Editorial Review:
Mankind's number is up in this thrilling third installment of the Species franchise! Featuring eye-popping special effects, knuckle-whitening suspense and the dazzling performance of sexy newcomer Sunny Mabrey, Species III is the most jarring, action-packed chapter in the sci-fi series yet! In the ongoing fight for supremacy between mankind and human-alien hybrids, a fatal hybrid weakness has given humans the advantage. Until now. When Sara (Mabrey), the daughter of Eve (Natasha Henstridge), is born, she develops into the most genetically perfect alien form yet! Seeking to repopulate the earth with her kind, this dangerously beautiful femme fatale heeds an overwhelming drive to mate while a crack military team trails her in an attempt to end the war between the two species forever!
Description of Species III (Unrated Edition):
If Species 3 lacks the star power of its previous incarnations – mostly notably Natasha Henstridge, whose participation here is relegated to a cameo – the movie succeeds in delivering lean, mean B-movie thrills by paring down the franchise's premise to its most exploitable elements – copious nudity and gore. Henstridge's voracious alien/human hybrid Eve dies gruesomely in the film's opening moments, but not before giving birth to an infant, who is rescued by a college professor (Robert Knepper) and grows into the pulchritudinous form of Sunny Mabrey. Unfortunately, she proves to be her mother's daughter in every way by setting out to mate with--and kill--any male unlucky enough to cross her path. While a definite step down in terms of plot and performance quality, Species 3 has glimpses of atmosphere and suspense in addition to the blood and skin shows, and makes good use of H.R. Giger's unsettlingly sensuous creature design, which should please franchise fans, gore hounds, and omnivorous sci-fi viewers. --Paul Gaita
Species III (Unrated Edition) Reviews:
Good Sci-Fi Movie 
2008-10-02 - I like Sci-Fi movies & this is one of my favorite. I own the entire collection. The graphics are excellent quality & I got it right away from Amazon.
A Slight Improvement Over Species 2.... but it's still garbage 
2007-12-16 - You know something is wrong with a movie when it's not released theatrically. And that it is exactly the case here. Species III was released in the Sci-Fi Channel in 2004 and shortly afterwards on DVD. Here in this 2nd sequel in the Species franchise we find another seductive alien on the loose only this time it is not played by Natasha Henstridge. The movie begins exactly where the last one left of, with Eve's body being loaded into the military truck, later on we find her giving birth to a pure breed Alien. The alien is taken by a scientist who for some unexplained reason is doing research on her species. Anyway just to give an insight this movie gives us a slight improvement over the previous entry... but its still garbage. The movie suffers from a lot especially bad lighting, which becomes excruciating after awhile. The acting is okay but the dialog is a bit confusing and sometimes for no real reason. The movie also has some minimal plot holes, such as half breeds still being alive after the 2nd picture (they were all killed supposedly in the barn in Specie II) and at times it suffers from poor character development, but other than that it can still be enjoyed as a comedy... because to me that's what this series really is... just on big cheesy sci-fi mess. Rent it or just watch it on the Sci-Fi channel when they air it.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 1 ½ OUT OF 5
Not bad 
2007-11-08 - Considering it was a Sci-Fi channel movie that went right to DVD, it was good. Based off the 1st and 2nd film, it was horrible. This is a good movie to watch when you do not want to think and are rather tired and might fall asleep. Hot woman in it. (Parents - there is a great deal of nudity so be aware if watching with children.)
it was OK, nothing all that special
2007-08-13 - Despite some of the =other= reviews i've read on this movie, i wasn't all that "thrilled" with this movie. Esp because of it being the "unrated" edition, for those of us seeking a cheap thrill, it was far more of a tease than anything particularly hot or erotic in terms of what it delivered, IMO. It could have been done SO MUCH BETTER than the final result. O well...you pays your money, you takes your chances.
best one yet.
2007-06-25 - species 3 is the best in the series. sexy and exciting and with a great story. cant wait for number 4.
