ST:TOS – oh well).
EXTRAS SPOILERS BELOW!!
But seriously what was up with the extras? I was completely baffled by the Space Nazis clip
END SPOILERS ABOVE!!
