It was a good idea, but Aliens did it and did it
three-hundred times better, and Aliens has continued to do
it in a way that the idea is now their right. And on Species
2: Aliens did that, too.

I think it's disgusting. I read somewhere that Hollywood
likes to produce movies that are meant to make men
frightened of women. Which would be just fine, if those
women were depicted as being on the side of good and
upholding the law. Since movies like this smut depict the
woman protagonist in the role of a villianess, I'd say it's
more likely that Hollywood is trying to villify women, and
even to take -gasp!- an anti-pregnancy stance. Not that it
really surprises me though, they've done that many, many
times before, and I don't expect them to ever stop. Movies
like this also give sex a bad name. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised if this movie had also been made in order to try
to encourage women to become savages and act inhumanely. If
so, then well, how DARE they! While I'm at it, let me also
tell about the sequel, in which a politician's astronaut
son is infected with a space virus similar to the chemicals
that the scientists in the first film used to make
Henstrige's half-alien, half-human Sil. So soon he too
becomes half alien, and whenever he has sex with females,
he impregnates them almost instantly(mainly, and most
obscenely, by raping them), and most certainly
fatally(ugh!). So for fear that this would make him even
more of a threat than the man who claimed he "did not have
sex with that woman", a manhunt is soon begun in order to
try and stop him. Unfortunately, it is not before we get
bombarded with a lot of disgustingly gory scenes of alien
children terminating their mothers when bursting out of
their stomachs Alien-style. Meanwhile, back at the lab, the
peabrains clone another clone of Henstrige, apparently in
order for the atrocious George Dzundza to abuse by bashing
her several times with weapons in order to see how well she
can withstand them. In the first film, you pity Henstrige
because she's playing a villianess, here, you pity her
because she's getting assaulted by Dzundza. You also pity
Lazard's victims. All in all, it's truly ludicrous and
distasteful, and noone with sense should have to waste
their time on such disgusting vomit. Keep away!
