Watched this movie for the first time since it came out. I remember a lot people comparing it, unfavorably to Ghostbusters, saying it was just a cheap knock off but with aliens. And that's not an entirely false claim. But honestly taken as its own, it was a pretty fun film.

I liked it
I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t like 90s Julianne Moore.
>She will never trip into your jeep
jokes on you it's early 2000s julianne moore
Was she one of the long list of co-stars that Duchovny duchovnyed? Based Duchovny.
The X-files was very popular
I have a theory about David Duchovny:
Hank Moody is basically David Duchovny.
I'm pretty sure after X-Files David Duchovny only took roles that allowed him to be producer and make actress casting decisions. Californication was just the natural conclusion to that. The man is a saint.
Same but for those who like her
one of my go tos for a lazy sunday afternoon flick, very comfy
Yeah, it's a very movie movie. It's not some big franchise film (Though I think there was a cartoon) it's just a solid decently funny sci fi monster film that hold up surprisingly decent (Except for the big amoeba at the end) and my only real complaint was...
>Jones doesn't even show the label
The idea of using the chemicals in shampoo is decent enough but man did they name drop a specific brand.
I'm convinced the product placement was some last minute edition, Orlando Jones is absolutely SEETHING in the final shot where they all hold up Head and Shoulders bottles
>Watched this movie for the first time since I came out.
What does you coming out as gay have to do with anything? You literal homosexual.
>since IT came out
You dumb fricking Black person. Trying to start shit on Christmas.
Let it go, man. I made the OP and the typo and even I just sort of took it as an embarrassing giggle. No need to get worked up.
It's not even Christmas, gayboy.

I remember I rented this movie a lot as a kid and really liked it, the aliens had some pretty awesome designs and because of them evolving through the movie you got to see plenty of new ones as the movie went on.
The scene with the shotguns in the mall is kino of the highest order.
And the alien removal via the arse scene
Very nice pace. Also nice to see your heroic science team's first reaction to the problem to be shotguns.
Always time for lube
Take it! Take the leg!
I used to have a crate of VHS tapes and this was one of them, it was pretty good.
I wanted to see more of this guy. What's he doing in the water heater? What were his end goals?
He was the crocodile thing that ate the one guy at the club later
>what were his end goals

This is a Cinemaphile favorite. Frick Ghostbusters honestly I like both but Evolution is better.
The movie has its moments. The biggest issue is that it appears as though some moron in the higher ups got it into their head that there always had to be a total buffoon on camera in every single shot. The baton gets passed from character to character, but it happens regardless... and it falls flat too often.
>The baton gets passed from character to character, but it happens regardless.
At the same time it still sort of gives everyone a moment to do something. So even if a few of the gags missed no single person is the designated joke character and the gags that did worked worked well.
>gags that did work worked well.
Not well enough to counter the ones that didn't. When the baton was passed to Seann William Scott, the movie was fricking insufferable.
>sort of gives everyone a moment to do something
giving everyone a moment to do something isn't always a good thing. In this movie, it made the story look like it had a lack of focus.
Still better than Ghostbusters 2016 and Afterlife.
Man that bar is so low it's not even worth acknowledging.

I saw it as a kid and didn't really remember much of it. I recently saw it again on one of those free ad supported streaming places that has every movie ever made that is older than 10 years. It really is pretty good and holds up well. I'm surprised it hasn't become a bigger cult classic.
I've actually been seeing it get some amount of attention past few years, but the problem is that today media just bombards people too hard and too fast. I wonder if there is room for cult classics anymore. Quiet Sunday movies and lazy rainy day watches. Nobody just makes a movie and nobody just sits down with one. Things are buried in streaking catalogues with nobody just thumbing through their media collection and pulling one off a shelf.
I think places like Pluto, Freevee and Tubi are bringing that back. Their movie catalog is impressive and the algorithm is pretty good at recommending movies based on what you've seen. Hopefully more zoomers are using these things to look at old stuff. I have hope that there will be a resurgence of old movies getting a second life because of places with massive catalogs like these.
And honestly I think people are just getting sick of big franchise movies that are constantly setting up sequels. A decent increase in done in one genre flicks are really what we need.
This movie introduced me to Powerman 5000. Therefore, it is a good movie.
I like it when a movie is a sort of time capsule of the time it was made
>since the lifeforms are nitrogen based
>selenium works like arsenic
This isn't how this fricking works
Evolution is just a theory.
I was talking about chemistry you mong
Chemistry isn't real. It was just made up by Orville Redenbacher in the early 90s to scam Midwestern vhs audiences.
Hold up you're onto something
Alchemist here. It's good to see the Chemistry Deception is on its last legs.
I always knew that cheeky frick was up to something ever since I saw him on those popcorn boxes
I get what they were going for, and they needed like one throwaway line that the organisms need sulfur for their metabolism or something but it's a fun movie so I can forgive it
It goes against the basic octet rule though, if anything it should have been germanium
I might be moronic but this was my favorite movie as a kid that didn't have Jason Statham in it
Neat. But yes, effects were way better than I was expecting. I thought it would be all CGI all the time but there were some decent practical ones as well.
What does Ghostbusters have to do with dragon ball evolution?
