A sci-fi comedy? Yes please.
It begins with the introduction Wayne Green, a wannabe fireman practising for his fireman final when a meteor carrying alien organisms hits the heart of the Arizona desert. After a community college science professor, Ira Kane and his eccentric geologist buddy, Harry Block, discover the meteor, they find that the `bleeding' rock starts to create these weird alien creatures and soon they begin to multiply. Kane's nemeses and the military get involved, things get out-of-control and they must all team up to save the world.
Evolution is a crowd-pleaser with nice special effects and make-up, there's enough here to compare it to Ghostbusters, going so far as to have a sequence in the film where Duchovny, Jones and Scott chase down a flying creature in a mall. The three, equipped with shotguns, dispose of it in true Ghostbusters style. There's plenty to laugh at, and the actors do a good job, Moore is kind of annoying and doesn't stand out but Duchovny does a great job and is hilarious throughout it, was great to see him in a comedy role. The movie is a lot of fun and you're sure to have a good couple of hours.
This wouldn't be the first movie I grab off the shelf when wanting something to watch but I know if I do I will enjoy myself.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent-minded professor, works with his assistant Weebo, trying to create a substance that's a new source of energy and that will save Medfield College where his sweetheart Sara is the president. He has missed his wedding twice, and on the afternoon of his third wedding, Professor Brainard creates flubber, which allows objects to fly through the air. It looks like rubber, so he calls it flubber. This film is based on the 1961 Disney classic, "The Absent-Minded Professor.
