Evolution (2001) 7/10

Starring : David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott
Director : Ivan Reitman
Running Time : 98 mins

When Dr Ira Kane (Duchovny) discovers a meteorite filled with single celled alien organisms that evolve at a remarkable rate, he thinks he’s well on the way to winning a nobel prize, but when things start to take a decidedly deadly turn, he realises that all of mankind could well be in danger from the rampaging evolving aliens.

I really enjoyed this film, even though Ivan Reitman clearly can’t get away from his popular formula in Ghostbusters. This definitely has the same feel as the Ghostbusters movies, but doesn’t quite have the same kind of characters, relying largely on big jokes rather than small subtle ones.
