Species could have been really amazing. The first half hour is great. The creature design is excellent. The CGI is bad. Natasha Henstridge is surprisingly good. Forest Whitaker is his usual great self. Everyone else is wooden. The pacing is clumsy. The finale is abysmal. In the end it’s more shit than shine, but has a few moments that will please sci-fi/horror fans.

Yeah, what was up with Ben Kingsley in this? He was a mumbling mannequin. At the start it seemed like Madsen would be fun but he felt miscast. More of a slacker than a tracker. Molina did almost nothing except provide some.. well you know.
And I almost wish there was a film all about Whitaker's character. Just a real strange mix of people to track a dangerous alien.
I agree. Forest was definitely the most interesting member of the team.
He’s a great actor. Have you watched The Last King of Scotland? He really shines in it.
You’ve rekindled my interest. I might seek out part 2 someday.
