I was rewatching Evolution this evening for the first time in years. One of my favourite movies as a teenager when it came out and still really watchable now. Thought I’d check the Wikipedia article of it and wow, apparently I have shit taste.
>On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 44% based on 140 reviews, with an average score of 4.90/10. >The website's critical consensus reads, "Director Reitman tries to remake Ghostbusters, but his efforts are largely unsuccessful because the movie has too many comedic misfires." On Metacritic, the film received a score of 40 based on 32 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade B+ on scale of A to F.
>Todd McCarthy of Variety called it "a consistently amusing action romp". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times the film 2.5 out of 4, and wrote: "It's not good, but it's nowhere near as bad as most recent comedies; it has real laughs, but it misses just as many real opportunities". A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote: "The movie itself evolves in reverse, starting life as a moderately clever grab bag of high-concept noodling and half-witty badinage before descending into the primordial ooze of explosions and elaborate lower- intestinal gags".
It’s not that bad is it? I always thought that this and Mars Attacks are on the same wavelength and everyone loves that.

Imagine unironically caring what random people on the internet think about things. This movie is GOATED and i don't give a single shit what any cuck shill 'reviewer' says about
I never pay attention to critics. About "mixed" feelings. I can tell something like Star Wars Acolyte is garbage by the type of press they have for it, and because ObiWan proved that Disney+ cannot make good stuff like Andor or Mando S01 consistently. But Evolution is just a good wholesome film. Great camera work, great performances. Clearly not edited as tightly as Ghosbusters but it is still a really great film. I have it on Blu-ray.
Man I loved this movie as a kid. Not only did it have aliens, it had dinosaur aliens.
Thanks to the legendary Phil Tippet,and his underlings.
Tis shit
It’s pretty decent and definitely good compared to the shit we get for comedies nowadays. I think we just had a higher standard back when it came out
I do agree that the humor kind of leaves the movie in the final act and it’s just an action movie then
I think what hurt it in the end was the constant bombardment of "This is the new thing made by the guys that made Ghostbusters". It dominated the advertising in this movie so that probably caused people to compare it to Ghostbusters which yea it sucks in comparison to but was still good on its own
It's pretty good actually. Showcases a white dude nabbin a beautiful white redheaded woman. They don't allow that in entertainment anymore. It's basically like a Ghostbusters 3 in essence.
Head & Shoulders
>its the end of the world, right now
It's a pretty good comfy comedy movie. Critics have been wrong many times.
this film introduced me to sElf, so I hold it in high regards purely for that
Film was fun. No masterpiece but worth a watch and pretty entertaining
I remember being disappointed by the slapstick, since my friends and I had known about the original premise of the movie originally going to be a more serious toned horror about a group of scientists trying to stop Earth's terraformation by a bunch of The Thing inspired monsters.
I saw this movie on my first date with the first love of my life. It wasn't the only thing we did, we had spent the entire day together, and the movie was an unplanned thing at some point during it. She was the one who suggested Evolution, I hadn't heard of it prior and didn't really have any interest, but there weren't any better options so I went along with it to keep the date going. We both ended up really enjoying it and laughing a lot. That relationship was a roller-coaster, and like most young love didn't end up working out. The last time we spoke was about a year after we broke up. She had wanted to get back together, and I rejected her. I found out she died 6 years later. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Evolution again since our date.
>I found out she died 6 years later
Damn, man. I'm sorry.
I know some b***h tried to ruin Freaked for me but I'm not letting her have it frick her.
nice blog homosexual
My movies like that are 21 Jump Street and Blue Valentine.
RIP Cynthia.
you're lucky she died
you would have lost her anyways
Sean William Scott was good in it but he wasn’t doing himself any favors by taking the role. He became typecasted as just a complete dumbass and ruined his career
?si=WxTOG9CPPxPnO3PN
Is this scene designed to make you fricking hungry or what? I haven’t seen it in like 15 years and I still think about it
It was shit then and it still is. Alienators was fine, though.
it wasnt’t that bad
Wasn’t there a chick that was really hot in this? Like she encountered the aliens at one point? Not the shoplifter in the mall
It’s the same movie as X files
Good movie.
Critics are irrelevant.
I remember the practical aliens looking really cool like the one chasing the guy trying to frick on the golf course
it's been a long time since i watched it. only line i remember is the black dude near the end going "MAZEL TOV, IT'S A BOY", still makes me giggle today
Wikipedia is full of complete utter morons now that push troon shit. Dont bother with it.
Is that literally all you think about all day?
>t. troony
Oh so you are a schizo
Why are you so upset when someone doesn't like troons?
Every fricking thread has some schizo bringing them up when it has nothing to do with the movie
Just stfu and transition already
gohbuster 3
It's campy but that's why it was good. I give it 7/10.
It was bargain bin standard.
David Duchovny trying to be a mainstream movie star and learning he's been typecast as "Mulder from X-Files" for the rest of his life.
ka-kawww
tookie-tookie
It's fine. Doesn't take itself seriously, the actors are all clearly having a ton of fun.
