Species II

This movie is true to the first ones original theme of aliens mating with humans. This movie however does tackle the issue of nature vs nurture in a way that has more appeal than just in the movie. Anyone looking for a movie with deeper tropes should enjoy this sequel.

The movie was okay but I like the first movie better.

While not entirely awful, this sequel could have been so much better. While watching, I was thinking that someone had a good story idea, then the producers said "No, we need more sex! More gore! More violence! And mix all that together!" So what we end up with is more horror than sci-fi, a kind of unsettling mixture of John Carpenter's "The Thing," "Showgirls," and " The Manchurian Candidate. "Natasha Henstridge, Michael Madsen, and Marg Helgenberger are the only returnees from the first film. Marg is government scientist Dr. Baker, who has cloned the dead Sil (Natasha Henstridge) from the first film, and has now bonded in a sisterly sort of way with the more human alien clone named Eve. In fact, one big change from the first film is that both the male and female aliens are greatly humanized, causing the audience to sympathize for them in a way that was not possible in the original film.However, the dialog is clunky, and stupid at times. Some scenes and situations just make no sense whatsoever, and the characters do things that are inconsistent and at times, incredibly dumb. Other scenes are just so ridiculous and unbelievable that you wonder if you are watching an Ed Wood movie instead of a moderate-budget franchise film.The blood and gore quotient is really upped from the first film, as are the (violent and explicit) sex scenes. The special effects are well-done, but rely more on shock value and grotesquery to push their point.On the good side, we discover where the alien race that Sil / Eve represents is from, and what their intended purposes are. And we get to see Madsen and Helgenberger together again, as they had good chemistry in the first film.There's lots of gore, nudity, sex (always ending in a violent death or two), so if you are squeamish about any of that. proceed with caution with this one. There are two more sequels after this, "Species III" and "Species: The Awakening." I have not seen either, but they both went straight to DVD so my expectations are low.

A great sequel to a semi-classic. This Earth bound alien story line is the ultimate morality play about the consequences of elicit unbridled sex. Then there was the ever infectious Frankenstein Fever that always hits the short sighted researchers.Men obsessed with creating life, sigh. Who needs all those gadgets for that?(Never mind,. I'll behave now) And let's not forget about those unwanted pregnancies. It was a time in film making when the "yuck factor" still ruled over general logic in story telling. Although not held strictly to Sci Fi / Horror films, the gore was still escalating in this film series while the budgets were dropping. But, hey! If you liked the first one, you'll love this one!

One way tickets to Mars are an excuse for carelessness in treatment of the crew and spacecraft and making sure they can return home if they change their mind about staying at any point. I hope things don’t go the way of this movie with our travels to Mars. Humankind’s first manned mission to Mars captained by Patrick Ross (a U.S.A. senator’s son and a former Yale football star) is a success and he becomes the first man to set foot (really shoe) on Mars. Only things don’t go according to plan and he is infected on the trip and starts infecting other humans upon returning to Earth as he is sexually promiscuous and the infection spreads sexually. He is also told he is going to be president of the United States one day, he is labeled as one with potential. He decides he is better than all other humans and wants to mate with an alien named Eve. Perhaps this movie is a sign of things to come, good thing we have the novel coronavirus to practice our response to virus outbreaks now. Perhaps you will be a victim to the host of a virus from Mars, possible in our lifetime. I like the ship’s name “Excursion”, time to excurd to Mars and bring back a virus! Natasha Henstridge, who portrays Eve, is gorgeous.

Of the three films in the Species franchise this is my favorite. Then 1. The third one is very skippable.Three astronauts go to Mars and take samples of the soil. What they don't realize is that they've inadvertently brought onto the ship alien DNA. While they are prepping to leave that alien DNA attacks them and they are unconscious for 9 minutes. During those 9 minutes two of the astronauts are infected with alien DNA. The third carries sickle trait and that becomes their weapon against the alien species.Very scary and Natasha Henstridge is completely watchable.

First of all, to all the haters out there bashing this movie, it doesn't help anyone understand what this movie is actually about.This movie is actually an exploration into the male sexuality's mindset. There are obvious themes surrounding this mentality that which seems to be taboo. Notice that during the entire movie the audience as well as the rest of the cast of society is shunning upon the main character's mating spree. It just goes to show you that sex is considered taboo while promoting gory violence in order to stop it. This film is extremely-dark as to portray that reality of the male's mindset as you will witness during several scenes throughout the movie.I thought this movie was a bit too original. I mean, if you take away the Alien DNA, I feel like it'd be just like another Hollywood or Californian homocide act.

If there are movies that give censorship a good name, this is one of them.

She is not to worry about to be alien robotBut isn't she gorgeous I'm not talking aboutAlien intelligents but this alien human is inheritance tax return to national securityThere has been sent to remote accessGovernment operation experiment.

A good film but not as good as the original.

Sometimes sequels tend to be nothing but a big disappointment. Not this one! Every bit as good if not better than the original! Must for fans of the genre.

What can i say its a good follow up to the first
