Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Campy. But in a 90s way. Not intentionally so, but the stink of the 90s all over it. We looked it up. After 9/11? Uncomfortably close. Duchovny is not mulder, but he is. Plot doesn't matter. Creature movies are good. Scifi movies, where the scary thing is an oversimplification of one reasonably interesting scientific concept, are good. What if the monster kept evolving? Became a microcosm of evolutionary process. That movie needed to be made. It probably already had been.Is it a comedy? Well, yes. It is comedic. But it's like some characters are in a different movie than others. Like a slapstick and a procedural, side by side. Uneasy balance. The mood shifts.Essentially a demo reel for what range of bio monsters you could make with CGI in the early aughts. Looks like a video game, now. This movie tries some weird things, at least. It's pretty dumb, though.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this movie until now.it' stars Stars Orlando Jones and David Duchovny as two professors/colleagues who stumble onto something out of this world.i won't give any more of the plot away than that.you'll have to see it for yourself.it's played for laughs and it comes by those laughs honestly.it's very funny.there are some hysterically funny scenes.but it's not just a comedy.it's also a sci/fi/adventure film.Julianne Moore, Ted Levine and Sean William Scott also star and are very good here.the wring is very good here with some great dialogue.of course this is just my opinion.for me,Evolution is a well deserved 8/10

Every time I watch Evolution after a year or two of not viewing it I expect the film not to hold up. Thankfully I'm wrong about this and find myself laughing throughout the movie. That's not to say that this film ranks top tier in comedies of all time, but it definitely lodges itself as a guilty pleasure comedic flick. The story is about Ira (David Duchovny) and Harry (Orlando Jones), two community college professors, who are the first to investigate a meteor that crashed to Earth. The meteor brings with it basic alien life forms. Wayne (Seann William Scott), a want to be firefighter who discovered the meteor, and Allison (Juilianne Moore), a klutzy government scientist, join Ira and Harry to combat the alien organisms that have been rapidly evolving since their arrival on Earth.It is a simple script with not many twists or turns, but the thing that gets me every time is the chemistry between the actors. Duchovny, Jones, and Moore are the heavy weights in this film and they bring great skill to the table. Wile it is a straight forward film with not a lot of surprises the one thing that you can depend on is great situational dialogue. The movie doesn't rely on gross out humor or shock value but rather on well crafted scenes that allow for mature comedic dialogue. And at the end of the day I'm always down to watch this movie once a year just for some good fun.

Meteor strikes Wayne Grey (Seann William Scott)'s car. Glen Canyon Community College professors Ira Kane (David Duchovny) and Harry Block (Orlando Jones) investigate. Block is working for US Geological Survey. The meteor lands in an underground cavern and they find a blue liquid coming out of the rock. Kane discovers alien life growing exponentially and evolving exponentially. Soon the military moves in led by General Russell Woodman (Ted Levine) with Dr. Allison Reed (Julianne Moore) from the CDC.It's a cross between a disturbing grotesque horror and broad comedy. It's a bit unusual because comedies aren't normally that gross. I laughed hard as I squirm in my seat. There is something disturbing and hilarious about pulling an alien fly out of Orlando Jones' backside. I like that the guys are selfish oafs. I even like the forced pratfall from Julianne Moore. This being an Ivan Reitman film. There are going to be some Ghost Busters comparisons. The creature feature is a bit too scary to be as funny as GB. However I cannot minimize how big some of the laughs got.
