Species

Under characterised captain of industry Fitch (Ben Kingsley) has raised a human/alien hybrid via extraterrestrial DNA, received on a CD radio, or something. Teetering on puberty, she breaks out of his lab, boards a train, begins mutating, enters a squidgy cocoon, transforms therein from Michele Williams to Natasha Henstridge, loses her clothes, learns our human ways and is overcome by the urge to breed. And kill. It's a close run thing as to which she prefers, but can't a girl have two hobbies?

A team is assembled by Fitch to track the escapee Sil, down - action man, girl boffin, boy boffin and crap empath. Things happen, but I'm not going to spoil it, as you may never have seen a movie, or TV show, in your life.

The acting is fine, the effects are decent, but this is very much post-Alien sci-fi by numbers, right down to Sil creature designer HR Giger - predictability thy name is Species.

There's no reason to watch this other than to laugh at Sil's "fashions". If you want suspense, try to guess how soon you'll fall asleep.
