Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Please don't spend money on this.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Somehow, somewhere, somebody must have thought there was still money to be made out of the SPECIES franchise, which is why this second sequel to the first film appeared. All these films have been B-movies and SPECIES III is no different, but what is perhaps most surprising is that this one manages to be just as entertaining as the first film – even though it's clearly been made on a much lower budget and without any famous faces.After a stalled opening sequence, boasting a Natasha Henstridge cameo and some unconvincing FX work, we're introduced to our two leads, a college professor and his bright student. The professor is played by Robert Knepper, no stranger to B-movies, and he does a pretty good job playing the usual dedicated-to-the-point-of-being-obsessed scientist role. Better still is Robin Dunne as the college kid lead; Dunne is better than the material on offer here, and to be honest he was the main reason I kept on watching.With Henstridge out of the picture, Sunny Mabrey takes over the killer alien role, although she's less violent and more sensual than the Henstridge model. Mabray is no actress, but then Henstridge wasn't either, and at least she isn't shy in the nudity stakes, so there's some continuity there. Sadly, the worst thing is the script, which has long slow stretches of nothing much happening and then rushes the action at the climax. Sometimes the main characters just disappear for ages and we're saddled with side characters who don't really count for much. Christopher Neame, forever remembered as Johnny Alucard in Dracula A.D. 1972, pops up as a stuffy officious type who gets messily offed.There are a couple of good gore sequences, including my favourite moment which has a human/alien hybrid literally dissolving into tentacled mush, but the CGI-ridden climax is laughable rather than effective and somewhat reminiscent of TERMINATOR 3. This time around, the female alien is somebody in a suit, and they look just like that – a person in a suit. There's a funny scene in which a security guard is split in half, though, along with a retread of that 'tongue' death from the first film.

After the events of Species II, Eve delivers an offspring in the ambulance. Dr. Abbot (Robert Knepper) escapes with the baby. He's an university professor looking to win awards for the alien DNA. He keeps the alien home who quickly grows up to be Sara (Sunny Mabrey).Species II is horrible. Following directly after those events is a mistake. Is this better than II? Possibly, but not enough to matter. The stink of II infects this movie right from the start. It's a mess that no writer can recover from. It needs to set a distance away from II in almost a reboot. The audience shouldn't need to watch the horrible II before understanding what the hell is going on. Knepper is a good creepy guy and Mabrey is hot. Otherwise, this franchise is done until they decide to reboot it.

The honour of getting a strait to video release is kind of degrading, but in the b-movie industry in doesn't automatically mean that a film is without merit. Take for example the three tremors sequels, fans love those. I'll give Species III a little credit for rejuvenating the concept pioneered in the first movie. This material feels much more fresh than Species II. It manages to continue the story, without getting increasingly shallow as a side effect. What made species so unique was that the film was designed as a bug hunt, but for a while it makes us sympathetic to the bug, rather than repulsed by it. Species III has a similar effect at times, which I must say I didn't expect. It ends on a nice note for a horror film, something which may actually get you interested in Species IV rather than annoyed with the idea. The first thing to like about Species three is, that there is no more Michael Madsen or Natasha Henstridge, both of whom were rather useless in the sequel. Last time we saw Eve (Henstridge) she was in an ambulance on her way to the morgue. That's pretty much where we begin here. Next thing you know she comes alive, if only for a moment to give birth. the military escort Dr. Abbot runs away with the baby, raises her in secret, names her Sara, and once she is old enough formulates a plan to mutate her DNA. He takes on one of his students as an apprentice, who Sara falls in love with. This sums up the basics of the first two acts. The final half hour takes a weird and unnecessary turn, as the film tries overly hard to surpass, its predecessor. Apparently one bomb-shell alien chick is not enough. Why do so many films have climax trouble? being convoluted works in books or TV, but doesn't enrich a movie experience.In the end though, Species III, delivers more than you might expect, even if it lacks a moment of intelligence.

Female, birthed from Henstridge's alien and the alien DNA infected astronaut from the previous film, is close to the most perfect hybrid whose eggs might lend an answer to how to cease the dying half-breed alien species. The half-alien/half-human species, created when the astronaut impregnated human women, have flaws in their DNA and succumb to illnesses and sickness due to their low immunity. Dr. Abbot(Robert Knepper)kidnaps "Sara"(Sunny Mabrey), posing as a soldier in the military, before a half-breed could get her. Abbot is a professor who sees the Nobel Prize in the future if he finds the answer to the perfect half-breed species, devoid of the current flaws plaguing them now. He seeks assistance from a gifted student, Dean(Robin Dunne), to help him in collecting data and perfecting their experiments on Sara. Meanwhile, Sara, who has grown to a young, luscious, sexual creature from an infant in a manner of days, seeks a mate, finding none that are worthy of her impregnation due to their sickness. Abbot and Dean always remain in danger as the lethal half-breeds continue their pursuit of Sara and a cure.As with most second sequels and beyond, the premise of the half-breed female sexpot aliens is wearing thin despite rampant nudity by stunningly gorgeous naked bodies. While some of the f/x are effective(..such as Henstridge's giving birth to infant Sara, subsequently strangled by a half-breed alien boy's tongue in the truck with her;a man is split in half by an alien Sara's tongue;some cool disease-riddled aliens in human form showing nasty flesh wounds developing), the budget has certainly dwindled somewhat when compared to the other films...such as when Sara murders the college dean which isn't the least bit convincing. Also, the story is smaller scale, removed from the governmental/national/global aspects which enriched the apocalyptic terror, instead taking place almost completely within a university town where college kids reside...sure, in dialogue that global terror exists, but in this film, the setting is confined in one significant area. Leads Dunne and Knepper are okay enough, and Mabrey is a babe. Yet, compared to Henstridge, who is almost irreplaceable as the incredibly sexy alien from the previous two installments, Mabrey is also smaller scale. As a sequel to an okay franchise, I have seen worse. And, we at least get to see the alien creature designs again, even if there few and far between.
