Plot: Fine special effects, eclectic casting, and the freeze-frame-worthy, clothing-free debut of a blonde bombshell made this cheesy science fiction/horror hybrid a cut above its B-grade roots. At a top-secret Utah facility headed up by Dr. Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley), scientists have created Sil (Natasha Henstridge), a half-human, half-alien product of experiments with DNA codes obtained from beyond the stars. Unfortunately, Sil has escaped. Her primary objective is to mate, and, with the ability to transform herself into an incredibly powerful alien creature, puny humans can't stop her. So Dr. Fitch calls in a quartet of specialists (Forest Whitaker, Michael Madsen, Marg Helgenberger, and Alfred Molina), to attempt Sil's capture. At the same time, Sil is leaving a trail of mostly male corpses in her hormonal wake. The organic-flavored alien designs for Species were provided by H.R. Giger, the artist responsible for the memorable creatures and spaceships of Alien (1979). When MGM decided to cut the spectacular train birth sequence in the interest of budget-trimming, Giger personally financed this $100,000 showcase of his work. Those who look closely will notice that Young Sil is played by future Dawson's Creek star Michelle Williams. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

What's A Killer Female Alien Movie Without Nudity?

Species is an enjoyable low budget alien movie starring Michael Madsen. Althought the special effects are pretty good, there is a ton of nudity. ABout every other ten minutes it's more bare breasts or bottoms. It probably has the most of all four. Species is for the sci-fi geeks out there (like me), but is not really a Oscar winning motion picture. Even with it's first rate cast.

Great movie if you're looking for senseless sci-fi action, and not too interested in getting to know the characters. The quality of the DVD was great - picture sharp, sound was outstanding. Should also be advised there was a lot of above the waist nudity, but seeing as how the plot was based on a hybrid alien/human that escapes execution in a lab, then follows her motherly instincts to reproduce, well.... you kind of have an idea going into the movie what it's all about.

HORRIBLE

What a horrible, horrible movie. Shows like a terrible, low budget, "made for TV" movie. Bad acting, bad script, ridiculous special effects... this is one crummy movie. Sorry I wasted precious minutes of my life watching this garbage.
