Director Ivan Reitman (GHOSTBUSTERS, STRIPES, DAVE) turns from ghosts to aliens in this comedy starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, and Julianne Moore. When a meteor crashes...
more...into the Arizona desert, local community college professors Ira Kane (Duchovny) and Harry Block (Jones) are shocked to discover that it has introduced rapidly evolving aliens to Earth. Although the professors try to keep their discovery a secret, the U.S. military takes over the investigation, sealing off the fantastic creatures and the environment that the aliens have established. But when aliens start popping up on nearby golf courses and in the local mall, it's up to Kane and Block to save the world. With a little help from Allison Reed (Julianne Moore), a clumsy scientist with the Center for Disease Control, and Wayne Green (Seann William Scott), a dim-witted country club pool manager and fireman-wannabe, the two professors devise a plan using an unlikely weapon to kill the alien population before it wipes out the human race. Fittingly, former Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd appears as the governor of Arizona.

I decided to see this film because I forgot my friends bithday and she was not impressed. To make it up to her I decided to take her to the film of her choice - Evolution. I wasn't really expecting much, i admit, but Evolution turned out to be the funniest film i've seen in a long long time.

The film starts with humour and continues throughout, the plotline is a bit weak, but the jokes are great, it's from the director of Ghostbusters and it shows, it's 'old skool' comedy.

All the big films today seem to be either historical, romantic or teen comedy, with the occasional science ficton action movie thrown in frm time to time, its refreshing to watch a comedy that doesnt take itself to seriously and is not based on high school.

The characters arent really developed, but it doesnt really matter because it doesn't detract from the jokes.

I thoroughly enjoyed Evolution and think anyone who wants a break from the norm should go see it.
