A response to a SETI message provides a formula for a clean burning fuel, as well as instructions on how to combine alien and human DNA. The government co opts SETI, and a secret team lead by Ben Kingsley follow the recipe they are provided and produce a being who quickly escapes, transforms into the gorgeous Natasha Henstridge and sets out to find a mate and begin repopulating our planet with hybrids. Kingsley leads a team consisting of scientists Alfred Molina and Marg Helgenberger, government assasian Micheal Madsen and empath Forest Whitaker, as they tract the alien from a Utah lab to the streets of LA, with the survival of mankind potentially at stake.
I was surprised how decent this was and how much I enjoyed it. Make no mistake this is very much a B movie of both the sci-fi and explotation varity. Despite fairly two deminsonal characters the film choses to play it straight and works because of that. **1/2
