Storyline

While being transported in a military ambulance and supposed dead, Eve delivers an offspring and is killed by a half-breed. The baby girl is abducted by Dr. Abbot, and a couple of days later she grows up, reaching adulthood and becoming a gorgeous young woman called Sara. Dr. Abbot expects to develop a perfect DNA using Sara's eggs and win the Nobel Prize, and invites the student Dean to be his assistant and share his research and future awards. But while Sara unsuccessfully chases a perfect mate for her to generate a perfect being, the flawed half-breeds led by Amelia try to reproduce with her to survive their species.

Trivia

A scene which was changed due to budgetary reasons had Sara scratch a campus student's cheek with her alien finger, which looked like a spike. Instead, this was changed to Sara throwing the man over her into a hedge in the final film.

User Reviews

It is Sunny Mabrey That Makes This A Great Watch

I loved the first two Species films,and was kind of disappointed to know that Natasha Henstridge would not be playing the female lead in this,the third instalment of the series.My doubts vanished immediately after seeing Sunny Mabrey as Sara. Sara is Eve's daughter ,brought up by scientist Dr.Abbot in his home.As nature will have it,she breaks free from his shackles and the ensuing bloodshed and gore makes for a very entertaining sci-fi movie,though it is a trifle low-key as far as special effects are concerned . Still,I believe that without a strong lead character,films like these look either like second-rate porn,or plain ridiculous.Sunny Mabrey as Sara makes sure that neither of that happens. She is gorgeous,and has the looks to make you believe that she is really Eve's offspring. Though I noticed her lack of histrionic skills, I could not help but be taken in by her strong on-screen presence. Robin Dunne as Dean fails to impress,and Robert Knepper as Dr.Abbot isn't too good either. It is Mabrey's presence that makes the film a treat.
