Having not seen either of the previous Species movies, I pretty much prepared to watch Species III as some sort of soft core action flick. I won't say I was disappointed, per se, but rather surprised just how low grade this entire movie feels.
Take the introduction, at the 'generating facility'. Our stalwart hero, Dean, having moved up from starring into Skulls II and Cruel Intentions II into Species III, is pretty much a genius, studying and developing about twenty different kinds of sciences. At the beginning, he's giving a tour of the fission reactor he's helping to work on, before, don't you know it, he's late for Super Duper Advanced Biology.
When he arrives, his harassed professor belittles him. The professor takes no time before he starts drooling over viruses, calling them 'the perfect creation' and getting that same glassy look I get when I think of Rachel Leigh Cook and pudding.
Dean raises his hand and quite correctly points out that viruses really aren't perfect since they can't reproduce on their own. Upset that someone is ripping him from his imaginary Viral Harem, the professor hisses about the last remaining smallpox soon to be destroyed and gone forever. He throws his coffee cup against the wall, and announces, "Who are we to decide what species deserves to live and what species deserves to die?!" And then runs off.
That, in fact, seems to be the theme of the whole movie. Who are you to decide whether the Species franchise lives or dies? They can keep making these things as long as they want. What evil people.
The rest of the movie, which mostly involves lots of silicone from what I recall, is pretty lazy, and keeps shooting out super science to a degree that even I couldn't follow.
I wouldn't bother with this unless you really want to see naked women. I mean, sure, there are people who really want to see naked women, but, seriously, there are better naked women to see. This is a movie where the main alien is named after Sara Lee pie, and not once, after she kills someone or walks around naked for a certain amount of time, does anyone chuckle "Nobody does it like Sara Lee!" I mean, am I the only who that was obvious to? I must be crazy.
Rating: 1/10
