Movie Reviews of Species [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: excellent sci fi with some gore.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would ignore the one star reviews on this one.
This was not a B movie at the time it was released, in fact it was a A movie that did quite well and provided some good chills. It does have a few scenes that are gory and upset some of the non horror fans out there. Those type of people don't like to mix horror and sci fi , too bad for them. The blu ray print is clearer than the dvd's for certain. this wasn't shot on the best film stock like todays films so you can't expect to look like todays movies on blu ray. One reviewer who is oblivious to film stock didn't know this. I would say that they should have put species two on here too. In fact if they do release species two on blu, I would hope the others on are on it too. This was a great intro flick for the talented lead actress here as well. So if you are a horror and sci fi fan this one should wet your appetite, however this isn't for younger kids in the least. There is nudity and some real gory violence in this movie so it's not wise to put your preteens in front of this one.
Summary of Species [Blu-ray]
When a beautiful human-alien hybrid (Natasha Henstridge) escapes from observation, scientist XavierFitch (Ben Kingsley) dispatches a crew of experts to find her before she is able to fulfill her horrific purpose: to mate with unsuspecting men and produce offspring that could destroy mankind. As her deadly biological clock ticks rapidly, Fitch and his team are hurled into a desperate battle in which the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance!There's a kind of perverse marketing genius at work in this cheesy sci-fi hit from 1995 in which scientists create a half-human, half-alien woman named Sil (Natasha Henstridge) who's capable of morphing from a slimy, tentacled creature into a blond babe with the body of a Playboy centerfold. This makes it easy for Sil to lure gullible guys who are only too willing to indulge her voracious mating urge, realizing too late that sex with Sil is anything but safe. As the body count rises, a handpicked team of specialists tracks the alien's killing spree, but their diverse expertise is barely a match for the ever-morphing Sil. Borrowing elements of the Alien movies (including bizarre alien designs by Swiss artist H.R. Giger) and spicing them up with some tantalizing nudity, Species is a wet dream for creature-feature fans--kind of like watching a sci-fi vampire fantasy while browsing through the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. --Jeff Shannon
