Pretty terrible.
Saw a screener of this last night..fell asleep 1/4 into it.
Acting made me cringe..The plot? What plot?
Live with no other thought but to love and be loved in this kingdom by the sea
Obviosly a chick flick. Haha. Maybe tune into Bryans Song next time. Of course theres a plot. If you are too stupid to see that you should just sleep. Was a cool film!
shareI have to agree with the first poster. Awful film, really how boring can you get? Plot made no sense. Bad acting. Ridiculous characters and dialog. Pretty much proves you shouldn't do sequels forever.
And yes, loved the first Species.
You thought this was boring and had a messed up plot? Did you see number 3? This is light years ahead. Sure, the acting and dialogue weren't magical but this is far better than the other sequels.
shareHow can you say it's terrible if you fell asleep 1/4 into the film. If you fell asleep, why even post it on the boards. Duh!
shareThey where put to sleep by the film... duh!
And I agree, its crap. People only watch these stupid films for the sex. I'd rather just watch some proper dirty porn, then watch a real movie.
If you are put to sleep 15 minutes into a movie, you are either dead tired or you already decided that you wouldn't like the film. This makes you assume that even though you didn't watch the movie, you can still comment on it. That's like eating half of something and saying how full the whole thing will make you. Anyone that doesn't like this movie either decided that before seeing it and will stick to it regardless of how good the movie is or they are bitching that there's no Natasha or not enough nudity.
share"If you are put to sleep 15 minutes into a movie, you are either dead tired or you already decided that you wouldn't like the film."
...or the film just really sucked... Or perhaps they actually watched a bit more and the 1/4 statement wasn't accurate to the second? I hate when people do that... You are essentially complaining that this person isn't entitled to their opinion because they didn't see enough of the movie to make a fair judgement of it.... and then you go and take that 1/4 thing litterally, and then made a snap judgement about them.
P.S and your food analogy was crap.
Ok, fair enough statement. But tell me this: if you see the first 20 or 25 minutes of a movie like Alien, will you assume it is a classic? More than likely, no. Movies usually have three acts. The first act can be entirely different than the last two and vice versa. Judging a movie on the first part alone is ridiculous. And besides, maybe the first 15 or 20 minutes really DID suck, that does not mean the whole movie did, which is what this guy is trying to claim.
He's entitled to any opinion he wants about the part of the movie he actually SAW. But to say the entire movie sucks without seeing the entire movie is a... how did you put it? Snap judgement.
Fair statement too. But really, if a movie actually physically puts you to sleep in the first 20 minutes, its usually a safe bet that its not great =)

Since I haven't watched this movie, I cannot comment on its merits. However, I'd like to point out that there are plenty decent movies that start out boring. For example: Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown only picks up steam half hour into the movie. And the enjoyment of the movie may also depend on your mood. On my first try at Robert Altman's Gosford Park, I fell asleep after 15 minutes or so, and thought the movie was bad. On my second try several months later, I was hooked after the same 15 minutes.

This part is better than the second or the third one, but worse than the first. It did not put me sleep, but I hate about it that we still don't know where are the aliens / hybrids from and I can't understand why they have to have the sex scenes in it. In the first film Sil wanted to breed, so she had to make love. But these parts? What these creatures want? Pleasure? These movies could be called Bitches: *beep* me to death. Or The Sexiest (?) Killing Machines. Or something similar. In the next part the Hybrid could get married with any human and they could have children as well. Or that would be an other movie? And why are they killing people? Is it a new sport? Or their hobby? Or the human flesh tastes for them like the chicken for the humans? And the most exciting question: who killed the people in the hospital and what happened to him / her? I don't really know.
shareOk, I will try to answer this as best I can. The hybrids in this movie can from Forbes's lab. He made them all, many for people who had lost a loved one. The sex scenes are due to the fact that these creatures are trying to reproduce and in order to do that, you have to have sex. (Also, these films pretty much fall squarely into the category of "exploitation" flick. So boobs and sex need to be at a premium.)
They kill people that get in their way or bother them. Why? Because they can. And as far as who killed everyone in the hospital.... it was MIRANDA! Duh. How did you miss that. Her body changed into the alien form and those instincts took over while here "human side" was not aware of anything. So the alien went on a rampage. After said rampage, Tom found a human Miranda laying unconscious in one of the hospital rooms.
Hopefully that helped.

It's ok, different folks, different strokes. My guess is you were hoping for a softcore tit movie and instead got something with a plot.

How the hell do you call this a softcore tit movie? There was barely any sex in the thing and 90% of the time the aforementioned tits had the nipples covered, meaning they weren't fully exposed. And I still don't get how so many people don't know what the plot for the movie is. Hell, they put it on the back of the movie case for you and it's actually pretty accurate (unlike Species 3).
Here's the non-spoiler, quick version of the plot so all you people that missed it can stop bitching:
"Miranda is a beautiful young college professor. She is living a great life until she has a mysterious blackout and wakes up not remembering anything. Her uncle, the man that raised her, whisks her away and tells her that is actually an alien/human hybrid. As her condition gets worse, they make their way to Mexico to find the man that her uncle had done the experiments with alien DNA with. But it soon becomes apparent that Miranda is running out of time and her uncle has to make a difficule decision that could save her life but may also have horrific consequences."
There, a nice quick plot rundown.
