Absolutely Fantastic

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I'm not necessarily ready or prepared or even planning on writing a review for this movie but am wondering how a fairly popular movie with such an all star cast does not appear to have any message thread at the bottom of it's page here. It has nearly 400 user reviews but no message thread? The reason why I'm looking to add an entry to a message thread in the first place is because I'm surprised that this kind of movie only has 12 trivial items. I figured there would be more considering the use of it's special effects and also possibly references to other movies or characters plus the fact this movie is over 15 years old.

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

I honestly had to skip this movie from the beginning to the end because it just was honestly so dumb and it would make you go asleep after watching 10 minutes of it. I thought it was a bad idea to involve too many people to be on the team. Two professors,two fireman and a scientist doesn't work out too good to save the world from aliens. That's like the worst plot that they ever came up with. Involving Seann William Scott was a bad idea joining this since he always makes dirty jokes, we all know that from him being involved with American Pie!I would love if this movie did not exist, it would avoid me even touching it!

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.
