directed by Ivan Reitman
Can there be anything better than a weird sci-fi comedy on Wednesday? Don’t answer, because I have such film for you today and I’m not changing it. When I saw the description of it on the Internet, I thought it’s something I should give up on. And also the ratings weren’t that appealing. However, I started reading comments and reviews and a big group of people said it’s a lame production, but a wonderful comedy. And I have to agree with that 100%. The film starts with a meteor landing on our planet. Soon, two college professors, Ira Kane and Harry Block (David Duchovny and Orlando Jones), go to see it and take some samples. After testing they realise that it’s not just a meteor, but there’s life being hidden inside. Then scientific blah blah blah happens, but generally this thing starts evolving and, as it often is in sci-fi production, becomes a threat to humans. Are the special effects cheap? Yes. Is the story lame? Yes. Is it at least a bit scary? No. But damn those dialogues. There’s this kind of humour that makes you laugh but also face palm at the same time, if you know what I mean. In fact, “Evolution” was supposed to be a serious sci-fi film, but the director decided to change the script significantly and we ended up with this. So it’s rather a silly comedy with creepy creatures from another planet. Sure, it’s not a must-see, but if you’re feeling down or want to scroll your social media while watching something, here you go. I had fun and I don’t regret.
My rating: 6/10
