Alicia I love this movie so much
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Ryki Bloom Now, this is a movie where the horror factor becomes friendly. Species was a great start for a wonderful franchise. Species provided a horrific sexual sensation in the crowd. Species II followed the first movie's path but ended badly. But, still, it had the horror factor set in place. The Species Franchise could of been so much better if the 2nd installment was never created. Now, back to the juicy Species III. Species III again turned the franchise friendly and cutsie. No, not literally, but it doesn't provide the viewers with enough gore and sex scenes. The plot had holes the size of basketballs - everything was horrible. BUT... Considering that the franchise was ruined in Species II, Species III is my favorite thus far(I mean sequel, Species will remain the best and far-most perfect). It's a bit better than Species II and follows the crappy plot line(which, most sequels are suppose to) of the Franchise unlike Species IV.This franchise can be made better; after all, everyone wants to see Natasha naked again...so... why-not remake Species II and III? Haha, wouldn't everyone love that.
asim34522-1 I was slightly disappointed by this movie: it wasn't as violent, not as scary and no where near as much sex. All this movie has is slight violence, female nudity and just kissing. I haven't seen the ending and I don't intend to. The first Species movie was extremely strong in sexual content, so what the fuc* was this? Species is like almost xxx porn which I like but this? oh no this is nothing! I only saw one scene of violence, I got an erection in the scene where she was naked but in the 1st one I had an erection through out most of the movie. I don't like this movie, I mean the Species 1 movie had oral, anal and vaginal sex scenes, a blow-job scene, male rape scenes and a hotel sex scene. This had nothing. 4/10 is a good rating for this poor movie.
lost-in-limbo The first two films were big-budget, but increasingly fun and sexually lurid heatwave (well definitely the second entry) trash. The third outing is on a considerably lesser budget, and a straight-to-DVD production that for most part couldn't recapture the same spirit. Competent, but lacking. However the outgoing sci-fi splashed with action style that was formed in the first two has changed to a more laid-back atmospheric tale that draws closer attention to sci-fi / horror. The idea behind the premise starts off promising enough, to only become too familiar, drawn out and unsatisfying lame. What really brought it down though, was that it seemed to take itself a little bit too seriously with its thickly layered script. Hell this was talky, but wasn't as fun as it could've been. Sure it breaks out towards the latter end, but it's pretty cookie-cutter stuff that's not quite as exciting. Nudity is abundantly flowing, but thrills are little and without much bite, penetration and the rush. The premise is well organised with some neat twists, and gels well with the other films making it easy to follow. It's holds your interest with an old-school type of plot line, but it's to bad that it's mostly lifeless, and anticlimactic despite an attractive lure in Sunny Mabrey. In its favour the special effects that are used do stand up, and the icky make-up FX are finely executed. No CGI overload, but back to basics. The performances are fair. Natasha Henstridge shows up again, in nothing more than a cameo. Robin Dunne goes about things an almost blank manner, and Robert Knepper adds an edgy quality to his part. In the few scenes Amelia Cooke gets as a half-breed, she pretty much smokes up the screen in a generally enjoyable and outrageous performance. Brad Turner's direction is pedestrian, but capably staged. The look of the film shows its limitations. Sound effects come through, though the music score stayed in the background and the cinematography is typically bland.
rocky_lifter69 What happens when you take most of the sex and a good portion of nudity out of a Species movie and throw in a low budget and boring script? You get Species 3, which is appallingly boring when compared to the other movies. Number one had a great atmosphere and cast, number two had good special effects (and little else worth noting) and number three has.... um, hold on, I'll think of something.If you have read the plot synopsis for this movie, you have been badly misled. It claims that Sara is desperately seeking a mate while a military team closes in on her. Neither is true. The movie starts shortly after number 2, with Eve's body being transported somewhere so they can "use her dying DNA to make something else." Why they can't just make another one is beyond me but anyway. The truck driving her stops as an alien tongue bursts through the back wall of the truck and kills the passenger. The driver goes to investigate only to catch Eve waking up and giving birth in an unusual way. She doesn't even have time to see the baby before the little Patrick child in the back with her snaps her neck with his alien tongue. (Anyone else notice the cat that was in there at the end of 2 had vanished?) Anyway, the driver grabs the newborn creature and scurries away as troops arrive to see what happened to the truck. This driver somehow turns out to be a college professor (yes, I know, makes no sense) named Dr. Abbot. He starts to raise the young girl, whom he names Sara, while he teaches class at a local college. Shortly after, he is visited by a large, sickly looking person that turns out to be the halfbreed that was in the back of the truck. It is looking for Sara, as he and the rest of his kind are dying off due to weakened immune systems (Funny that these big bad aliens can't handle things like pollen). This halfbreed dies in his office, spilling it's guts all over. Abbot then enlists a brilliant student, Dean, to help him with his planned experiments involving the alien DNA. At the same time, Sara has gone into her cocoon and hatches out as a shapely adult. She is confronted by the university's dean while in her full glory, but rejects him as a mate (We later find out that her "superior DNA" doesn't match up with humans, so they will not produce offspring with her). He doesn't like this and she ends up killing him. Abbot and Dean return to find the empty cocoon and the dead dean and realize what happened. They get rid of the body and Abbot explains that he plans to use Sara's ovum (without her knowledge) and the DNA from the half breeds to create a perfect species (Why he wants to do this is never made clear). As Sara roams the college town, she senses another halfbreed that is seeking her out and almost mates with him before realizing that he is sick and dying. The next day, Abbot and Dean prepare to start experimenting on Sara when she is attacked by the halfbreed, who is desperate to mate before he dies. They manage to save Sara and kill him but not before he impales Abbot. After this, Dean returns to his dorm, where his roommate has an email from a very hot woman who is interested in cellular biology. The roommate responds to her request using information about the aliens he found in Dean's things. The woman turns out to be another halfbreed, Amelia. She arrives shortly after and seduces the roommate before taking him hostage. She and Sara then force him to make the new species so they will have mates. Dean and a government agent crash the party and the roommate escapes with the harvested alien ovum. They are chased down to a large nuclear facility that Dean worked at. Amelia and Sara chase Dean to the reactor as it warms up. He drops the eggs in there and Sara turn on Amelia, sacrificing herself to save Dean, who escapes. Three weeks later, Dean's roommate goes back to Abbot's house only to find Sara and a young boy. He races to the lab where Dean tells him that he was able to grab Sara at the last moment and had created the boy so she wouldn't be alone. Later, after the boy had matured, he and Sara leave, going into the woods to escape detection. Dean then assures his roommate that the guy is sterile and they will not have any little alien children. The final shot shows the number 1903 on a train bridge.The entire movie is just so drab. There isn't a ton of the violence, the aliens look to cheesy and they toned the sex and nudity WAY down. Sunny Mabrey is cold and emotionless as Sara but that is OK for the part. The rest of the characters are stereotypical and boring to the point that none merit any mention.Basically, see it if you're a die-hard for the series or really curious. Otherwise, pass on it.
