Average customer review:Product Description
Having just returned from a mission to Mars, Commander Ross (Justin Lazard) isn't exactly himself. He's slowly becoming a terrifying alien entity with a one track mindto procreate with human women! When countless women suffer gruesome deaths after bearing half-alien offspring, scientist Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger) and hired assassin Press Lennox (Michael Madsen) use Eve (Henstridge), a more tempered alien clone, to find Ross and his virulent brood. But they underestimate Eve's maternal drive, and before long she escapes to mate with Ross in order to create a purer and unstoppable race that could spell doom for mankind. As time is running out, the ultimate battle of human brain over alien brawn takes place in a chilling climax that puts Darwin's theory to the ultimate test and only the strongest species will survive.

Customer Reviews
Worst Movie Ever?...not really but it's pretty close
This sequel to the 1995 smash hit species doesn't even come 1 inch close to its predecessor. The original is no masterpiece but this sequel becomes one cheesy parody of itself. Both Natasha Henstridge and Michael Madsen reprise their roles form the previous entry; but somehow it feels they just came for the paycheck. The acting is bad, and so is the dialog. The movie starts out pretty good with a mission to mars gone bad. But along the way it becomes so ridiculously stupid that the only way it can be enjoyed is to take it as a comedy. the only good thing this movie has to offer is the special-effects, which are pretty convincing but other than that this is just one major disappointment. Some people claim this is the worst movie ever... Well trust me there are much worse movies out there. Just watch uwe bowle or ulli llomel's films (if they can be called films) and you will se what bad really is. Anyhow this is a bad movie but can be enjoyed as a parody.
MY PERSONAL RATING 1 ½ OUT OF 5
The movie director must have had some bad days.
My guess is, that the director has said, right before he started the movie; "Okay we have a okay budget, access to some.. sometimes okay special effects and some okay good actresses, but you have to do your job just as bad as the story is and if you have anything clever to say about making the movie good, then please leave".
I just don't get it! It would be so easy to make a good movie out of it! Well first of all, you probably have to a get little different version of the story and another movie director...but it would be so easy!
Just a thing like this! Eve want's to escape, so she jumps through the prison window. Okay Miss Eve is well powerfull, but she doesn't have to be, because it isn't made of bullet-proof Plexiglas. Nope, it explodes in thousands like very thin glass. Noooo it can be glass because they can't be so naïve in military security. But bullet-proof glass doesn't explode, so it must be a bad movie director!
Good cheese
One night, while flipping through the channels I came across this movie. I had no idea what it was. Aliens were popping out of people's stomachs, but all the characters approached the threat as if it were a big joke. Honestly, I thought it was a comedy until the commercial came on and revealed that it was Species II.
From the special effects, you can tell a lot of work went into it, but it comes across more as a comedy. None of the actors are serious. Overall, the entire movie is pretty cheesy. But it's good cheese. If you're looking for hot girls, lots of killing, and a bit of comedy- then I'd say watch this movie. It's a b-movie, but a good one at those standards.
