Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
There's a kind of perverse marketing genius at work in this cheesy sci-fi hit from 1995 in which scientists create a half-human, half-alien woman named Sil (Natasha Henstridge) who's capable of morphing from a slimy, tentacled creature into a blonde babe with the body of a Playboy centerfold. This makes it easy for Sil to lure gullible guys who are only too willing to indulge her voracious mating urge, realizing too late that sex with Sil is anything but safe. As the body count rises, a handpicked team of specialists tracks the alien's killing spree, but their diverse expertise is barely a match for the ever-morphing Sil. Borrowing elements of the Alien movies (including bizarre alien designs by Swedish artist H.R. Giger) and spicing them up with some tantalizing nudity, Species is a wet dream for creature-feature fans--kind of like watching a sci-fi vampire fantasy while browsing through the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - HORRIBLE
What a horrible, horrible movie. Shows like a terrible, low budget, "made for TV" movie. Bad acting, bad script, ridiculous special effects... this is one crummy movie. Sorry I wasted precious minutes of my life watching this garbage.
Rating:  - perfect
came faster than expected. in mint condition. would order from this seller again.
Rating: - better new?
Perhaps if I had seen this when it first came out, I might have rated it higher, but I doubt it. I agree with others - with the cast including Kingsley, how could it be this bad? And they came out with Species II????? Phew!!
Rating: - SEX IN L.A. JUST GOT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IN THIS LAUGH-A-MINUTE ALIEN RIP-OFF
Just when you thought it was safe to skinny-dip with a semen-hungry supermodel, along comes SPECIES to warn you that at any moment she might grow horns on her back and rip you up like a parking ticket.
This blech-gak-ptooey sci-fi thriller is in fact mostly ptooey - sillier than it is frightening. The movie puts the definitive '90s twist on the old alien-is-loose scenario: she's a six-foot blonde goddess, and all she wants to do is copulate. If you decided to pass on this load of goosey ...

Rating:  - Bad PQ
This release suffers from bad PQ as it is only slightly better than the dvd release. Very disappointing for a blu-ray release. In fact, the PQ is the worst in my 30+ BD collection.
