I somehow have a feeling that this movie is just a very long shampoo advertisement, But I am not complaining, it made me laugh, and overall it was actually pretty enjoyable.
Always a fun film to watch. I saw it this time with a teen who isn’t particularly a film fan and has never seen this one, and he thoroughly enjoyed it too. The plot stands up to no scrutiny whatsoever, but the cast is excellent, the laughs are plentiful and as a Saturday evening family movie, it can’t be beat.
This a really fun easy to watch sci-fi comedy that hasn’t aged badly at all considering it’s 8 or 9 years old now. Following a meteorite crashing to earth (and interrupting/nearly squashing wacky Sean Wiillian Scott who is practicing his fire-rescue skills in the middle of the Arizona desert) two college professors investigate the site of the crash. Played by David Duchovny and Orlando Jones (who make a great double act) they discover space worms that have landed with the meteorite before the area is shut down by the government. This begins their Men In Black style investigation as the space worms begin to evolve into all kinds of wacky creatures causing havoc on their new planet as they multiply and take over. Julianne Moore then joins them in the fun and together with the rest of the cast they all have a pretty silly and fun time trying to defeat the monsters from space. The film is a bit tongue in cheek but not annoyingly so and there’s still a decent sci-fi film underneath which makes for a good fun, family watch.
Men In Black meets the Ghostbusters in this unfairly maligned action comedy. If you enjoyed either of those two films, you will find much to enjoy in this and whilst the beats have very strong symmetry to Ghostbusters (the discovery, the first bust, arguing with the mayor and the end resulting in them being covered in ooze are the first 4 direct references that spring to mind) it’s not like anyone was hiding what they were doing – they got Dan Aykroyd in after all.
It was always meant to be a Ghostbusters for a new generation and it succeeds about as well as anyone could hope for in that. Certainly better than “lets just do Ghostbusters again but this time with women and not funny”
This is, in my opinion, an underrated sci-fi comedy. Very funny with great special-effects. David Duchovny (chosen, no doubt for his ‘X-Files’ experience, was a delightful surprise) & Orlando Jones was a gem -with great comedic timing. Highly recommended!
If you liked GALAXY QUEST, you’ll more than likely like EVOLUTION.
I love this film. David Duchovny is great and during a part of the film he explains that the government can’t be trusted and he would know having worked with them previously. I like to think back to his days on ‘X Files’ at that point.
The film is very light hearted and funny and definitely worth watching. There is a great extra at the end of the movie with the male stars of the film too just before it finishes.
Probably one of the funniest Amrerican films out there despite Amazon’s own overview of the content, Duchovney (best known for X-Files) is pretty epic in this as are the rest of the caste. This is one film I am happy to watch again. It is a “disengage brain” film so don’t expect deep dialogue, it’s the perfect chill out and chuckle movie
A great film. The idea on which the film is based is extremely well thought out and interesting however the film was not delivered perfectly. A rock from space arrives on the earth and the one cell organisms which are discovered on it evolve at an astonishing rate. However the acting in this film isn’t great and it lets it down, the ending is extremely annoying and doesn’t leave much room for a sequel. Despite all this the theme keeps you interested if only to see how the aliens evolve and this gives it 4 stars.
Overall the film is very much underated and perhaps should have been recognised a bit more for the great idea it is based on. Don’t buy it if you’re after a blockbuster hit with great actors, special fx or other such things.
