Ya I saw Starship Troopers, it was great. I'm noticing just how much scifi must have been inspired by Total Recall. Seems like the first Matrix is essentially a rip off of it, surprised I never really heard of it before.
Edit: also it's amazing how both movies somehow benefit from awful acting. Not sure why but it just works
I rewatched it a couple weeks ago and thought the same thing, there's even the 'red pill' lol. I haven't read it so idk how it compares to the movie, but it's based on a book by Philip K Dick who also wrote the books that Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and a bunch of other movies were based on.
I think the acting helps to elevate the campiness of the movies, I think if they were more serious movies they wouldn't be as good lol
if you haven't seen them already, the same director also did Starship Troopers (I think it's on Netflix) and Robocop (I don't think it's on Netflix)

Robocop is incredible. Haven't seen it in years tho.
