Featured reviews
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Did you know
- TriviaProducer Frank Mancuso Jr. wanted the creatures to look slightly different from H.R. Giger's original concept. He did not contribute to the designs in this film and the creatures were redesigned by Rob Hinderstein.
- GoofsIn every movie, the Species alien has been able to detect defective genes just by touching a potential mate, including Sara. But at the end of this movie, Sara walks away with a sterile mate when she was seeking a fertile one to continue her species, and they are holding hands. She should have immediately detected his sterility. However, an earlier conversation between her and Dean hints at her choosing her human side over her alien side, and therefore choosing not to allow herself to cause the extinction of the human race.
