Review of Species (1995) by James Berardinelli for ReelViews — 13 Sep 1997
Director Roger Donaldson has a lot of fun with his premise. The top-notch special effects, which use a lot of seamless computer animation, make the climax look very nice. The rest of the film is essentially one long chase sequence with a couple of nude scenes and maulings added to liven up the proceedings.
No matter what genre you identify Species as, it's not top of the line, but there's also quite a bit of room beneath it.
