Alien and the Flying Nun have a baby

If you're gonna watch schlock, make sure it's got a hottie or two and a large tub of goo. CGI is remedial but better than the Alien franchises 3rd and 4th installments. Plot obviously rehashed wherein the protagonist isn't aware of the bug under her rug so to speak but acting all around is decent.The only way for Miranda to go on, is to do what sexy bugs from space do, and that is invade what we got and snatch it like most aliens are want to do.The film has a new take on chest bursting, that is if you consider Miranda's heaving bosom taught and riddled with curdling blue veins.Ironically most of the aliens are found in Mexico where they get off on what they call "harvesting." Tentacles and boobs gone wild.Like her lab daddy says halfway through, "I'm truly sorry." Nuff said.

Species The Awakening: Probably best it ended here

I didn't mind the original Species movie, I loved Gigers influence and it had a cast that enabled it to really stand out from other similar sci-fi movies at the time.The second was passable affair and followed on nicely, but it already felt a bit like it was treading water.The third starred the excellent Robert Knepper and though just about watchable really come across as a cash grab.Alas with the fourth here the "Feel" of cash grab isn't a feeling anymore, it's very blatant. Straight to DVD nonsense with enough of a budget (Ish) to pull off the sfx but delivers very little else.Starring veteran actor Ben Cross it's another erotic sci-fi outing that sadly brings little to the Species lore, delivers a rather underwhelming and rather rushed story and is decidedly average at its best.Maybe Species should have stopped at the first movie, some films just don't need to become a franchise and this is a great example.Should Species be rebooted? Absolutely not as the first movie delivered, want your Species fix go watch that.The Good:SFX are good for a straight to DVD sequelThe Bad:"Alien" cutaways are a tad pointlessBrings nothing to the franchiseFeels rushed
