An alien vixen comes to Earth to destroy humanity in this thriller, only it?s campy and a little silly at times.
-
MCT:June 21, 2008I've wanted to watch this for a while, ever since I heard the monster in it, Sil (played by Henstridge) was created by HR Giger, who created the Alien. I thought the makers of the film did a good job of it, especially Henstridge herself. Her character isn't just a monster out to procreate: she starts out as a lost soul trapped in a big, new, and unfamiliar world. And in the first 15 minutes you're bound to feel sorry for her as she adjusts to the world around her. Apart from one or two bits of poor CGI, Species is a good film to watch when you get the chance

Umm... bad. Very cliched, predictable and not so shocking and apocalyptic as it should have been.

Pretty good story but the movie feels like it's to long. The ending is like one of the longest ends in moviehistory!
-
MCT:May 12, 2008hans reudi giger shows off another creation "sil".. this movie asks the question "which dna is the predator"?

MCT:April 21, 2008KJ was scrounging around for something to watch last night and this was one of the freebies that came with the purchase of our Blu-Ray player. Oh my gosh...this is so bad. I guess with Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, etc. making up the cast and decent special effects for the time, the budget must've been stretched beyond what would've been needed to hire some decent writers. Shame too, being that the creature is the product of the same mind that brought us The Alien.

Great cast, silly story, poorly written dialogue, but it was a fun movie to watch. Wonder what I would have thought had I watched it back in 1995? Probably about the same...
-

A nice sci-fi movie!!!
the effects is pretty good...
and Natasha Henstridge made a great job to play the role...
it reminds me about Robert Patrick in Terminator2!!! -

An alien loose on earth? The only thing good about this film is the fact that it was made years before the pathetic copycat movies of a similar nature.
-
MCT:March 24, 2008
the aliens in "species" were designed by h.r. giger, the artist who did the aliens in "alien" (with sigourney weaver) and the microphone stand for the band "korn."
-

Cheesy dialog really hurt this movie. It has an interesting premise. but it needed to check itself along the way.
-
MCT:March 20, 2008
A rather mediocre sci-fi movie that uses H.R. Giger's design and a plot that is ho-hum . Still, Natasha Henstridge is the star of the movie that make this film spawn 3 other sequels.
-
MCT:March 15, 2008Saw the last half on TV the other day and I am still most definitely not interested to ever see the whole thing nor any of the sequels. Far too creepy and gory for my taste.
-

Natasha Henstridge is wonderful in the role of a female alien on the loose. This is an entertaining, fast paced sci-fi thriller.
-
MCT:February 21, 2008
With this movie My main complaint is the story completely falls apart at the end. The ending is predictable. Also see the creature more clearly, but less would be better considering the unrealistic CGI effects.
-
MCT:January 14, 2008This movie has a nice blend of intrigue and action. An interesting science fiction premise; aliens send radio message in response to our radio signals being sent out into space. This alien message details how to combine human DNA with Alien DNA. A Top Secret government project ensues and follows the direction to create "Sil" (half human/ half alien). Orders come from above to terminate the creature, but Sil escapes as her abilities were drastically underestimated. The rest of the movie follows a special unit as they attempt to track the rogue creature, and it attempts to situate itself in modern Los Angeles.
Natasha Henstridge is excellent as the awkward but vicious creature "Sil". It was interesting to watch her character learn by observation the habits and practices of humans. Generally competent performances all around. Michael Madsen plays the badass character quite well again. Forest Whittaker is also good as the psychic.
Good directing, interesting art direction, and decent characterization provide an intriguing story line. The action sequences are pretty solid and engaging. It might be a little too violent and gory for most people, but I happen to enjoy these elements in a horror flick. Several scenes of Natasha's beautiful nude body, but it fits into the story (Sil wants to complete her life cycle by having a baby, so sex scenes are inevitable).
The creature design itself is excellent. A CGI creature designed by the immortal H.R. Giger,
My main complaint is the story completely falls apart at the end. The ending is predictable (not to mention a complete rip-off straight from "Alien" with the metal grate walkways and the creature lurking above). We see the creature more clearly, but less would be better considering the unrealistic CGI effects.
To sum up, this movie could have been great if only it had a better ending. As it stands, it still remains a intriguing and action-packed Sci-Fi adventure up until the last couple of minutes when it all falls apart. Fans of the Sci-Fi/Horror genre (as I am) will probably like this film very much despite its flaws. Recommended -

A B-movie up-all-night version of Aliens. It really sucks ass! At the same time, it is strangely and compulsively watchable thanks to Natasha Henstridge's hot naked body, which gets generous amounts of screen time!

Decent enough for what it is. There's a plethora of much better films out there, but on the same token, the so many more that are far worse.
-
MCT:December 24, 2007Sucks ass.. I hate it. The movie is about a alien species that are trying to conquer earth through fucking.

A message from outer space contains instructions on how to modify human DNA. Then it is mixed with human DNA and a monster in beautiful human female form is born that wants to mate and causes havoc and destruction in all in its' path. Interesting and riveting. Starring Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, Michellle Williams and Natasha Hendridge as the amazing SIF.

I remember I watched this when I was younger...I didn't like alien-related movies back then. Thus, I do not recall liking this movie much.

MCT:November 26, 2007
When I was a kid this movie scared the shit out of me, although I'd watch so many violent and horror movies like Terminator 2 at age 6. But seeing this again, I realise its actually pretty lame. The only interesting part about it is the stunning Natasha Henstridge. I'd die happily if I got to fertilize that mutant. ^^
