Species - etoven - 11th August 2009 So what the hell is up with the really unbelievable plot in this movie? According to IMDB, the government receives an alien transmission utilizing the SETI radio transceivers containing a DNA sequence listing for alien DNA and instructions to combine it with human DNA. So let me systematically break down all the horribly unbelievably things wrong with the plot of this story. Where the hell did the government get the actual stand of DNA? Because all they received is an blueprint of a strand of DNA not the actual strand. So how the hell are they going to make an alien human hybrid without the actual DNA? It's not set in the future.. There are no replicators, so what the hell did the human 'Sil' combine with? Information? A fucking printout of the actual thing? Right from the get go this makes no since. And if they did have a machine do they really expect me to believe that some aliens DNA would be made of up Deoxyribonucleic acid? And alien DNA would have the same coding for all species in the known universe. The very best they could hope for is that they would replicate this stand of alien DNA using Deoxyribonucleic acid with human coding and the fucking thing would die. Best case... Finally, why the hell would we even do this in the first place. It's like someone in Japan sending you an email instructing you to fuck your mother and then kill her. And you do it without question because you respect the intelligence of the Japanese people. It just makes no sense, I'm mean they must have been really fucking board on a Sunday afternoon to even try something like this. The whole movie was clearly a prime example of a hot girl flashing her titties to distract the audience from all the really shitty story telling. Species - Weltall - 12th August 2009 Or, that any extraterrestrial advanced intelligence would know anything about human DNA. Or that the very first radio signal we'd ever discover of any such civilization would contain a message specifically for us, since we would have, before that point, found much radio transmission from the same source before they ever got around to firing anything specifically at us. Add to all that the remarkable unlikelihood that any advanced, radio-transmitting civilization has ever existed within a billion light years of us, and yeah, you have an impossible movie. Of course, it means that any movie featuring alien visitors is equally unlikely.
