Profile of Evolution

The mood of Evolution is humorous, witty, and stylized. The plot centers around evil aliens, dangerous animals, and antiheroes. It features screwball humor and silly humor. Evolution is a comedy and sci-fi movie. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. The pacing is fast. Evolution takes place, at least partly, in the desert. The setting is Arizona. It happens in contemporary times. Visually, Evolution involves digital video effects and involves special effects. It is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night.

Summary of Evolution

Director Ivan Reitman (GHOSTBUSTERS, STRIPES, DAVE) turns from ghosts to aliens in this comedy starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, and Julianne Moore. When a meteor crashes into the Arizona desert, local community college professors Ira Kane (Duchovny) and Harry Block (Jones) are shocked to discover that it has introduced rapidly evolving aliens to Earth. Although the professors try to keep their discovery a secret, the U.S. military takes over the investigation, sealing off the fantastic creatures and the environment that the aliens have established. But when aliens start popping up on nearby golf courses and in the local mall, it's up to Kane and Block to save the world. With a little help from Allison Reed (Julianne Moore), a clumsy scientist with the Center for Disease Control, and Wayne Green (Seann William Scott), a dim-witted country club pool manager and fireman-wannabe, the two professors devise a plan using an unlikely weapon to kill the alien population before it wipes out the human race. Fittingly, former Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd appears as the governor of Arizona.

A consistently amusing action romp. Full Review

Instead of scoring belly laughs, there's a run on randy guy banter between Duchovny and Jones. Full Review

funny

I saw it just because of Duchovny and I'm glad I did... This film is hilarious. Julianne Moore is great and Orlando Jones is very funny... the creatures in this film are fantastic and weird. it's humorous and witty, good for everyone. Read and rate it

Not the best of this genre

it was supposed to be some kind of a cult stuff, but made in a boring and not really funny way. even David Duchovny couldn't lift it up. Evolution is nice and okay for time-passing, just don't expect something like Mars Attacks! or Men In Black. Read and rate it
