Review of Evolution (2001) by Cassidy R — 07 Apr 2009

I watched this movie years ago and only decided to watch it again recently. A meteor crashes down to earth bringing a new life form which threatens to makes humans extinct. Sounds like a dark subject but it has its comedy moments.

EVOLUTION delivers, even if sometimes you wonder if you have seen it before. Light-hearted, quite innovative take on the 'alien invasion' genre, full of fun and with a quality cast. Seann William Scott is always a funny guy - I don't think I've seen him give a performance that didn't make me laugh, and this is no exception.

Duchovny has another alien-busting, sexy red-head to play with, in the shape of Julianne Moore. Orlando Jones is the fourth goo-buster, and provides some of the funniest moments. Dan Aykroyd has a small part, but he can still perform.

It's not a deep movie about life so just have fun and escape the troubles of this world for 90 minutes, give or take.
