Quote from: Xenomorphine on Aug 14, 2015, 07:48:42 PMThat's a good evaluation of the film. I decided to watch it again and what we got on film has the ambiance of rehearsal runs. Like a B-roll tape that never got that A polish. I think that is where it suffers most.Quote from: whiterabbit on Aug 14, 2015, 09:31:23 AM
Species looks no where as good today as it did when it first came out.... actually it may have been just another titty movie. I mean it was Natasha Henstridge's tits that got people in the theater, for the most part.
It was more the director who was responsible for that side of it. While the nudity did harm it, there was a lot of interesting stuff in there. Especially Forest Whitaker's character and how Sil's perspective on humanity was evolving. Even the seduction scenes had a nicely chilling predatory serial killer air about them.
I kind of put it in the same league as 'Event Horizon' and 'Virus' for that reason: Flawed, but entertainingly rewatchable.

It wasn't awful. Wasn't that great, either.

Just a list I found about other Alien rip-offs whilst looking at Lily CAT stuff.
QuoteTobe Hooper's Lifeforce is mostly remembered for showing actress Mathilda May naked in almost every scene, but it's also a big, sloppy, wonderful clusterf**k of a film. The ending has bat-monsters turning London into a huge zombie riot of exploding buildings while May and the film's hero have hateful vampire sex inside a giant spaceship's tractor beam. Let's see Twilight top that.

Burke was alive in ALIENS?
