Evolution
Coming to wipe that silly smile off your planet.
Directed by Ivan Reitman
Produced by DreamWorks Pictures, Columbia Pictures
A lighthearted, high-energy sci-fi comedy that treats an alien invasion as an absurd romp rather than a genuine threat, anchored by ensemble charm and ridiculous creature designs.
A comedy that follows the chaos that ensues when a meteor hits the Earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest." David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julianne Moore are the only people standing between the aliens and world domination... which could be bad news for the Earth.
