Summary: Have a nice end of the world!
Review: I have seen this movie twice since it opened! I thought it was much funnier than Men In Black, and much more intelligent as well. The special effects were great, the creatures good to look at and were integrated into the film so that you could not see the difference. As always, I found David Duchovny's acting to be very well done. He does surprisingly well in a comedy-delievering both straight and downright hilarious lines with skill. Orlando Jones is my new favorite funny man. I have not seen him in very much, but I was impressed by his comedic timing. Julianne Moore was at her best, radiant and a very good "straight woman". Seann William Scott was a delightful surprise as the slightly confused, but good hearted Wayne. And Dan Aykroyd was a nice addition, with his small part as the governor.

Summary: I had a huge smile coming out of the theatre :)
Review: Don't listen to the critics! The movie was great! I had a lot of fun watching the movie, loved the scene with the shopping mall and of course the moon by Duchovny and the commercial. I read somewhere that Duchovny didn't want the movie to be like the X-Files and felt disapointed when people compare Ira Kane to Mulder...but I have to admitt, while David is a good actor, we still see him as Mulder. In my opinion, Julianne Moore really should stick with serious movies because her "clumsiness" looked totally fake and there just wasn't much chemistry between her and Duchovny. I loved Orlando Jones and Seann William Scott and their character in this movie, they were realistic and funny!

Summary: THE BEST FILM OF THE SUMMER!
Review: It's everything you could want in a summer film! EVOLUTION is great! With it's mix of comedy, science ficton, and action EVOLUTION really delivers. Seann William Scott (AMERICAN PIE;ROAD TRIP) is hilarious! Orlando Jones (THE REPLACEMENTS) is the next Eddie Murphy and Julianne Moore and David Duchovny are as entertaining as always. Go see this movie if it is the last thing you do before the end of the world!

Summary: See a matinee or rent it.
Review: I like Ghostbusters and the ridiculous humor of Orlando Jones and Seann William Scott. I gave the movie three stars because at least by the end, I wasn't staring at my watch the whole time. The film makes a bad first impression by not producing a laugh (or trying?) for about 20 minutes. The main problem is the film tries to use its actors like Ghostbusters uses its actors: with subtlety. Duchovny fits this mold. But Jones and Scott must be flaunted. Scott is perhaps the leading facial contortionist in movies today. That is why I proclaim the shopping mall scene the highlight of this film. I guess I liked it, but I want some of my ... dollars back.

Summary: Spectacular
Review: This film is excellent, with some great 'in-jokes' and 3D animation. The few holes in the plot are well covered up by the rest of the storyline, and the acting is great.... The idea of the evolution of these aliens at such a high rate is an interesting one, if not a bit insane. The soundtrack is nothing to be laughed at either, with a great mixture of music. IMHO, Ivan Reitman has outdone himself with a great storyline, cast, soundtrack, 3D effects and more, and anyone fearing a Ghostbusters remake should feel safe in the knowledge that it is not. If you haven't seen Evolution yet, then go out and see it now!

Summary: The Best Show of the Year
Review: The movie was a definite stand-0ut for being funny. It kept me laughing from start to finish. I was still busy laughing from the first joke that i missed the second and the third. The guy from the 7 Up commericals was my favorite actor. I'm going again to see this great flick.

Summary: Highly Amusing
Review: A fun movie! I enjoyed seeing Duchovny playing such a lighthearted part, it show's he has more than one side. The aliens were, well, interesting. Good special effects.

Summary: HILARIOUS! A MUST SEE!
Review: Evolution is the funniest movie of the year! Putting a complete nutcase (Orlando Jones[7 UP guy]) With a very serious actor (Duchovony) was Brilliant! This is a very funny movie that everyone should see TWICE! There are a few sexual jokes though. Otherwise, the movie was hilarious! *****

Summary: Ivan Reitman Strikes Again
Review: Did you like Ghostbusters? If yes, then go see Evolution. It takes the classic Ghostbusters comedic formula, updates it, and gives it a spiffy new context. (To you purists, no: the films are not exact parallels.) They do, however, share several key plot devices and the fast-paced, subtle wit for which Reitman has become justifiably recognized. Before this review starts sounding too pretentious, I'm going to cut it off and hit the highlights:1) This movie is extremely funny. True, David Duchovny isn't Bill Murray, but then again, we can't go rating movies based on their Bill Murray content (That would put Wild Things higher than some of Kevin Bacon's more refined work--something that simply cannot be done.) 2) It's entertaining! Unlike most movies, I actually walked out of this one having had a thourougly good time. Sure, it had failings, but those couldn't detract from the sheer entertainment value. 3) Sure, the special effects are kinda transparent. The plot and cast manage to hold up just fine, and actually carry the show themselves--instead of falling back on crowd-pleasing effects shots. Go see it. If it's already out of theaters, rent it or buy it.

Summary: A Summer Gem
Review: As a fan of "Ghostbusters," I really enjoyed this movie. Ivan Reitman just makes really entertainable movies. David Duchovny is really becoming a Cary Grant/Clark Gable kind of movie actor. First "Return to Me" and now "Evolution." He is totally enjoyable in this film. The supporting cast were wonderfully selected! This movie can be enjoyed by men and women all.
