Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 5-star with an axplanation and a disclaimer attached
Review: All bad reviews of "Species 3" are right.

1 minus star rating because this movie is the weakest of all 3, it stinks if you will and has no socially redeeming features. Well, so what. It's entertaining, interesting and has lots of nudity. We need to see naked women because the moral police wants all of us to be clean and innocent choir boys. In the back of my mind I have a notion that a lot of Muslim boys have never seen women in their lives. No wonder they volunteer for suicide bombings.

I will give 1 minus star to MGM for being stingy with the budget. All reviews I have read until now, don't bother mentioning this fact. You get the truth by listening to the comments of director Brad Turner.

As an example, there is one scene where you see a gasoline hose spilling fuel on the ground and expect an explosion. Nothing. The director says, however, they wanted an explosion but could not do it due to budget constraints.

C'mon, MGM, don't kill a good thing. Improve it. You can do it! Give this guys more money!

5-stars for the work done by Sunny Mabrey as Sara, the alien. Her character has not only remarkable but extremely difficult scenes. She succeeds with flying colors. Besides that, she has a perfect figure and I am deeply in love with her. If all aliens are like Sunny, we should open our doors to them without hesitation.

A second alien, a real mean one, portrayed by Amelia Cooke, is outstanding. This lady not only has a perfect figure but her acting is superb. I am deeply in love with her too. My door is wide open.

Anoter 1 minus star because there is no frontal nudity. With so much uninhibited beauty around, to be prudish is a felony.

If the way of the future is HD-direct-to-video filming of this kind, I am all for it. For once, we will have no stupid censorship and, as grown-ups are supposed to be able to do, we shall choose what we want to watch without well-intentioned zealots telling us what is good for us.

This movie stands below S1 and S2, but it was done with honesty. The crew not only had to struggle with a limited budget but also they filmed it in 28 days. I am sure the director could have introduced still more nudity (not a bad idea) but decided not to do so. That's honesty and confirms my 5-star rating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great entry into the species series.
Review: Don't let the other critics fool you, Species III is a pretty
entertaining entry into the species series, true it was
to direct to video, but with MGM backing up this installment
with Brad Turner taking the helm, you knew it be pretty good.

Natasha Henstridge briefly reprises her role as "Eve" to the
Species series and gives birth to another alien Sara,
who is the latest genetic alien.

This time around though we got an excellent sidestory about
the halfbreeds, half human, half alien freaks who dont
bother in either class and die out from disease.

Well a couple of more dangerous new half breeders come
out to seek Sara in hopes of using her eggs to breed
a new race.

The acting is pretty good, the movie has some impressive
effects and the movie like the other two sequels is
very scary and gory.

The Special Edition DVD comes with four great featurettes,
which includes interviews with the cast and crew including
the beautiful Natasha Henstridge, commentary and a look
back into why the Species series has been so successful.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: please, kill this series!
Review: I fell asleep....
If you want to see a little T&A, then this might be for you (then again why not rent a porno?)
If you want to see a horror movie, then this falls right into the roger corman generic, no story line, bad FX horror movies...
I gave it one star for the lead girls roll, and the fact that there is 100's of worse horror movies than this. The problem is, there is 1000's better than this

Summary: Saw it and I'll pass!!
Review: I was hoping that this 3rd movie would be better than number 2, but it's long and boring......my advise is just stick with the first one as that one was a really good movie.
Too bad 2 & 3 sucked, oh well live and learn!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad, really really bad.
Review: Oh dear, how can I begin to describe how bad Species III is? Umm... oh dear. Please do yourselves a favour, if you liked either of the first two and are curious to see how the "story" pans out... just DON'T. Truly, truly awful.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Can Somebody Pass the Cheese...
Review: OK, here we go again! Not bad for direct to video, but not nearly as good as the first. I get the sense a TV show may be coming, lets hope not. Unrated features lots more nudity and gore than seen on Sci-Fi channel. Acting is cheesy, creatures are cheesy, set design is cheesy, but so was the 2nd installment. If you have the first 2, then you do need part 3 to complete your set. Just sit back, grab some pizza for all that cheese, and enjoy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's direct to video, what do you expect?
Review: Okay folks, the first half of Species, the original movie actually made a genuine effort into being a "good movie". The "b horror flick" ending we were given let open the door for a downgraded cast to return and plod through a mish-mash plot just to get to another alien sex-hack-fest. Now we roll around to Species III, which probably broke its budget convincing Nastasha Henstridge to come back as a corpse "just one more time... I promise". If you bought this or are going to rent this with hopes of seeing her run around naked for half the movie, go back to species I and II, she doesn't do much of anything in this flick. Taking the "species" genre yet one more direction it shouldn't go, this junk adds the element of "half-breeds". Half human - half alien messes that run around with bad immune systems that need their genomes jacked up and patched in order to live. The crux of this movie is a bunch of grad. students and a professor trying to make a pure strain of "the alien" that can live on earth. (cause the fame of creating a new species is totally worth wrecking the native population of a planet)I'll spare you more wonderous plot points and just get down to brass tacks: The goods: Yet another naked chick running around being "an alien". The bads: H.R. Geiger did enough when he helped inspire the whole "alien" series of movies... (the first 2 are excellent). But the species movies are just cheap knock offs that have sexual overtones and "alienized" human bodies fight and have sex a bunch of times. (hmmm... maybe that isn't too bad...)The uglies: We are treated to no less than 4 takes of a gate to the dorm room of the "grad students" opening and closing, poor rubber suits (species II atleast had CGI), an even MORE retarded ending than species I or II and of course the opportunity for a species IV!!! Oh NoOOooOOOoooooo!!!!! Its crap folks, but its good crap to goof on some nite with friends and pizza.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was inevitable
Review: Species 3 picks up right where the second ends. It starts off with Eve giving birth to the perfect Alien before being killed by a halfing. A College Professor takes the Alien child and escapes from the Government. He then raises the small Alien in hopes that he can perfect it and there for become famouse in the name of science. However the halflings want her because she holds the key to their survival. Eventually the government finds them but only sends in one agent to take care of the problem. In the end the perfect alien escapes into the tranquil country where she can live in peace.

This movie has a lot of problems the worst being the made for TV feel. There were many times that I swore this was a made for Sci Fi Movie. The second is that this title is no longer the Sci Fi Horror Erotica that the first two were. Sure the Alien gets naked (Sorry no full frontal) as well as one of the hybrids. But beyond that there is nothing else to brag about. The plot did make an increase but in truth who watched the first two for the plot. Come on the story is that an alien who looks like a hot chick screws guys and kills them. This I pray is the death nail to the series. Not Recomended.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beyond bad
Review: The third, and hopefully final, entry into the Species series finds a low budget approach taken to the film. Series star Natasha Henstridge makes an all too short cameo in the beginning of the film, as she births a super hot alien/human hybrid with mating on her mind. Besides that, the rest of Species 3 comes off like a made for TV movie, with some bad FX but some nice T&A to go around. The acting is horrible, the story barely makes any sense, and there is hardly any redeeming factor to be found in the film. Fans of the surprise 1995 guilty pleasure hit and even it's lacking sequel may want to check this out since it does continue the tradition of what is in a Species movie: no plot, but a horde of gore and nudity.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Feh...
Review: Yeah, Species 3 has a hoochie and some decent blood and gore but it turns into a silly mess. This 3rd volume in the Species series is the cheapest of the three films and it shows.

The plot of Species 3 centers around a crazy scientist who thinks growing planet-devouring alien monsters is a good idea. He ropes another dope into his scheme and they take turns cleaning up after the half monster/half hoochie.

If you are really curious, then I guess you should buy this film but you will be disappointed.
