This was one of the first movies to do the "react and we'll add the thing you're reacting to in post" thing to its actors, and the fact that Verhoeven got decent performances out of them despite that is a testament to his understanding of film. Compare to the Star Wars prequels, which have a lot of scenes where the real actors don't react at all to something digital happening in the same scene.
My favorite part is the General Grievous Lightsaber Helicopter scene where he's throwing bits of superheated slag in Obi-wans eyes but Ewan McGregor has absolutely no idea and his body does not react in any way, he just stands there blankly
