If you watched that movie and did not pick up on the satire, it's not the movies fault.Problem is, Verhoeven's Starship adaptation is a great example of Poe's Law--where an artist, filmmaker's attempts at mocking or satirizing major socio-economic, political issue seems more authentic, genuine in supporting these institutions then seriously mocking or criticizing them. In other words, he did a terrible job of making/creating satire.
