Evolution

[Mofo Rising]

I know this was brought up several posts ago, but I just saw it and thought I'd add my two cents.

EVOLUTION is pretty much a harmless science comedy, in the tradition of GHOSTBUSTERS.  Not surprising considering it was directed by Ivan Reitman.  Time to turn your brain off and enjoy the entertainment.

I thought the CGI was well done.  I didn't even really notice it, unless I was consciously thinking that they were created with computers when I was looking at them.  I usually just accepted the reality of the situation (such as it was).  The scene in the mall was particularly well done, not to mention the last scene.

By the way, I think someone should start a petition to keep Dan Akroyd out of movies.

THINGS I LEARNED FROM THIS MOVIE:
-To become a general, one must ignore all advice or evidence and do what you think "feels right".  This generally (get it?) involves blowing something up.  Not that it matters because. . .
-The Governor of Arizona can pull rank on you.
-Even a giant sack of goo has a place where it "does its business".
-The active ingredient in Head & Shoulders is selenium sulfide.  (Not funny, but true.)
-If you need an overly complex approach to getting laid, faking the end of the world isn't a bad idea.

We're of the same mind then Mofo (boy, that sounds like I'm agreeing with you with malice).  Here is my earlier post:
