Species (1995)

Michelle Williams is an alien-human hybrid created in a lab from which she escapes after the scientists there attempt to euthanize her. It’s not long before she’s grown up to be Natasha Henstridge and is searching for a suitable man to mate with. The film tries to be a version of Aliens where someone has tried to merge the alien DNA with a human and it comes nowhere near the quality of any of that series of films. The cast, mostly as scientists tasked to hunt down Henstridge, is incredibly stacked but wasted. Forest Whitaker is appealing, but given the thankless role of being an ’empath’. Sir Ben Kingsley, as the leader of the expedition, is probably his most mentally inept character ever. The special effects, even for the time, are awful. Even if you can see the genius of Giger’s design for the alien part of Henstridge’s character, it has been completely wasted and cheapened in this film. There are a lot of naked breasts in this film, for those who are interested in that in their films.
