Michael Ironside looking serious in sci-fi armor in Starship Troopers

The '90s saw the release of a number of sci-fi films, some of which are now considered true classics of the genre. The Matrix , which caps off the decade, remains one of the most seminal science-fiction movies ever made, but it was preceded by a number of other important titles. James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day starts the decade off strong in 1991, and its groundbreaking effects helped to cement it as one of the most acclaimed sequels of all time.

Now we’re talking in the future, and ironically, the military has the space force now. I used to use this way to explain to drill sergeant candidates when I was running the Drill Sergeant Academy that basic training, or boot camp, is pretty much going to stay the same from the past into the future. The training that we did for the Revolutionary War using muskets in 1776 was the same training that we did in 1966 sending people to Vietnam with the M16 rifle is the same training we’ll do in 2036.

I would have to give it a five . I don’t know if we’re going to be in this space, literally and figuratively, in the future, but I would say again, what we train over time but how we’re able to do that is actually the thing that evolves.
