Summary: GIVE IT A BONUS
Review: This movie is yet another knock off of sci-fi spoof movies.AS shown in some of the above reveiws it has its good &bad points.Mostly bad points-and I would rather give it a 2.5 star rating.Beging that is not a choice -I'll stay with 3stars for it's funny moments and some of the neat cgi -fx.See this movie if you like spoofs or have nothing better too do.Not worth night admittion.The worst part is it becomes a big head &shoulders ad. In a nut shell.Bio professors find a metor .They try too keep it a secret from milatary.Military finds out.They screw up.Bio prof's save the day.This movie is proof that with the right shampoo -anyone can be a hero.

Summary: Worth seeing
Review: I went to this movie not expecting much, but I was surprised to see a quality film. The PG-13 movie has humor that kids can laugh at and subtle humor for the adults as well. The special effects and humor make up for the fairly predictable plot. Ducovhny breaks out of his serious X-Files demenor when teamed with Orlando Jones (I'm sure the women will appreciate the mooning scene Duchovhny is involved in). There were points in this movie when I was falling out of my seat laughing. Overall, the movie is worth seeing even though it might be down-played by other block-busters in the theatres now. If you want to see a humerous, enjoyable film, I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: The "Ghostbusters" maestro does it again.
Review: When "Ghostbusters" hit theaters in 1984, Ivan Reitman was named a master of sci-fi comedy. With "Evolution," Reitman has done it again. After a meteor strikes Earth, one celled organisms begin evolving into multi-cellular creatures overnight, and soon there are giant birds, slugs, and all sorts of creepy crawlers running around Arizona. David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julliane Morre are hilarious together in this original and funny comedy.

Summary: Boring movie!
Review: This movie was a complete waste of money. There's no chemistry between any of the main characters; as a result, the movie has no energy. Don't waste your time!

Summary: "Evolution" evolves into a great time at the movies
Review: Ivan Reitman, the creative director who brought us "Ghostbusters", has struck gold again with his newest comedy "Evolution". The film starts out with a meteor crashing into the desert in Arizona and two community college professors get a call to go and check out the site where the meteor crashed and investigate it. The two professors, Ira Kane and Harry Block(David Duchovny and Orlando Jones), break off a piece of the meteor and out comes some kind of blue liquid. As the scientists gather samples and study them, they realize that the liquid is made of organisms that can evolve at a rapid rate. Thus begins the story of "Evolution" which is one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. The film takes a somewhat serious situation about aliens taking over the planet and making it into a very creative and smart piece of filmmaking. The film works as a great comedy providing many laugh-out-loud scenes throughout. Also, the film provides a few scenes that will probably make you jump out of your seat. the film also contains some really good chemistry between thae characters, especially between Duchovny and Jones who became very good friends during production. Julianne Moore, who plays a government scientist provides many laughs based on how clumsy her character is. Seann William Scott(American Pie)plays a goofy wannabe firefighter who is the first one at the site when the meteor crashes into the earth and joins Duchovny and Jones in the quest to fight the aliens. The movie is as creative and original as any comedy that has come out this year or within the past few years which is really saying something because there has not been a really great comedy like this to come out of Hollywood in a long time. The screenwriters David Diamond, David Weissman and Don Jakoby did a great job in giving the characters funny and sharp lines and also creating some very funny situations. Director Ivan Reitman also deserves major credit for creating a film that is both funny and a bit suspenseful at the same time and also very original and enjoyable. In addition, the special effects in the film are really spectacular. The man who worked on bringing the dinosaurs from "Jurassic Park" to life, Phil Tippett, did a remarkable job on creating some really original and realistic aliens for the film. In conclusion, "Evolution" contains everything that is a good idea for a winning comedy: a good story, good characters and acting, some really unique and cool special effects as well as some really funny scenes. Anyone who wants to have a fun time at the movies should definitely check this one out.

Summary: funny/ entertaining movie from Ivan Reitman
Review: "Evolution" opens with a meteor headed on a path for Earth. Meanwhile, a would-be firefighter Wayne Green(Seann William Scott) is practicing a drill in the Arizona desert. The meteor hits by where he was practicing and so begins the story. Harry Block(Orlando Jones), a professor at a community college in Arizona gets the call, and he and Ira Kane(David Duchovny),a fellow professor, go to the site. From here the ooze that leaked out of the meteor multipies into creatures and the military gets involved. Ira and Harry are told that they are not to be included in future research so they take matters into their own hands. Enter Allison Reed(Julianne Moore), a clumsy military scientist who was assigned to research the aliens. Coming off the serious film "Hannibal", Moore is terrific. Wayne becomes involved and they fight together to protect the U.S. from the extraterrestrial beings. Evolution is a smart comedy which knows how to poke fun at the sci-fi genre. Being created from the comedy genius of Ivan Reitman, who could expect less. Besides being a first rate comedy, it also contains creative state of the art special effects. Special effects master Phil Thippet who brought us the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" brought his special touch into "Evolution" and it shows. The creatures in the film are extremely creative and look real as well as a little bit cartoony. The cartoony look of the aliens serves its own purpose and provides laughs as well as a few jumpy moments. David Duchovny and Orlando Jones have great chemistry which provides lots of laughs. Coming in a year where its all too rare to find a sophisticated comedy, "Evolution" is a breath of fresh air.

Summary: Excellent as Usual
Review: Evolution... brings back some great memories, eh? No, but the movie had a high percentage of humour, which is something I always look for in my movies. David Duchovny played an ex-government agent rather well... any practise? Interesting topics were brought up in a discussion I had, such as"Would Selenium really work?" a think-piece, with definte teenager/Duchovny-fans appeal.

Summary: Best Duchovny movie
Review: This movie is so great. I just saw it and I can't get over how funny it was. David is gorgeous, especially covered in... well, I won't go into that. It is the best movie, even if you don't like David. I STRONGLY reccomend this movie. Get out there and see it! What are you waiting for?! I love this film!!

Summary: Reitman strikes back BIG TIMES!
Review: This obviously isn't an award winning movie, I am sure the movie makers knew it before they made it, but what it is, is A BIG TIME SUMMER COMEDY BLOCKBUSTER! If you are looking for action, AWESOME special effects, cool and funny comedy, I suggest you get yourself a ticket for Evolution because it will take you on a great entertainment ride! If you are one of the people who wants drama and award winning stuff ... go somewhere else, if you want fun, EVOLUTION IS IT! Enjoy...
