Product Description
More computer-generated adventures with Rico and his Roughnecks. When intelligence reports suggest that the bugs might be planning to attack San Francisco, the Roughnecks begin preparing to enter into combat on their own planet. Will they be able to repel the insect threat and also avoid hurting any civilians in the crossfire?
From .co.uk
Inspired by Robert Heinlein's pulp classic and executive-produced by Paul Verhoeven, who made the big-screen version, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is cutting-edge TV animation that's more for grown-ups than kids. The neat equipment, combat suits and weapons are as deadly as they are cool, and even though the extreme gore and violence of the movie has been toned down, the endless threat from all manner of nasty bugs is still pretty terrifying. Five roughly 20-minute episodes are spliced together into a movie-length feature, which makes for a satisfyingly lengthy story arc instead of the more usual self-contained individual episodes. Like all good war stories, at its heart Roughnecks celebrates that Band of Brothers-style bonding in extreme circumstances, which we viewers can only experience vicariously. --Mark Walker

From the Back Cover
The Emmy-nominated Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is the acclaimed sci-fi adventure series featuring breathtaking computer-generated visuals, heroic character-driven drama and non-stop combat action. The Homefront Campaign brings the Troopers back to a familiar yet newly bug-infested planet: Earth. Tough-as-nails war veteran Rico, telepathic Carl, fearless female soldier Flores and their special squad must face an impossibly difficult assignment to capture and kill scores of enormous bugs without harming San Francisco civilians. But in the midst of their complicated mission, the Troopers suffer a shocking loss that threatens to tear their team apart. Could this be the TroopersÂ’ last stand and the final hope for humanity?

I wish they had finished the series
This is the end of the Roughnecks series. Unfortunately the last episodes never got made, so it kind of ends in the middle.Even more unfortunately, this series of DVDs is pretty screwed up. Not only has it been released out of order, but there's an episode missing between "vol 5" and this "vol 6". I suppose that this was done to make this a 5 episode story arc like the rest of the DVDs (or, more correctly, make Vol 5 a 5 episode arc, since the missing episode fits better there), but it's a stupid decision, IMO. (As is calling these volumes 5 and 6, instead of 6 and 7, and not releasing the story arc before them. I have no idea what the people who made this series were smoking, but it must have been really strong stuff.)Haven't seen the extras yet (two commentaries).

Roughnecks Continued....
If you arre a fan of SCI-Fi and enjoyed the film Starship Troopers thhen this CGI computer graphic version will really please you. The graphics are very good and the stories are all on the same Human v Bug theme. My son lover starship Troopers and certainly enjoyed this follow up series. The stories continue on with some of the original movie chatracters such as Rico but some of thhe stories themselves are new. Goof fun and worth a watch.
