Trivia:

The producers wanted to go back to H.R. Giger's designs of the alien creature due to popularity with fans and the absence of this decision in Species III (2004) (V). The original look is apparent but with different color variations and new spikes on the aliens' wrists of the nemesis. It is also a first in the series that a half human-half alien character does not change fully into the alien creature but has prosthetic eyebrows, veins and contacts for a long period of time in more than one scene.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Miranda is 'born' the second time and she gets up after rolling on the floor you can clearly see she is wearing skin-colored underwear to cover herself below the waist.

Quotes:

Miranda Hollander: For their punishment Zeus gave them women.

what a waste of 90 minutes

it was a pity that IMDb didn't have the ability to rate movies as 0 because that is exactly what i would have given it. however, i have had to give it 1 out of 10, but i mean 0......

plot was very poor, movie was too confusing and the poor plot didn't make me feel a connection, like or dislike anyone in the movie.

seemed like random things happening with no explanation or leading up to any event in particular.

acting was a bit wooden, and the accent from Dominic Keating was probably the most entertaining of any of the script.

please avoid this movie, as you can never get the 90 minutes of your life back that you waste on this.
