Evolution is an 80s style comedy / horror / thriller a la Ghostbusters, boasting elements of several other genres, e.g. buddy and college frat.
Jones' acting is superb and so is his dialogue. Duchovny balances those excesses with his usual quiet style. Moore is a jewel as the stern-faced but synpathetic government scientist (a sort of Scully or Starling figure with personality). Scott was just great as the yokel that found the meteorite. Ackroyd could have been much more than the straight Governor (a Dragnet fetish for strictness would have added something).
However, the two to watch for are those lovable wobbly students in Duchovny's science class. If they ever make another Animal House style film, they should book those guys early.
80s style one-liners guarantee the viewer will be kept laughing.
And I haven't even mentioned the great special effects...
This is definitely one to watch which will appeal to everyone.
