After creating a bio-engineered woman from alien DNA gathered from previous generations, one of her creators sets out to protect her from another genetically-created mutation intent on using her to create a purer race of creatures.A not-all-that-bad sci-fi entry that wisely decides to turn into a T&A fest to hide the fact that all it's real good parts are stuffed into the ending. Since the film spends a large amount of time dealing with the biology of the girl and what they can do to make it viable in further tests, with only the occasional interaction otherwise shoehorned into the film to keep us from getting bored, it does give off it's hand that there's not a whole lot going on here during these parts save for the nudity. When it introduces it's other main threat in the other alien, it gets a lot more interesting due to a lot more action elements being brought in, which makes for some good times to be had when it relies on it's stalking, chasing and brawling with the two creatures, oftentimes in full alien garb so it looks even more impressive. Otherwise, this one was just a decent-enough entry.Rated UR/R: Continuous Full Nudity, Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, several Sex Scenes and an alien Rape Scene

A college professor somehow convinces military personnel that he's one of them, so he can rescue Eve's offspring(how did he find out about it in the first place? You're not bothering to answer that either? *sigh*... OK). He intends to win the Nobel prize by cultivating a perfect, physically attractive killer alien(ow, my head hurts just from typing that out). Oh, and he wants it to be resistant to *all* vira and the like. *Somebody* didn't take basic Biology in high school(or didn't pass). Anyway, he needs a student for this, mostly because that is apparently the same as a scientist, and he deems it smart to choose the one that made a smart-ass comment to him in class, clear negative towards the goal that he has in mind. I'm really not making this up. The plot is the focus here, and if it wasn't dumb, predictable or a partial retread of the original(yet without the tension... whose idea was it to make the main extraterrestrial so non-threatening?), maybe that would work. There are elements to it that don't suck(like the Half-Breed concept, arguably). They simply usually aren't utilized. This follows up on the sequel-baiting ending of II, and there is a bit of continuity with what came before this(then again, other things are kinda thrown out the window). The cast are younger and so is the appeal, and unfortunately, that means lesser performances(at least than those of Species). This is very much a direct-to-video release. Everything is TV quality. There is not enough character development(if we do care for Sara, somewhat, as we see her grow up). This has a lower budget than the predecessors, and while they definitely tried to hide that, they weren't entirely successful. The FX aren't bad. This has less nudity and sex(with that said, one of these sequences is fantastic) than the earlier two. We do get hot chicks. At the half-way point, this changes drastically, and though we thus get 2 halves of film(that don't fit together), neither are that compelling. There is a little strong language and moderately graphic bloody violence in this. The DVD comes with an interesting and fun commentary track by the male lead, the writer and the director, a pretty good featurette(with big spoilers) in four chapters, totaling at 33 minutes(going over what's new to the franchise in this, the choice of actors, the effects and the designs(those are decent)) and a nice, large photo gallery. I recommend this only to those who are in love with this series. 3/10

Now, this is a movie where the horror factor becomes friendly. Species was a great start for a wonderful franchise. Species provided a horrific sexual sensation in the crowd. Species II followed the first movie's path but ended badly. But, still, it had the horror factor set in place. The Species Franchise could of been so much better if the 2nd installment was never created. Now, back to the juicy Species III. Species III again turned the franchise friendly and cutsie. No, not literally, but it doesn't provide the viewers with enough gore and sex scenes. The plot had holes the size of basketballs - everything was horrible. BUT... Considering that the franchise was ruined in Species II, Species III is my favorite thus far(I mean sequel, Species will remain the best and far-most perfect). It's a bit better than Species II and follows the crappy plot line(which, most sequels are suppose to) of the Franchise unlike Species IV.This franchise can be made better; after all, everyone wants to see Natasha naked again...so... why-not remake Species II and III? Haha, wouldn't everyone love that.

What happens when you take most of the sex and a good portion of nudity out of a Species movie and throw in a low budget and boring script? You get Species 3, which is appallingly boring when compared to the other movies. Number one had a great atmosphere and cast, number two had good special effects (and little else worth noting) and number three has.... um, hold on, I'll think of something.If you have read the plot synopsis for this movie, you have been badly misled. It claims that Sara is desperately seeking a mate while a military team closes in on her. Neither is true. The movie starts shortly after number 2, with Eve's body being transported somewhere so they can "use her dying DNA to make something else." Why they can't just make another one is beyond me but anyway. The truck driving her stops as an alien tongue bursts through the back wall of the truck and kills the passenger. The driver goes to investigate only to catch Eve waking up and giving birth in an unusual way. She doesn't even have time to see the baby before the little Patrick child in the back with her snaps her neck with his alien tongue. (Anyone else notice the cat that was in there at the end of 2 had vanished?) Anyway, the driver grabs the newborn creature and scurries away as troops arrive to see what happened to the truck. This driver somehow turns out to be a college professor (yes, I know, makes no sense) named Dr. Abbot. He starts to raise the young girl, whom he names Sara, while he teaches class at a local college. Shortly after, he is visited by a large, sickly looking person that turns out to be the halfbreed that was in the back of the truck. It is looking for Sara, as he and the rest of his kind are dying off due to weakened immune systems (Funny that these big bad aliens can't handle things like pollen). This halfbreed dies in his office, spilling it's guts all over. Abbot then enlists a brilliant student, Dean, to help him with his planned experiments involving the alien DNA. At the same time, Sara has gone into her cocoon and hatches out as a shapely adult. She is confronted by the university's dean while in her full glory, but rejects him as a mate (We later find out that her "superior DNA" doesn't match up with humans, so they will not produce offspring with her). He doesn't like this and she ends up killing him. Abbot and Dean return to find the empty cocoon and the dead dean and realize what happened. They get rid of the body and Abbot explains that he plans to use Sara's ovum (without her knowledge) and the DNA from the half breeds to create a perfect species (Why he wants to do this is never made clear). As Sara roams the college town, she senses another halfbreed that is seeking her out and almost mates with him before realizing that he is sick and dying. The next day, Abbot and Dean prepare to start experimenting on Sara when she is attacked by the halfbreed, who is desperate to mate before he dies. They manage to save Sara and kill him but not before he impales Abbot. After this, Dean returns to his dorm, where his roommate has an email from a very hot woman who is interested in cellular biology. The roommate responds to her request using information about the aliens he found in Dean's things. The woman turns out to be another halfbreed, Amelia. She arrives shortly after and seduces the roommate before taking him hostage. She and Sara then force him to make the new species so they will have mates. Dean and a government agent crash the party and the roommate escapes with the harvested alien ovum. They are chased down to a large nuclear facility that Dean worked at. Amelia and Sara chase Dean to the reactor as it warms up. He drops the eggs in there and Sara turn on Amelia, sacrificing herself to save Dean, who escapes. Three weeks later, Dean's roommate goes back to Abbot's house only to find Sara and a young boy. He races to the lab where Dean tells him that he was able to grab Sara at the last moment and had created the boy so she wouldn't be alone. Later, after the boy had matured, he and Sara leave, going into the woods to escape detection. Dean then assures his roommate that the guy is sterile and they will not have any little alien children. The final shot shows the number 1903 on a train bridge.The entire movie is just so drab. There isn't a ton of the violence, the aliens look to cheesy and they toned the sex and nudity WAY down. Sunny Mabrey is cold and emotionless as Sara but that is OK for the part. The rest of the characters are stereotypical and boring to the point that none merit any mention.Basically, see it if you're a die-hard for the series or really curious. Otherwise, pass on it.
