Nel deserto dell'Arizona viene segnalata la presenza di un meteorite precipitato all'improvviso. Dentro ci sono sconosciute forme di vita provenienti da chissà quali spazi. Ira Kane, già funzionario del governo e biologo, e Harry Block, geologo, giungono sul posto, procedono ad accurate analisi in laboratorio e capiscono di avere di fronte micro organismi che, attraverso rapidi meccanismi di evoluzione, potrebbero diventare un pericolo per la razza umana. Ira e Harry vogliono seguire il 'caso' da soli, ma contro di loro si mettono altri scienziati governativi decisi a gestire la situazione: a guidarli il generale Woodman e la dottoressa Allison Reed. Mentre vanno avanti questi contrasti, gli organismi crescono di misura e dimensione. Quando sono ormai diventati enormi e minacciosi, Ira ed Harry hanno un improvviso colpo di genio per eliminarli: spruzzato in dosi rilevanti, uno shampoo antiforfora ottiene l'effetto di far ritrarre quelle 'cose', che diventano innocue.

This movie is so unpretentious and charming that it will win you over. As other reviewers have pointed out, it may not be the most original movie ever, but originality is hardly the point of "Evolution", so...who really cares.
I've seen this movie a number of times and it has me laughing out loud everytime. The partnership of Duchovny, Orlando Jones and Seann William Scott hits the spot, and you can sense that the actors are really having fun making this movie.
If you enjoyed movies such as "Eight Legged Freaks", "Road Trip" and "Dodgeball" this should be just the movie for you.

A meteorite falls to Earth and lands right in the desert at Glen Canyon, Arizona. Two college professors, Dr. Ira Kane and Prof. Harry Phineas Block, take it upon themselves to investigate and mooch around. At the site, they discover worm like insects that are not of this world. Thinking they are on to Nobel Prize type history, they are dismayed when the government takes over the site and shunts them out the way. But as the insects start to evolve in the Earth atmosphere, they take on various shapes and forms of alien creatures. Pretty soon the whole place is over run and the government is at a loss in how to stop them. Enter Ira, Harry, Wayne and Allison to hopefully save the day.
Directed by Ivan Reitman {Ghostbusters 1 & 2}, Evolution is a zany sci-fi comedy that achieves firmly what it sets out to do. Using the available special effects for great rewards, and lashing it in Technicolor, all that remained was to have a cast happy to be in on the joke itself. Up step David Duchovny {revelling in none serious X Files malarkey}, Orlando Jones {getting all the best lines}, Julianne Moore {accident prone} and Sean Wiillian Scott {goofball fireman wannabe}. Backed up by Ted Levine, Dan Ackroyd, Ethan Suplee and Ty Burrell, Evolution is well served right across the cast. Of course they aren't asked to do anything special, but it's not that kind of film. There's enough here for all the family to enjoy, kids will be awed by the array of alien creatures, whilst the adults should be chuckling away at some of the jokes.
If you are expecting real science then you have come to the wrong place, Evolution parodies the sci-fi parodies, and then some. 7/10

Evolution is a lot more fun that its busted summer would-be blockbuster status implies, although like most Ivan Reitman comedies the concept is funnier than the script. For the first half David Duchovny and Orlando Jones have more exposition than jokes to deal with and Julianne Moore is game but is no natural comedienne, especially when it comes to pratfalls, while Ted Levine's clichéd general is a villain too far. But once it hits its stride and the constantly evolving critters that are the real stars of the show start multiplying and threatening mankind with extinction, it's an enjoyable monster mash that even manages to make a joke of its product placement for Head and Shoulders. Like the aliens it's no world-beater, but it's a brisk and enjoyable romp. Nice score from John Powell too.
While DreamWorks US NTSC DVD has a good selection of extras, including audio commentary, deleted scenes and alternate ending, the UK DVD comes up short on extras, with just a making of featurette and trailers .

Enjoyable movie
I love this film; it's a funny, feel good movie. I'm a bit of a geek too so I like the science stuff, but you don't have to know much about science to enjoy this.

Glad I got it
This DVD arrived within the time scales provided. really happy to get this. The scene with the bug in the air tight suite has to be a classic - never fails to make me laugh.

The most unfunny film I've ever seen
Sorry, but I just didn't get even a hint of humour. It felt like the longest film I've ever had to sit through. Read more

HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST (sorry, couldn't resist it)
