I just was watching the film and i think they ripped off the same type of future that starship troopers has. Thats what i think and is my opinon. During the movie i thought it was starship troopers 2 because i never saw it but then looked at the guide and it said imposter. Through the whole movie i was waiting for a bug to kill someone, lol.

Um, Starship Troopers was written by Robert Heinlein, not Phil Dick.

"Imposter" wasn't a book, it was a short story.

yeah, in the prologue they show some footage from a city that have been destroyed - which is actually the footage from the destruction of buenos saires from starship troopers

For a great movie, it kills me everytime I see those Starship Trooper shots. It's not copyright infringment if the shots on screen for less than 3 seconds is it?

not sure what you mean by on stetic.... I thought the visual look of the city was quite a bit like Starship Troopers but it didn't have anything whatsoever like the satiric tone that "Trooopers" had towards the future. I think "Troopers" is a better movie actually, but I enjoyed "Impostor" more than I thought I would considering it disappeared from the theaters in about 5 seconds.

p.s. reading through the thread I see that apparently the film reused visual elements from "Troopers." Very intersting, I actually suspected that when I was watching it. Well, you know, "Blade Runner" used shots that were made for "The Shining" so maybe it's fitting!

Did I not love him, Cooch? MY OWN FLESH I DIDN'T LOVE BETTER!!! But he had to say 'Nooooooooo'
