La mutante 3

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.

Yes I agree this movie was not genius, however from a person who does not tear movies apart to often I have to say it was a good movie. It does not have the flair of the original movie but in my opinion is a lot better than the second. I don't think the movie was intended to be a blockbuster, but more a film for people who enjoyed the first 2 movies. I didn't even see a trailer for this movie anywhere, didn't know it existed until I saw it in the video store for rental. I think it was made for more of like a cult following. Yes there are a lot of unanswered questions but who cares. The movie was fun, with a lot of action and a lot of gratuitous nudity for those that like it. I just wish Nastasha Henstridge had more of a role.

This movie can be divided in different parts. It's first halve Dr. Abbot's 'brilliant' research, while its second halve is more about Dean and its action and science-fiction elements. Not that either halve of the movie impresses much though. Besides, the fact that the two halves of the movie differ so much from each other and don't quite connect well enough, don't make the movie any better.

It's the second sequel in the Species-series and even though they have learned from their mistakes from the previous Species sequel, it still isn't a better movie. The alien is a female again and the movie features less of Natasha Henstridge, who added very little to the previous sequel. On the other hand it's lacking the characters and certainly the fine actors of the previous 2 Species movies.

The acting is really one of the biggest problems of this movie. It's simply below par and besides most actors seem to be miscast in their roles. Sunny Mabrey is a boring alien, who certainly isn't being seductive enough, even though that's basically the only point of her entire character.

Its story is also quite poor. It's a quite ridicules one that makes less and less sense, the more you start to think about it. I mean why would a doctor/school teacher put himself in so much danger by abducting an alien from the military, just so he can do his own private research on her, in order to be able to breed a new super-race that's immune of all deceases. He also drags in one of his students. Sounds like a real wacko but his character is yet a serious one. And we are supposed to care for this character? All other characters are not much better or more interesting really.

The movie as a whole is not just that interesting to watch, since it's very little special, that adds nothing new to the genre or the Species movie-series. There even is a part four. Really makes you wonder why though.

The movie is not bad looking and it doesn't feature some good effects and stuff like that but it's nothing that we haven't already seen before in any of the other previous Species movies. It makes the movie in that regard also not very special to watch.

Just skip it.

I have watched the first three one night in a row and it seems like this one the scriptwriters were seriously smoking something potent when they wrote the script to this.

You could argue it has somewhat logic to it all, and with the way the characters act, but the logic is like the sort of logic only the craziest bond villain would possibly have, or just Dr Evil logic.

For example the first moment of the movie has a college professor pretending to be an army officer just so he can steal the last surviving alien to take home to make a master pure alien race so he can win a Nobel prize? (I guess that said professor did not know that Nobel made the prize after inventing nitroglycerin, realising it was actually dangerous to mankind so created the Nobel prize specifically to reward scientists for making things that are good and a benefit for humankind) So how he thinks creating a pure race of alien that simply wants to destroy all human kind would win him this prize is way beyond me to understand?.

Now to get back above, why the army would also allow something so highly top secret and risky to be put in charge of and transported back to the base in the hands of someone who nobody didn't even know is beyond all rational logic to me too.

The only good thing about the movie in my opinion was the incredibly hot alien that comes out of nowhere in the final act just to be the final fight villain which obviously a film like this needed and clearly the filmmakers felt could not have been Sara as she was a very likable character so tacked on this other vicious Alien hot girl for solely that role.

Which by the way she came into the film by posting on the internet in the personals ads asking if anyone out there knows and can explain to her what alien DNA is, which our hero's roommate steals the info from his journal just so he can potentially get in on with the hot girl which surprisingly turns out to be a bad idea, you can tell I am not making this up as I doubt anyone could make this up bar the one writer of this movie.

Overall I felt it was an okay watch, the main alien girl was not a patch on Natasha Henstridge, but the incredibleness of the villain sort of made up for this. She should have been Sara though in my opinion as she was a better actor, had more edge to her and also was, in my opinion, much more attractive.

I will be watching 4 tomorrow.

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.
