When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I really don't think the producers were shooting for a whacky comedy...because all the one liners are more snarky than funny...well, I suppose snarky can be funny in its own way.What really does make the movie fun is the variety of weird space alien creatures. In other words, the CGI was perty darn good...it' actually what makes the movie watchable, rather than the lame attempts of the characters to be humorous...While I liked it for what it is, I could only give Evolution a 6 for trying, but succeeding in only one area...

Campy. But in a 90s way. Not intentionally so, but the stink of the 90s all over it. We looked it up. After 9/11? Uncomfortably close. Duchovny is not mulder, but he is. Plot doesn't matter. Creature movies are good. Scifi movies, where the scary thing is an oversimplification of one reasonably interesting scientific concept, are good. What if the monster kept evolving? Became a microcosm of evolutionary process. That movie needed to be made. It probably already had been.Is it a comedy? Well, yes. It is comedic. But it's like some characters are in a different movie than others. Like a slapstick and a procedural, side by side. Uneasy balance. The mood shifts.Essentially a demo reel for what range of bio monsters you could make with CGI in the early aughts. Looks like a video game, now. This movie tries some weird things, at least. It's pretty dumb, though.

Evolution (2001) Directed by Ivan Reitman (known for Ghostbusters and Kindergarten Cop) Starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones Sean-William Scott, Julianne Moore and Ted Levine. With a memorable score by John Powell. This here is one of my favorite high concept, science fiction/ comedy movies of the last 20 years. And id throw with up there with Starship Troopers and Lost In Space, as a reason for shaping my love of low budget, self aware, sci-fi movies. Basic premise of the movie without giving anything away is, Duchovny, Jones, Scott and Moore are fighting off an alien invasion that grows twice in size every time it evolves, if they fail. The aliens will eventually destroy all life on earth. Its a sci-fi comedy. With some surprisingly good chemistry. Jones plays off Duchovny's straight-man so well. And they both play the straight man off of Scott's wild card routine, and speaking of him, this is one of Sean-William Scott's better roles, he's not to over the top, all tho there is this one scene. But I highly recommend it. I give it an A- (94%)

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.
