The first two movies are the regular big budget movies worth buying.... the next two are small budget... just sharing the name of the franchise....

Would not recommend the series..... A purchase i repent...

This set comes in a flimsy slipcase with nice artwork and contains four standard-size Amaray DVD cases. The discs I received were shoddily made and sloppily handled. Two of them were riddled with fingerprints and one (Species II) had multiple scratches. Back they went, and the replacement set fared minimally better: though unscratched, one disc (Species II, again) had smudges and two others had cloudy swirls between the polycarbonate layers. Though playback may not be affected, these flaws aren't acceptable.

As for the films, they vary in quality:

Species: Engaging, suspenseful film with top-notch special effects. The 2.35:1 picture is sharp, with solid blacks and very good contrast. The extras are largely forgettable.

Species II: Inferior to its forerunner in every way.

Species III: Enjoyable for the most part, decent story line, crisp picture. There are some nicely shot nude scenes, especially the one with brunette hottie Amelia Cooke sauntering down a hallway in her birthday suit.

Species IV: This final release has a razor-sharp 1.78:1 picture but little else to offer: hardly any action and scant nudity. Nevertheless, it manages to be mildly entertaining, mostly because of Helena Mattson's and Marlene Favela's solid acting and good looks.

In sum, this set is worthwhile only for the sci-fi completist who can get it at a bargain price from a seller with a good return policy (like Amazon), should the discs arrive marred. For everyone else, only Species I and III are worth watching, making this four-movie collection superfluous.

I got this four disc collection at Kmart, $16.00. All disc's were in perfect condition. The original episode is definitely the best, but isn't that how it usually goes. However, I still found 2, 3 and 4 entertaining. The storylines are basically the same, with slightly different scenario's. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a movie, for me, these are kickback and enjoy, without to pay to much attention. The ladies are grade A eye candy, nice looking, great bodies, and nicely breasted. I enjoy a movie with naked ladies, and there is just enough nudity to keep one interested, without it being overdone. Sometime's it's nice to get a movie that you don't have to analyse ever part of it to enjoy it. Easy watching, I'm glad I bought it.
