Movie Info

In the science-fiction thriller Species (1995), Natasha Hentsridge appeared as the beautiful but deadly Sil, a human-alien DNA combo. In this sequel, Hentsridge portrays Eve, a government experiment concocted to gain an understanding of how to combat future aliens, while Michael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger repeat their roles from the earlier film. When astronaut Patrick Ross (Justin Lazard) returns from the first manned Mars expedition, he's infected with the same DNA that spawned Sil and Eve.

R, 1 hr. 33 min.

A clone of the first film except with a small twist...

'It's awful; it's just awful, gasps Marg Helgenberger in one scene of this absolutely abysmal follow-up ... viewers are likely to find their heads nodding in agreement.

A totally unnecessary sequel that will likely only please 12-year-old boys.

The sequel ups the "silly" ante without bringing any new brains to the table.

A stinky sequel with a huge DUH factor.

Pure exploitation of breasts, blood, and beasts, often without digital enhancement. Absolutely freakin' brilliant!

I loved the exploding alien birth. What a riot!

I thought this was an ok follow up to the first film. It keeps 3 of the original cast, including Natasha Henstridge. It's more violent, gory and raunchy than the first as this time round a male astronaut is infected with the alien DNA and has an urge to breed. Not as good as the first but far better than I thought it would be.
