I try to read the comments on IMDb before we watch particular rental movies. Most of what I read on this one hit the mark. My husband fondly (?) remembers Dina Meyer (Dr. Sheila Casper) as a nude redhead in Starship Troopers. He said she was better looking than Denise Richards. She reminded me of a young Erika Eliniak, but in a more natural, non-enhanced sense if you know what I mean. Looking at her biography on IMDb.Com, she is indeed very talented and very smart. Lou Diamond Phillips and Bob Gunton brought a sense of dignity to the mostly improbable script. Also, Lou looked believable in his sheriff outfit. The whole thing reminded me a lot of The Birds, but not as scary. Also, in reply to another posting from SAMLCITR, I never did see the air conditioning unit being shut off after the blasts. Seeing this movie reminded me of a section in Candace Bergen's autobiography. She was on location for "Bite The Bullet" and was horrified at the (in her opinion) lousy script. She was complaining about it loud and long it to everyone in earshot. Gene Hackman turned to her and said, "you take a bad script and you work with it. That's what acting is about." (or something to that effect).
