Movies-TV

But still...

Even in these harsh circumstances, one can still see that Natasha Henstridge is not only an amazing babe but also a pretty decent actress. She definitely deserves better than this.

Surprised it made the theaters

I can't believe this made the big screen. This movie should have gone straight to tape, it is simply atrocious. Everything about this movie is bad; the acting (what little there is), the story (what little there is) and the special effects. The only thing it accomplishes is being a total gross-out. If you like steamy sex scenes to then see the woman get mutilated during childbirth, this movie is for you! Even if you only watched this movie to see Natasha H. get naked, you'll probably even be disappointed there! And the end where the aliens have sex is simply the stupidist I've seen. The special effects look like a cheap rip-off from Aliens and the way the male Species suffocates Eve with what looks like a phallic tentacle is beyond dumb.I cannot recommend this movie to anyone.

Maximum Perversion: Typical T&A Movie

Don't waste your time on this one. I saw this one before I saw the original Species. I don't know how that would affect me, but I do know this. I forced myself all the way through it. This is nothing but a ... T&A Sci Fi movie. Really isn't worth your time if you have any class whatsoever. Please forget this one.

Why, Peter?

This stupid sequel for Species (1995) is directed by the very gifted director, Peter Medak who has made some real films including The Krays and Romeo Is Bleeding. There has to be only one reason for him to have made this: money, no matter what.The plot has a space crew which returns to Earth and they have.. guess what with them? Soon bodies will be found in slimy and gory condition and so on..The plot is almost the same as in the first Species.The film is stupid and glorifies once again United States too much. This film is pure trash without any significant and worth mentioning values. This should not have been made. The money would have had better ways to be spent, but I think this is the disease which lives inside Hollywood and even great film makers have to suffer parts of it.Pure crap. 2/10

great horror and action movie

This movie is a great flip of the coin on the horror genre. The storyline is not large and confusing, but is exciting at the same time. This movie is a good and former evil against evil. It shows you that humanity exists even in the strangest of places. This movie also showed that certain characters never learn their lesson even if you change the circumstances. This is a must-see movie and is very moving so don't miss it.

Silly, fun, not scary.

Three astronauts voyage on a historic mission to Mars. Upon return, they are forbidden from "making whoopie" (even after their isolation period) for reasons unexplained. However, because evil martian DNA has invaded the astronauts, once they cut loose and "get some" monstrous results ensue! Meanwhile, Eve, the monster from the first movie, has been geneto-scienterifically reincarnated as a good guy (sort of the like the Terminator, but I digress). She is now hanging out in a sealed bubble, attended to by female scientists. You see, if Eve espies a man, she is likely to freak out and go into the kind of terrifying mating frenzy that made the first movie such a riot. I have an ex-girlfriend like that. Anyway, these martian-DNA-tainted astronauts are out there, and only Eve can stop them. So it is a battle to the death between hot-looking naked Natasha Hensridge and some equally naked muscly astronaut dude who has become the alien.Sound silly? Well, my God, it is. Don't bring your fascination with astrophysics or biotechnology with you when you pop this DVD in the player. Nope. Get some buddies, pop open some brewskis, microwave up some popcorn, and have a good laugh ridiculing the film. The alien monsters are totally hilarious. During one scene where an astronaut is afflicted with the Mars fever, she fires a tentacle out of her privates and rips her husband's head off with it. Can you beat that? So, you should get a laugh out of that stuff. Natasha looks pretty hot in her numerous naked scenes, and she isn't the only nubile actor/actress who is revealed, either.So, good for an evening of light entertainment.

More holes than the Albert Hall

This movie is an insult to human intelligence. I am a sci-fi fan and am willing to suspend my disbelief to a point. This movie is way beyond that point.I can't describe all the holes in a thousand words or less, so I'm just going to point out the one that the whole movie is based on. 3 humans come back from Mars from an extended mission. and this is their quarantine:
Don't have sex, we'll be doing blood tests soon, to see if you're OK.Not even 24 hours isolation? Or blood test first, then release them? Come on. Especially when the government had reason to believe dangerous alien infections resided there?Besides the Supreme alien beings that thrive there, they would have been quarantined against bacterial infections.The writer, director, and editors should all be flogged for this movie. If it was there first attempt, that would be one thing. It wasn't.

Great movie - much better than the first one!

Well, what can I say about this movie... actually it's almost the same story as the first part, but there are more special effects. The story's a little bit boring because after 20 minutes you know what the end is gonna be like!!! But I'd recommend to you to buy this movie beause it's really great!!!

Not bad!

I know, not many people share my opinion, but I find this movie quite good. Okay, the acting could have been better, but all in all, this is a good movie. I think it's worth a rental!

A merely OK film.

I just got this on LD to complement my Species LD; I had seen Species II in the theatre, but really had forgotten what it was like.Species was very fun- a lot of people compared it to a B movie, but in a good way. Species II apparently took a wrong turn in development, and went further down the "B" side, instead of the "good" side.For all of the people complaining about the sex scenes- that's what the original Species was about, too. Here's the main unwritten plot; Natasha is a beautiful female alien, and she goes into heat when she needs/wants to mate. No amount of window dressing is going to obscure that. Now, considering that plot, why watch the movie if you don't want to watch sex scenes? (If you wish Species/Species II went *further* with the sex, though, I recommend Femalien and Femalien 2)Unfortunately, the movie just isn't as fun as Species. Natasha looks great, but this time we get the equal-opportunity-murders of a male alien, killing women thru sex, until he's aware of Natasha's presence. Somehow, the guy isn't as fun as Natasha to watch.The special effects are bad, and the plot trappings are kind of lame (Mars landing? Now?). If this film were an out-of-the-blue independent SF film, people would still probably rave about its ingenuity. As it stands, though, it's a faint glimmer of its predecessor.

Don't walk...Run from this movie!

Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. Cardboard characters, laughable plot, bad acting, cheesy effects, etc., etc. You know a movie's truly awful when an oh-so-lovely and gratuitously nude Natasha Henstridge can't save it.
Worse than a waste of money, it's a complete waste of time.

So bad it's almost entertaining

There's something very ironic about the two Species films. The first one was terrible because of it's stupidity and relentlessly boring action/nudity scenes. The sequel, Species 2, is almost as bad but it's the film's sheer awfulness that actually makes it watchable. That's not saying the film's any good, of course. Species 2 features more gory violence and a little less sex/nudity than the original but by keeping the running time short and by making the plot a lot more ridiculous (with the addition of the Mars landing and the cloning of the original alien, Sil, into Eve) the film is bearable and never boring.

Primarily, the film seems to be out to make a quick buck so it doesn't try much of anything innovative. As another critic put it, it's a perverse and horny version of Alien. That obviously means the film's going to be full of nudity, which it is. The same goes for excessive violence, and the film does feature some very gory scenes that could have somebody reaching for a sick bag.

Performance-wise, there's nothing new here. Michael Madsen looks a little bored, George Dzundza overacts completely, and Mykelti Williamson spouts some very inane dialogue. The only person who delivers something close to a respectable performance is Marg Helgenberger. Justin Lazard as the alien/human on the loose sometimes does a decent job looking scared and occasionally menacing but he's mostly laughable. As for Natasha Henstridge, this film confirms what I believed after having seen the origin: she cannot act. I'm not even sure what her real purpose in the film is. I mean, she doesn't show much nudity (and when she does she's covered in blood: that's quite an uncomfortable sight) and the whole psychic link idea doesn't really do much.

On the whole, those looking for mindless gory violence and nudity will get their fill with Species 2. Everybody else needs to steer clear. Though if you're looking for a film of this similar plot, I recommend Lifeforce (a fun and okay sci-fi thriller with a gorgeous extraterrestrial seductress).

Okay if you liked the first

If you liked the first one you should find this sequel moderately entertaining. If you hated the first, stay away!. I actually thought this film was okay - for a sequel. The storyline follows on nicely from the first and the special effects are good. Michael Madsen, Marg Helgenberger reprising their roles join gorgeous Natasha Henstridge, also from the first film while Justin Lazard takes over from Henstridge as the 'alien on the loose'. Natasha is this time on the side of the good guys as they try to stop him breeding with the country's females and spawning a whole alien generation!, Not bad but I think they should call it a day now.

GORIEST SEQUEL IVE SEEN

SEX IS DANGEROUS BETTER THAN THE FIRST SPECIES AFTER THE SEX SCENES BRUTAL CONSEQUENCES HAPPEN AND GORY AND BRUTAL DEATH HAPPENS

Okay

The movie is okay (I missed the opening 15 minutes which were meant to be the best)There is no plot, just nude men and women. But that's okay if that is the kind of movie you want. The gore is pretty much the same as the original.Rent the video, but don't bother going to the cinema ** out of *****

Yuck.

Ye gods. I could write pages about this trash, but seen as noone else involved in the film could be bothered to strain themselves, I won't either. Instead, I'll just say this: imagine Species, but take the one good bit out of it (the originality of having a woman as the monster) and with worse effects. Then forget all about it and rent something better instead

Please no

Please do not go to see this, it is shocking to say the least, I thought it might be better than the original, but OH NO ITS NOT. Sequels are usually bad ideas, and this goes along with the rest. Stay away.

i spent 6 dollars for what?

This movie makes cool as ice look like an oscar nominee!! I watched the movie in a horrified state--only because I spent six dollars to watch it. i'm certian that George and Abe would choke me to death if they knw how I spent them. the plot was both simple and boreing. the movie offerd no surprises-no moments that would cause one to jump in his or her seat. The only redeeming quality that this movie had was that natasha is one beautiful alien. more naked natasha ;and less everything else and the movie would have been passable.

Proof Positive That Most Sequels are LOUSY!

Although the original will not go down as one of the classics of the sci-fi genre, this sequel makes the first seem like "Citizen Kane." Cheaply made with horrible special effects, the film reads like a primer for bad film making. The incredibly awful acting from the accomplished cast makes the viewer cringe. This is one movie to avoid like the plague. Hopefully, the series will end with this one...or will it?

This movie is so bad, I no longer believe in God

Some movies are bad. No big deal, I lose a couple bucks. Still some redeeming qualities. Some movies are so bad, they're good (note: ANY Ed Wood movie) yet again, not an entire waste of time. Then there is this movie. I see movies a lot. I have my own rating scaling it goes from 1 to 10. I saw Species 2 and had to devise a new system. This is movie is so bad I give it a C on a scale of 1-10. This movie is so bad it bends the space-time continuum (watching the movie is like an eternity).When I walked into this movie I thought of hell as a place of eternally burning hellfire, now I think hell is a Movie theatre where this is the only movie showing.Why is it bad?: I'm sorry, but a thousand words just isn't enough space to truly express the horridness of this movie.After seeing this movie I contemplated not having children so I would not bring anything into a world where this, this thing can be passed off as a movie.Frankly I would rather shovel manure for the rest of my life than see this movie again. You think I'm joking, don't you? I kid you not my friends. If you've seen this movie, you understand what I'm saying.If you haven't seen this movie, I envy you, because the day I die I will be thinking about the two hours of my life I wasted watching this movie when I could have been banging my head against a wall or watching grass grow.But honestly folks; I would rather have naked photos of Bea Arthur tatooed on my inner eyelids so that I see her when I sleep than see this movie again.
