The only reason to watch Species, unless you are a sci-fi fan who has to every sci-fi movie out there, is Natasha Henstridge. This was her "acting" debut, at age 20, and she certainly makes a splash. While she is a competent actress her true "talent" lies is the fact she is one of the most seriously beautiful women God has ever created. The movie has no shortage of gratuitous nude scenes of Ms. Henstridge and that makes up for an otherwise mediocre movie. Henstridge plays Sil - a half bred alien/human who escapes from the research laboratory where she was created. The movie centers around her quest to find a human mate and her adventures make for a good satire on the late 20th Century singles scene. Also worth seeing, but not as well revealed, is Marge Helgenberger of CSI fame. She is part of a team trying to stop Sil from populating the earth with other over sexed aliens. I won't tell you if they succeed or not. Another name actor in the movie is Ben Kingsley who wastes his Oscar caliber talent on this lackluster vehicle. In short, Henstridge makes this film what little it is - a soft core porn flick diguised as a science fiction thriller. If thats all you want from it then that is what you will get.Read full review
The mix of quality and price for two DVDs and special features as well is impressive.
