An above average film but a very high quality blu ray. Animated films have a high percentage of fantastic picture quality, this one is definitely a part of that percentage. The picture is top notch, and the sound is also pretty darn good. The best looking parts of this film has to be the action sequences. Nothing looks better than when the bugs are getting turned into Swish cheese. Now we get to the best part, the special features. I am going to start with the best bit, the seven part making of the movie, honestly this is great! It goes through everything from the influences from the novel and the past films, to the animation, the score, the motion capture acting (they actually used motion capture for an animated film, then adjusted the movements slightly to represent the battle armer), it is really extensive and very interesting to watch. You also find out a lot about the original movie, and why certain decision were made that took the story away from the source material of the novel (e.g. the power suits). The seven part feature is built up of interviews, filming footage and computer generated examples (like a sort of before and after of a certain part of the film). On top of that we have commentaries, a gag reel (which is quite funny, it shows some examples of when the actors messed up their lines when voicing over a scene) and a concept art gallery. Possibly the weakest part of the special features is the deleted scenes. There are two deleted scenes, and both of them aren't completed scenes (they were cut before the animation was finished).
It is a very good blu ray, I just feel like they could have put in a few more special features, once you get past the making of part of it, there isn't anything else that is really interesting, but it definitely perfect for any blu ray collection. I am going to give 'Starship Troopers: Invasion' a 9/10.
