Evolution (2001)
7/10
Entertaining
5 August 2009
"Evolution" stars David Duchovny and Julianne Moore with Seann William Scott. It is a typical fun, pointless summer movie where you're just supposed to sit back, enjoy your popcorn and watch the monsters run around. The simple and predictable (but again fun) plot has a meteorite crash into the Earth, and it predictably contains alien organisms that rapidly evolve and begin attacking humans. Duchovny and Orlando Jones are two college science teachers who learn about this meteorite and the alien life forms it contained, and they try to solve the problem only to run into the army and namely the commander who has a big problem with Duchovny who used to be in his unit until he was discharged due to a horrible mistake he made. This is where they meet Julianne Moore's CDC character who is the only one involved with the military's operation who might listen to them. It's a comedy with a lot of jokes and silliness with some great special effects for the kind of movie this is, silly summer fun that's worth watching for sure.
