I agree. It was like The Cube, but with Aliens and a Predator.

I really LOVED The Cube. I thought it was a pretty clever and interesting little sci-fi film. The sequel to The Cube (What was it called ? Hypercube or some nonsense) totally didn't make ANY sense and completey was a piece of crap that had NOT continuity with the original. It was as if the people who made the sequel just read the description of the first movie without watching it and made a sequel.
Starship Troopers is my biggest example of this. Take a FANTASTIC and CLASSIC science fiction book from Rober Heinlen, a MASTER of science fiction and a damn good writer. Just read the description on the back of the book without even cracking the book open... and you end up with a movie that ISN"T EVEN THE SAME DAMN STORY THAT'S IN THE BOOK !!!! And one of the characters sex is totally different in the movie than in the book... all because they NEEDED that naked shower scene and the love angle for the end when the true love woman (WHO WAS A MAN AND CERTAINLY NOT A LOVE INTEREST) died in the end. They also totally eliminated 99% of the story from the book. They did away with the battle armor and made these guys just wear reused props from the Aliens movie. They totally got rid of the race they SHOULD have been fighting called "The Skinnies". I can't go on enough about how Starship Troopers pissed me off when I saw it. They took one of my favorite CLASSIC science fiction novels and turned it into "The OC with an army !"
