Evolution Ratings & Reviews
- RichardOctober 19, 2025Ivan Reitman tried to bottle the Ghostbusters formula again, oddball scientists, government interference and gooey alien chaos, but this time with shampoo jokes and Julianne Moore doing slapstick. David Duchovny and Orlando Jones lead the charge as college professors who stumble onto a meteorite that’s evolving life at breakneck speed. Cue the military, the one-liners and a climax that involves Head & Shoulders as a biological weapon. Seann William Scott plays the same guy he always played back then and the creature effects range from “pretty cool” to “PlayStation 2 cutscene.” The plot barely holds together, but the cast commits and the tone never takes itself seriously. It’s the kind of film you watch with snacks, laugh at the dumb parts and quote for years. Evolution is a guilty pleasure wrapped in early 2000s cheese. I rented it, I laughed and I still remember the Head & Shoulders scene like it was gospel and there is always time for lubricant.

- mickerdooJuly 1, 2025This is one of my guilty pleasures from high school. Extremely goofy and highly quotable. Plain good fun.

- James KearneyDecember 27, 2024Cheesy Sci-Fi comedy with a few good scenes but it's hard to watch all the way through.
