Too much of everything
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The first must-see film of the year.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
...because I need to have cry about the death of cinema. If Hollywood was a barrel and blockbusters like Greenmile and Star Wars floated on the top, this movie would be scraping the bottom of said barrel!!This is not even a 'B' Movie, in fact I am not even sure the movie knows what it is. I did not want to be too negative about this movie, so I looked for something good to say about it, but unfortunately I could not find anything even remotely fine about this pile. Maybe barrel was the wrong metaphor, maybe more of a waste paper basket because this movie is garbage. From the outset the sound has an odd echo, the picture has an odd dark tint to it, the effects and cinematography (if you can call it cinematography) are appalling.Oh! I did find one great thing about the movie, the end few seconds of the credits. The movie for a start is called 'Evilution' it starts with three poorly made up zombie looking creatures in Iraq. Then you assume it comes back to the states! However 30-40 minutes into the movie all we have seen so far is the main character settling into his new home. The action if you can call it that is in the last 25 mins of a 82 minute movie. But I did not see any real 'Evil' or 'Evolution' of evil which the title of the movie states.Also don't be drawn in by the movie poster, it completely misleads you as to anything that happens in the movie. This movie makes Sharknado 1,2 & 3 look like a Hollywood Blockbuster or at best a Michael Bay movie. The activity I took part in after watching Evilution was far more exciting I am afraid to say. But then again someone has to empty the trash in my apartment!!
A military scientist trying to learn more about a strange alien virus moves into a run-down suburban apartment complex to study it, but when it gets released upon the inhabitants and turns them into flesh-devouring zombies, he races to stop them before they can escape the building into the city.Not all that bad at all, and actually a fairly decent effort in it's own right, helped along by a fairly novel idea of letting the zombie reanimation come from an alien organism rather than anything else and in a sense possessing the victim to continue living so that they can learn about the human race, but only by consuming the flesh of their victims. Pretty unique, as well as the method of disposing of the creatures, which is pretty original and clever and allows for some good times later on. They look pretty good as well and manage to get in some pretty gory stuff here and there, although their behavior of mimicking the infected (i.e.: running zombies) is terribly handled. Plus, it waits far too long to get going with it's life-is-hard-in-the-projects opening that holds off the zombie mayhem, but overall its not that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a mild sex scene and drug use
I mean, it's OK, I guess. Lots of blood, some acceptable FX, a couple plot twists, and some explosions, but no real "zing" to it. You never get involved enough to care that characters are doing something stupid or dangerous. You don't really care when they die gruesomely. (OK, OK...it's not usually THAT gruesome. The FX are about 50% of what they should be.) This ought to be a roller-coaster ride and it's actually a carousel. The tension ought to build and then release, only to build again. It doesn't.Now, as far as the whole alien sub-plot. That was just someone thinking that the script wasn't cerebral enough. They were nervous and decided to add a "twist." Bad mistake. It definitely weakened the whole film. (And why do I get the feeling that the writer had just watched "Die Hard"? He/she was probably thinking, "Cool! They weren't terrorists after all. They were just thieves. Hey! I know! In my movie, it won't just be a zombie virus. It will be an alien zombie virus!" Anyway, save this for late at night, when you don't care if you fall asleep halfway through.
This movie was a bit well... not what I was expecting but seriously parkour Zombies were bloody awesome even if it was in a few scenes I was impressed! Those trauciers are amazing!!! The rest of the movie was unfortunately... not so grand the only person worth looking at is Sandra Ramirez! She really did a top part playing her role! Evilution is like another zombie flick that fails to deliver. Its story is both predictable and seen before. The movie then bases itself in a sleazy trashy building laced with victims to be and the obvious handful of survivors must do whatever it takes to put a stop to it all using what is commonly or conveniently available. This movie could of been way better I give it a two for its good acting and short parkour scenes other than that I say it could of been something worth the watch had they only worked a little longer on the plan out rather than just releasing another over gored zombie flick!
