A Experiência III

All typical sci-fi B-movie elements make enough appearances in this third installment of 'Species'. It's got lots of creepy alien gore, gorgeous chicks who kick male ass, abundant nudity and the twitch of alien-human sexual tension. I risk to say that the story is actually better than the crap of Species II... interesting enough to keep the viewer in his seat till the end.

Otherwise as usual, acting is horrible, script likewise. They used some old footage of Natasha Henstridge as well. But the role of Sara could go to a more physically attractive actress than Sunny Mabrey... though it is my personal opinion.

'Species 3' is a low budget continuation of the 'Species' series, and is not that bad for its category. The story of inter-galactic breeding continues here, some DNA mumble-jumble is being added, and science-fiction fans find here some of their preferred stuff although this is not really best in breed. The real appeal of the series is in the inter-species lover-predator games which provide the pretext for a handsome quantity of nudity on screen, and from this point of view series 3 equals its predecessors. What is lost is the surprise effect of the first film, and the money to make better effects. The director is experienced in TV series and he does what he knows best here. However, what works on the small screen is not enough on the big screen. You cannot leave on big screen, even in a series characters development for the many other tens or hundreds of episodes. Acting is also TV quality. The plot has some logics, embarrassing moments are avoided, but overall it looks like this movie is just a last tentative to squeeze some money from the dying 'Species' brand. 4 out of 10 on my personal scale.

This picture results to be the third outing to ¨Species¨ trilogy that began with a friendly galactic message packing a recipe on how to combine extraterrestrial DNA with human is sent to genetic scientifics on Earth. As scientists undergoing the weird experiment resulting in a sexy half alien, half human , she is called Sil . But Sil is a killing machine who escapes from the investigation laboratory while an expert team to find her . Having created the thing , they have only themselves to blame . As the alien Sil (Natasha Hensridge) disguised as a human is pursued desperately by the colleague scientists , while the monster has to hunt down especially nubile male prey to procreate her alien race . As she seduces young people into mating to produce a baby to expand her descendants on Earth . As her species decays succumbing to infections and illnesses , an alien seductress (Sunny Mabrey) immunologically stronger becomes the only hope for them to live on . Later on , she is growing up, reaching adulthood and becoming a beauty young girl called Sara . Then Dr. Abbot (Rob Knepper) kidnaps Sara , and invites the good student Dean (Robin Dunne) to be his helper . Genetic perfection is no longer a dream . It's a nightmare . Beauty is only skin deep . This December, the mating game turns deadly .If you build it , they will come . For three million years, the human race has been at the top of the evolutionary ladder . Nothing lasts forever . Men cannot resist her. Mankind may not survive her. Two decades ago scientists sent a message to space...This... is the reply. Our time is up.

So-so Sci-fi movie with noisy action , stomach-churning thrills , chills, tension , intrigue , violence , state-of-art FX , strong sexual scenes , nudism and lots of gore and guts . It is a nice but ordinary thriller with no much sense , but it results to be pretty entertaining and amusing , following in the distinct wake of the Science Fiction movies of the Fifties . The usual secondary actor Rob Knepper gives a passable acting as the ambitious scientific who expects to develop a perfect DNA using alien's eggs and that's why he wants to win the Nobel Prize and other prizes , while Robin Dunne is acceptable as the young student who becomes involved in the experiment and share his research , along with the extremely gorgeous Sunny Mabrey in his film debut . Trio starring are well accompanied by passable support cast with some familar faces , such as : Amelia Cooke who gives some spicy bare scenes , Michael Warren , Bethune , Joel Stoffer , Cristopher Neame and brief appearance by Natasha Henstridge . Decent special effects but inferior than previous entry made by great technicians as Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund and based on the famous creature created by artist-designer H.R. Giger , all of them making fantastic and strange monsters .

It contains a mysterious and thrilling musical score by Elia Cmiral, a good musician expert on terror and dark atmosphere . As well as colorful but functional cinematography by Christian Sebaldt . This direct to video film was regularly directed by Brad Turner .This filmmaker is a fine craftsman usually working for Television , directing episodes from known TV series, such as : MacGyver, Next , Homeland , 24 , Hawai 5.0 , Take two , Shannara , Bull , Conviction , Marvel Shield Agents , Wayward Pines , Second chances , Falling Skies , Dare Devil , Legend, The last ship , Stalker , Invisibles , Psych , Bitten , Nikita , among others.

The trilogy is formed by Species I followed by two inferior sequels : the first entry , ¨Species¨ 1995 , by Roger Donaldson with Michael Madsen, Forest Whitaker , Alfred Molina, Michelle Williams , Ben Kinsley ,Marg Helgenberger , concerning a group of scientific carry out an unenviable and relentless task of catching Sil . ¨Species 2¨ with Justin Lazard, George Dzunza, Marg Helgenberg , James Cromwell, in which scientists create a clone from the monster of the original film. And this ¨Species III¨, 2001 by Brad Turner with Robin Dunne, Robert Knepper and the gorgeous Sunny Mabrey.

Reminiscent of 50's sci-fi in that whomever wrote the script obviously drinks a lot, the acting doesn't always fit the scene being viewed, and there's a tendency to go right to T&A to keep you from noticing, which is fine by me but I noticed anyway. The movie has a pretty good visual look to it and the direction is adequate. However, the ending is nothing more than giving up for lack of anything better to do. As in, "I don't know what to do here so somebody better start walking off into the sunset." If what you wanted was to sit down and watch something that almost qualifies as science fiction and doesn't suck too badly, then you won't be disappointed.

This movie takes up where "Species II" left off with the dead body of "Eve" (Natasha Henstridge) being taken in an ambulance after she was killed fighting the astronaut named "Patrick Ross" (Justin Lazard). Also in the ambulance is one of the offspring of Patrick Ross who managed to sneak in right before it drove off. What nobody realizes is that during their brief mating Eve became pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl which is a more genetically pure alien creature than any of the other aliens ever created. This includes Eve, Patrick and several of the other "half-breeds" conceived from Patrick and various human females. Not only that, but one of the ambulance drivers is not what he seems either. Instead he happens to be a college professor by the name of "Dr. Abbot" (Robert Knepper) who specializes in genetics and desperately wants the opportunity to breed even more alien creatures. Since he cannot do everything by himself he recruits a young, college graduate student named "Dean" (Robert Dunne) to help him. Unfortunately, what neither Dr. Abbot nor Dean realize is that the half-breeds aren't adapting very well to their new earthly environment and need the assistance of Dr. Abbot or the opportunity to mate with Eve's offspring now known simply as "Sara" (Sunny Mabrey). At any rate, rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that, besides lacking the obvious novelty of the first two films, it also didn't quite have the same action or intensity and as a result wasn't quite as good. However, it still wasn't too bad in my opinion and having two beautiful actresses like Amelia Cook (as the female creature named "Amelia") along with the aforementioned Sunny Mabrey certainly didn't hurt this movie in any way. Again though, this movie simply wasn't as good as the first two and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
