Review: "Evolution"

Evolution (DVD / PG-13 / 1 hr., 42 min. / Director: Ivan Reitman / Cast: David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, Julianne Moore)


Check out the trailer.


I had bought a version when living in France. It has a different region code. In France, you can buy a DVD player and they will make it regionless for a reasonable fee—not so in the States. So, I bought another version since it was on sale at Amazon.


This is a bit of a guilty pleasure ... it is just pure (stupid) fun. I will sometimes watch this while doing other things. The story is over-the-top ridiculous. The actors all look like they are having a good time. The special effects are surprisingly good.


It is available on Netflix (but not instant streaming). Give it a try! There is an animated version as well. I have not seen this before. I will have to add it to my queue!
