I've seen it and my main problems are that it's very slow (slower than the book) and the Bugs themselves don't seem very insect like.

The Paul Verhoeven movie is one of the most ridiculously stupid movies I have ever seen.

Glup!….

Say what you want about the movie. The Arachnids were awesome! I enjoyed it for what it was. The book really wasn't much of a miniatures game.

Thanks.
