This movie and Robocop have convinced me that Verhoeven is an insane time-travelling prankster. For folks that think the satire is over-the-top, keep in mind that this movie was released several years before 9/11 and managed to perfectly satirize post-9/11 jingoism perfectly. There's a moment early on where a scientist is on their news show and brings up the very reasonable point that maybe the bugs weren't attacking humans and were just reacting to humans pushing into their territory and he's immediately cut off and it's back to RAH RAH JOIN TODAY! Even the first act, which is the weakest part, is still a little more enjoyable once you realize the entire thing is supposed to be a space fascist propaganda film. 4/5, when I voted the messaged said "Thank you, citizen."
