Beware...Though there are some high points.
9 June 2001 | by (Kearney, Nebraska, US) – See all my reviews

By no means anyone's definition of a good movie, Habitat does manage to put forth a few moments that make it worth sitting through...though only once. It has a pretty unoriginal plot involving a "mad" scientist's attempts to "kick evolution in the butt," though in a movie like this plot doesn't really mean anything. There a few special effects that are laughable, but on the other hand there are some that are quite good. Overall the performances are as bad as the rest of the movie, though Laura Harris shines as Deborah, the girlfriend of Balthazar Getty's character--and I'll admit, her nude scene is pretty swell. Overall, don't bother with this movie unless you are a rabid Laura Harris fan.
