action
The mutant Eve - half alien, half human - is dying. The scientist Dr. Abbot tries to kidnap her in a military car. His co-driver soon sees through the matter and wants Dr. Move Abbot to stop. He tries to inform the military, but Abbot threatens him with a gun. Suddenly the passenger is pierced by a long alien tongue. Abbot discovers a boyish alien hybrid in the car and also finds out that Eve is in labor. While Eve gives birth to a child, she is strangled by the boy with his alien tongue. Abbot escapes with the newborn.
A little later, Abbot continues his research at the university. One of his pupils is the highly gifted biochemistry student Dean. Eve's child, Sara, has now grown up. She is a quick learner, and Abbot finds that she is becoming more and more powerful. At the university, Abbot is surprised by the boyish alien hybrid. The mutant's immune system is weak, and the mutant dies soon after. To get the body away, Abbot tells Dean.
Meanwhile, Sara has gone through another stage of development and is slipping out of her cocoon as a woman . Faculty director Dr. Turner finds her naked in Abbot's apartment. Sara initially wants to mate with Turner, but then realizes that he is out of the question as a partner for her. Turner presses her hard, and Sara kills him on an instinctive reflex. Shortly thereafter, Abbot and Dean arrive with the alien mixed breed corpse, but Sara has disappeared. She is out and about in the city and takes a ride home there. However, she jumps out of the car on the way to chase a train in which a suitable mutant partner is sitting for her. She loses her arm in a fall - it grows back within seconds.
After this failure, Sara returns home. Abbot secretly takes an egg cell with which he wants to create a new, perfect breed. Sara later meets the partner mutant in a hotel, but she rejects him because he is terminally ill. He secretly follows her home. Abbot is doing some tests on her here. Dean draws her blood and Sara begins to have feelings for him. Shortly thereafter, the mutant breaks into Abbot's laboratory and tries to mate with Sara. Things spiral out of control and Abbot tries to gas kill them both. Dean stands up for Sara in a fight, and the mutant kills Abbot just before succumbing to his illness.
Sara offers Dean sex if he creates a partner for her, but Dean refuses. Instead, he returns to his student apartment. His roommate, Hastings, is kidnapped by another mutant, Amelia. She tries to force him to fertilize Sara's egg. The two and Sara are back in Abbot's apartment. While searching for them, Dean meets government employee Lexton, with whom he works from then on. You want to prevent the mutants from multiplying further. Lexton also wants to eliminate Sara and Amelia. Dean and Lexton throw a gas mixture into the apartment and take control of the egg. You're going to a fusion power plant. Dean can start up the reactor with Turner's identification card. Sara and Amelia followed them and are also after the egg. This is destroyed in the reactor, Amelia falls to her death, Sara falls with her into the depths.
Three weeks later, Hastings finds an alien boy in Abbot's apartment. Hastings escapes and first meets Sara outside and Dean in the basement laboratory. Dean has faked Sara's death in order to create a partner for Sara in peace. At the end of the film, Sara walks into the future with the now adult alien boy. Dean whispers to Hastings, who has concerns about the future of humanity, that Sara's partner is not fertile.
Reviews
The critics' opinions of the film are mostly negative. For example, David Nusair from Reel Film Reviews notes that the film is “incredibly dull” and that there is “plenty of boring dialogues”. John J. Puccio of DVDTown.com also noticed a lack of creativity. Species III is only for "sworn fans of the series", but even they would be disappointed: "Nothing new, nothing original, nothing innovative that enhances the recipe of the film." In addition to the criticisms, the film would meet its target, says Scott DVDTalk.com's Weinberg: "This is certainly not what you would call a good movie, but Species III does its job."
"Second offshoot of the horror film of the same name, produced for video evaluation, which only reproduces the usual images and effects."
