1270.0. "Species" by SWAM1::MEUSE_DA () Tue May 09 1995 16:02

    
    
    
    
    This movie hits the theaters soon.
    Last night, during that Virus made for tv flick they showed a brief
    ad. Same guy that did the F/X for ALien is involved in this one too.
    
    I got this feeling it made be one heck of a film.

    Yeah, the ad did look interesting.  And "Virus" really stunk, huh?
1270.2......SWAM1::MEUSE_DATue May 09 1995 18:105
    
    Virus....they sure hyped it. But it was a real dud.

re: .-several

The plot sure sounded familar... A few years back I think there was a Columbo
or some such where guests at a hotel/resort were dropping like flies,
supposedly to a naturally occuring bug.
1270.4previews are very goodSWAM1::MEUSE_DAFri May 26 1995 17:0717
    
    Read on the net that some critics have seen the rough cut of this
    film. Lots of people squirming in their seats, fidgeting and
    screaming. It's an "Alien" genre movie, but not cheesy like
    so many have been in the past few years. 
    
    Lots of positve comments and it may be a big film for the summer.
    
    It may have the impact of the original Alien when it was first 
    shown.
    
    Looking forward to it.

1270.5Trying to make contact. "Anybody out here?"POLAR::BOISJOLYThu Oct 12 1995 01:3520
    
    
    
    	It as been more then four months that the movies came out in the
    cinema and nobody wrote any comments on the movie so I'll try to revive
    the subject a little.
    
    	I have seen the movie and I think if anybody didn't see it on the
    big screen that they should run to their local video store as soon as
    it's there.  I beleive that it a must see film.  The only scene that I
    didn't like was the escape at the beginning which was poor in details 
    (Probably because it would have been impossible to escape otherwise)
    but from then on it intrigue and action packed.
    
    	Much better than Alien III, I recommend it to every SF-HORROR fan.

1270.6Huh? *good*?NEMAIL::CARROLLJEven a clown knows when to strikeWed Oct 25 1995 19:1619
    re -.1
    
    	Marc...
    
    	'much better than Alien 3'?  talk about damning with faint
    praise...
    
    	I'd have to disagree with you - I thought this was one of the
    worst movies I'd seen in a *long* time.  And I'm a big fan of Giger's
    work.  If it weren't for the lousy plot, cheesy writing and horrible
    acting they might've had a movie there....
    
    	The alien was rather striking ( both as a blonde and an alien :-) )
    that was the only appealing part of the movie for me - the alien looked
    cool, period.
    
    	Ugh - go rent Aliens again, instead...
