Film Review of Evolution
Year: 2001 Reviewer: Chris Docker
More monsters with lots of hopefully comic touches. Same sci-fi/comedy balance that Mars Attacks aimed for, but with slightly less success. Gags like acclaimed actress Julianne Moore falling over every few scenes (being a dippy sexy scientist who doesn't look where she's going) fall flat rather sooner than they should. The monsters are fun, and keep "evolving", which at least keeps the movie interest above the snooze zone. Go along expecting the rubbish you might reasonably guess this to be and you might enjoy it as better than the awful movie you thought it would be. It's not awful - just hasn't evolved far up the scale.
Rating: 5/10
