SPECIES 2 |
| Here is what is wrong with this film. Unlike Lost in Space, which has an incomprehensible plot, Species 2 has a script which could never be called a “plot”. It is indeed comprehensible but in no way believable, having more holes in it than a very very large colander with hundreds of tiny tiny holes. The script has obviously been hacked about and changed so often that sub-plots started in one place never resurface or get resolved in another place. When faced with any choice the characters in the movie always choose the one most likely to get them killed. The gore factor is high and almost never justified. Female nudity is often and almost never justified. In its favour it can be said that the creature effects are not bad though rather dark to hide the wires and H.R. Geiger has not yet asked to have his name removed from the titles. In short, unless you are Barry Norman, a critic with a broadsheet newspaper, a stickler for plots, logicality, quality and sanity like the Cheshire Cat then you are bound to enjoy this film. Mind you, I do have a reputation for liking really bad movies so don’t blame me if you don’t like it. The problem lies with you and the management refuses to accept liability for your existence. |
