Review of Species III

Species III (2004 TV Movie)
4/10
Very Average and Confusing, but worth one watch nonetheless.
6 January 2009
I have watched the first three one night in a row and it seems like this one the scriptwriters were seriously smoking something potent when they wrote the script to this.

You could argue it has somewhat logic to it all, and with the way the characters act, but the logic is like the sort of logic only the craziest bond villain would possibly have, or just Dr Evil logic.

For example the first moment of the movie has a college professor pretending to be an army officer just so he can steal the last surviving alien to take home to make a master pure alien race so he can win a Nobel prize? (I guess that said professor did not know that Nobel made the prize after inventing nitroglycerin, realising it was actually dangerous to mankind so created the Nobel prize specifically to reward scientists for making things that are good and a benefit for humankind) So how he thinks creating a pure race of alien that simply wants to destroy all human kind would win him this prize is way beyond me to understand?.

Now to get back above, why the army would also allow something so highly top secret and risky to be put in charge of and transported back to the base in the hands of someone who nobody didn't even know is beyond all rational logic to me too.

The only good thing about the movie in my opinion was the incredibly hot alien that comes out of nowhere in the final act just to be the final fight villain which obviously a film like this needed and clearly the filmmakers felt could not have been Sara as she was a very likable character so tacked on this other vicious Alien hot girl for solely that role.

Which by the way she came into the film by posting on the internet in the personals ads asking if anyone out there knows and can explain to her what alien DNA is, which our hero's roommate steals the info from his journal just so he can potentially get in on with the hot girl which surprisingly turns out to be a bad idea, you can tell I am not making this up as I doubt anyone could make this up bar the one writer of this movie.

Overall I felt it was an okay watch, the main alien girl was not a patch on Natasha Henstridge, but the incredibleness of the villain sort of made up for this. She should have been Sara though in my opinion as she was a better actor, had more edge to her and also was, in my opinion, much more attractive.

I will be watching 4 tomorrow.
