Have You Seen: Evolution (2001)

In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.This week we revisit Evolution from 2001, a science fiction comedy directed by Ivan Reitman and starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones and Julianne Moore, about a group of scientists who investigate a meteor crash in Arizona, only to discover that it harbors rapidly evolving extraterrestrial life forms.We talk about how Evolution's creature effects hold up despite being more than 20 year old CGI, why this movie is an example of the lost art of movies you can just have a good time with, why it is a feelgood movie that doesn't get made much anymore, and much more.
