| Species III Review by Gareth Von Kallenbach |
|
In the new direct to DVD release "Species III", the alien hybrid storyline
continues. Picking up with the conclusion of "Species II" the alien/human
hybrid Eve (Natasha Henstridge), has been wounded by soldiers and is on
her way via military transport back to a secret base.
Eve gives birth and before the military can contain the situation the new offspring have vanished leaving only a dead Eve and soldiers as well as many questions. A Dr. attached to the ambulance transporting Eve, named Abbot (Robert Knepper), has taken one of the offspring, and named her Sara (Sunny Mabrey), with the hopes that he can use her to make a pure strain and harmless alien species. Things seem to be going as planned until other offspring start to arrive all with various health problems. It seems that Sara holds the key to the survival of the alien species on Earth as she is unhindered by any of the conditions that affect the others. Before long, it is a race against time to protect Sara from the offspring and the military as well as from herself as her desire to mate has started to surface and all life on earth is threatened as a result. While the third chapter does not have the budget that the last two films had, there are some good moments. Mabrey is solid as Sara and shows that she is more than capable of taking over the franchise should future chapters come. The film does drag in some spots and the supporting work is not as effective as it was in the first two since Michael Madsen, and Marg Helenberger are missing from this installment as are any surviving characters from the previous two films. While it may not work as a theatrical release, "Species III" is an entertaining rental despite some flaws. 2.5/5
