Species (1995)


Charles Darwin 200nd birthday was celebrated last week. His concept of evolution is still regarded as the "base" book for the study of evolution. The humans consider themselves as the ''last product" of the god??? creation. In the name of genome project , human tinkering with natural science creates chaos which really affects the mankind.

The film species(1995) speaks about human involvement in creating a race which is otherwise known as "superhuman". Enough studies have shown that once the genie comes out of a bottle it will be a difficult task to "bottle" it again. A new specie is created between a human DNA and a sample DNA from the space. The new hybrid grows rapidly . A new "woman" is created out of this experiment which goes out of the laboratory and creates a lot of trouble to track it down.

The blond played by Natasha Henstridge whose main task it to watch any activity of human with a curiosity. As she watches children around her . A desire is created to multiply the "race" on earth. In order to accomplish the task she is on a mission to find out disease -free Man because she is very choosy in selecting her partner and she doesn't want a race with diseases .

A team is formed to curb her . Interestingly, she came into contact with
one of the members of the crack down team. As soon as her "mission" got over she kills her partner with whom she had relationship and multiples her race. Fortunately, every baby gets killed ???by the crack down team and they saved the human race from the extinction.

I was impressed by the Forest Whitaker role. Each time he came close to the blond the team miss her by a whisker. Ultimately, his ESP came in handy to track down her.
