Newcomer Sunny Mabrey plays Sara, the first genetically perfect specimen of her species, who is kidnapped upon birth by a professor who has his own selfish reasoning to keep her alive. Hounded by the army and other human-alien DNA hybrids bent on breeding, the hunt is on for the professor and Sara to create another perfect offspring any way they can. Premiering on the Sci-Fi channel in November of 2004, the erotic sci-fi thriller came to DVD a month later in a director's cut supervised by the director, Brad Turner, a TV veteran whose show credits include Andromeda, Stargate SG-1, and the '90s revamp of Outer Limits. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

    Third film in this series is a sign that the franchise should have ended after the second flick. However that wasn't to be. Here we have a violent film with little emphasis on story, or effective sci fi horror elements that made the first film a good popcorn flick. This film has ... read morelittle interesting elements to make this film a good, entertaining flick. Species III is a flawed picture that uses the same old tired ideas that don't work. This third entry suffers and you can easily see why. Usually in a series, by the third entry, filmmakers are struggling with ideas to try and make their film interesting, exciting and fun. However, this film plays out like a tired out rehash of the first two films, with no new refreshing ideas. The film is pointless and is a film that lacks an effective story to really make it a watchable film. The film may deliver on gore content, but has really bad special effects at the same time, not to mention it lacks any depth and substance, which could have made the film much better. Unfortunately, The underdeveloped script makes this film unwatchable, and not a worthy entry in the series. The film will most likely disappoint die-hard fans of the original film, and you may ask yourself if it's actually worth your time. The answer is no, this film uses old ideas, that are tiresome to see this time around. Species III is a bad film, and really isn't worth your time.

    A very average at best 3rd installment. Natasha Henstridge only has a small scene at the start leading the story straight on from the 2nd film. Basically another pretty alien babe wants an equal created for her, while hybrids are after a DNA cure from her. It's not bad for a TV m... read moreovie, not as good as the first two though.

    To quote a line of dialogue from this movie sums this one up - "we've already been down this road... twice". But, this sequel does have some pretty good gore effects, and an absolutely stunning raven-haired hotty who's introduction to the film comes far too late on. My personal f... read moreav of the Species movies.

    This prequel is perfect if you like half-naked models, pseudoscience, and cheesy special effects.

    I like the Species movies and I knew this was going to suck, but watched it anyway. I had no idea it would suck as much as it did though. Horrible acting and stupid plot and was really not worth watching.

    aw man really....is that the best they could do...skip this one unless you are a die-hard species fan.

    major guilty pleasure. Definitely a .99 cent rental but I awarded it 3 stars because its fun to watch, has gore, and a beautiful leading lady.

    I think this is a great 2004 TV movie sequel shown on the Sci-Fi channel. Natasha Henstridge appears in a small sceen as Eve who gives birth to her daughter, Sara. A great story and interesting special effects.

    didnt like it any more than the other two... should have quit while they were ahead.. I actually think they lost money making this film

Despite lack of story depth, and very low-tech special and creature effects, this was a pretty entertaining sequel... Full Review

It sure isn't what you'd call a "good film," but Species 3 has the sense to deliver the goods. Full Review

An exercise meant for pre-adolescents too young to rent porn conning adolescent video store clerks into letting them rent it solely for its wanking potential. Full Review

...for die-hard fans of the series only. And I'm sure they, too, will be sorely disappointed. Nothing new, nothing original, nothing innovative has been added to the recipe. Full Review

...Species III is often incredibly dull - no small feat given the amount of nudity and violence in the flick. Full Review
