Species Blu-ray Review

The two reviews I've read don't exactly make it sound like a great disc but is it worth owning for someone who loves the film itself? Am I going to notice an upgrade with this BD over the DVD version?

According to the one review by Home Theater there is an improvement and with a little tweaking of the tv it can look quite good. If you don't already own it on dvd then why not go for it. I was tempted to get it myself but what do I do with my dvd copy.

Its by far reference material.... Soft and "B" looking. But if you like the movie get it!!!! Plus I'll take Natasha over your girl Kate anyday....
I responded to one of your post on "another forum"... It was in regards to Kate in a movie called "Haunted". Did you see it???? The movie sucks, but if your a fan of hers than I highly recommend it!!!!

heheheh. Think it's the nearest we have to Blu Ray pr0n.

I read the Species Blu-Ray wasnt all that great.. and there's this 2-disc Collector's edition coming up on DVD.. So I was wondering if there was any news on that Collector's Edition (on Blu).. Should I stick with my old DVD and wait lol ?

Viiincent · 09-23-2007, 08:50 PM

oh great! thanks everyone lol.

Gamma_Winstead · 09-23-2007, 08:52 PM

Nope nothing on a special release of Species so far.

Viiincent · 09-23-2007, 08:56 PM

sooo........... should i buy the blu-ray..? Cause its like 40$ in Canada lol.

simcal · 09-23-2007, 08:56 PM

well considering i got it from frys when the had one of there $13.99 specials I am more than happy with it.
It is a great step up from the dvd which I used to own. Its not the most greatest Blu-ray ever but I have seen far worse.
If you like the movie then go for it.

Viiincent · 09-23-2007, 09:40 PM

i love the movie..! and i bought the DVD like 10 years ago. It was the first release so it doesnt look so good lol. I guess I'll pick it up. thanks

Are you another Canadian that doesn't realize you can order from Amazon.com?

The price for Species is $14.95. You save $25-$30 even with shipping, and there's no duty fees from my experience.

Viiincent · 09-24-2007, 04:44 AM

i knowww. and actually it already is in my shopping cart on amazon.com lol.. but i'm looking for other savings from Amazon Usa ..does anyone know what other movies are low priced ??

Species was one of my 5 freebies and I have yet to open it. I have seen most of the first movie on TV and consider it pretty good. I am not one to keep anything with gratuitous nudity, but "incidental" is ok.

Is it worth keeping and getting the sequel, or would I just end up calling them "Feces", and "Feces: The Real Number 2"

I think you can answer this one yourself. The question is: do you like the movie? If your answer is yes then keep it, if no then don’t.

Well, I thought the TV version was good. But TV is going to edit out nudity. I need the feedback of anyone who has seen the whole thing. I don't want to open it if there is a chance of it being gifted, or exchanged.

That's funny, I haven't opened my "Species" freebie either. It seems to be the Akilies heel of the free Blu-ray movies. You can buy them starting for $10 on the Amazon marketplace.

xwingsct · 12-10-2007, 04:31 PM

Every time there's a free give away "Species" is also on the list. I remember when DVD first introduced. It was the same way. I think my brother got that when he bought his first DVD player.

jetydosa · 12-10-2007, 05:56 PM

I think it is a good movie, although I consider myself a Natasha Henstridge fan (nudity being a good thing). I find it enjoyable on its on, however I dont think anyone will confuse it with say, a LOTR calibre movie! I have it coming in my freebies and I will definitely keep it.

jkcheng122 · 12-10-2007, 06:06 PM

if you have a problem with sex/nudity in films, dont keep it. there's quite a bit of it in the disc version. considering her goal in the story is to mate in order to produce an offspring, i dunno if it should be considered gratuitous.
