No moral dilemmas here. Just good guys, bad guys and a clear mission. Bugs bad. Bugs ugly. Soldiers good. Soldiers good looking. Kill bugs. Although the troops have fancy spaceships, they don't need any precision guided smart bombs, or laser-smaser phasers. Just bullets please and thank you. And the occasional grenade when all else fails.
I admire this movie because it takes a simple idea, fleshes it out just a little bit, and follows it through to the end without getting lost or bogged down. Imagine that! Just goes to show everyone that you don't have to have a brilliant concept, pretentious thoughts, well-developed characters or good dialog - heck, you don't hardly need any dialog at all. You just need to stay focused and keep things moving along at a good clip. Then, if special effects are to play a large role, use effects that live up to their star billing. You end up with a decent movie. Not a great movie, but one that is watchable and even enjoyable. End of lesson.
