Far to much like aliens. Does not live up to expectations. Just another "scientist has dropped the world in the s**t and we have to bail him out" type movie. Characters so wooden they could have come from crossroads.

"Species" is a sci-fi/horror tale in the tradition of B-movies that comes off as good fun. It's about an experiment that's gone terribly wrong when an alien in the form of a young woman escapes from a scientific laboratory. This alien wants to mate with a man so it can produce offspring and if that happens, the world is in deep big trouble! The scientist in charge of this experiment (Ben Kingsley) assembles a team of experts (an assassin, an anthropologist, a biologist, and an empath) to try and stop the alien before major hell breaks loose. Well directed and well cast, "Species" is an entertaining science fiction movie. It's gruesome to be sure, but very exciting.
I first saw this movie when it came out in 1995. I thought that it was well made with enough special effects,naction, passion and suspense to keep you glued to the screen. The special effects were awesome for the time and they were certainly pretty covincing! The cast was brilliant especially Ben Kingsley, who I think is an amazing actor. The rest of the cast are well chosen and the fact that they used an unknown actress in the part of Sil made the movie sttand out more. H.R. Gigers design for the alien/human hybrid is scary, but at the same time she is sexy and beautiful. Very intriguing. All in all I think that this movie as worth watching and having as a part of any decent collection.
Species, the original movie, was a very clever film. Humans had been trying to join alien and human DNA, but their experiment escapes. She has a natural desire to reproduce, and luckily it shows itself in the very pleasant form of Natasha Henstridge. As the team finally catch up with her, and try to kill her, she shows her true, less attractive form. Good story, acting, and special effects
