Has any woman ever burst on to the scene hotter than Natasha Henstridge in Species?! I think not, my friend. Think about it, well, better yet, just go watch it and see for yourself! Natasha's beautiful. Her boobs are magnificent and breathtaking. Species is graciously one of the better skin-classics and all thanks to Natasha. Species' also and far less significantly one of the better sci-fi action-thrillers too attributed to the terrific cast, dedicated story writing, awesome nostalgic science fiction theme, its all-around inexplicable sexiness, and primarily for the beautifully touching alien character played by Natasha who is no evil monster at all but a true innocent. In a movie loaded with established performers, Kingsley, Madsen, Whitaker, Molina, Helgenberger and a young beautiful Michelle Williams, Henstridge by far gives the best and the overall most impressive performance and it's not even close. Anybody who thinks differently, I think not. I love Species; Natasha is the main attraction, but Sil staying one step ahead of the team of scientists trying to hunt her down is entirely interesting stuff. They don't make 'em like this anymore!

Species has a somewhat decent plot and primal fun. A lot of the allure is the beautiful and seductive Natasha Henstridge and her primal goal of becoming impregnated to conceive. This sees her have relations with a number of married man which can be satisfying but watching them die after the encounter was even more satisfying. The plot and hunt for this alien is interesting and manages to capture the attention throughout. As a child we see her different, unusual but still dangerous. Her intentions and dangerous consequences juxtapose nicely with her radiant beauty. This makes her dangerous and harder to kill. If you want an interesting flick which is easy to follow and contains some good primal action then Species is recommended.

Dennis Feldman's 'Species' is a severely underrated science fiction film from the 90s. The film touches on many themes, including the meaning of life, human desires, specifically procreation, human interaction, kindness/empathy, selfishness, fear, manipulation, intuition, following orders. It does so in a way that is mostly sublime enough that it comes across as genuine. For example there is a fairly believable romance buried in there underneath layers of alien slime. The dialog is mostly well written and to the point, the actors are great and there's lots of attention to detail. Combine that with some great and grotesque visuals, courtesy of the late Hans Ruedi Giger and some Cronenbergian body horror and you're in for a fascinating ride through Los Angeles.The dialog doesn't always work, like when they're trying to track her down and are quickly jumping to conclusions about things that the audience already knows. Scenes vary in quality, some feel a bit rushed. While the effects are mostly excellent there are some subpar ones, too.Overall I highly recommend it if you can get something out of sci-fi horror.

I really liked how they got the female as the main villain of this film. I also really enjoyed most of the acting. The only person that had no point in being in this film was the worst actor ever, Forest Whitaker! He had absolutely no point in this film! He should of got killed I think because otherwise his character had no meaning at all being in this film! There's this one scene he says, "She walked over there!" Then I said, "No duh you stupid idiot!" My god I don't know how he ever got in the acting business because he is the dullest and worst actor I have ever seen in my life! I hope to never see him in a film ever again because he really destroyed the film for me. I liked everybody else though because they all were very believable scientific characters. It's a 7 out of 10 due to all the violence that happened all because a female alien just wants to have kids.
