Review of Evolution (2001) by Kristi B — 01 May 2009

Ivan Reitman does it again! I really hate it when reviews are qualified like this, but in this case it really is true - in a good way: If you like Ghostbusters, you'll enjoy Evolution. Reitman has recaptured the fun, humorous and exciting blend of drama, comedy and action that defines his earlier films.

The whole cast play has great chemistry, playing off one-another, bringing the fun right through every single scene, and providing an underlying honesty that allows the audience to wholly buy in to an incredibly ridiculous scenario, and creating attachment to the core team.

It's a real quirky blast of comedy and adventure - and, as with Ghostbusters, although the effects are excellent, they never overshadow the fantastic human story. Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in this great feel-good flick!
