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.

There aren't any big surprises in the story of EVILUTION. A seemingly nice young man comes back from the war with a secret compound that has amazing healing powers. He moves into an apartment building in a dicey section of Los Angeles and his neighbors poke around in his stuff. He meets a very beautiful young lady. When a local gang member is mortally wounded the young man injects him with the compound, hoping that this will be the opportunity to use the healing powers of this amazing discovery.The compound was created by creatures from outer space. When it is injected into a host- human or animal- that host dies and is taken over by an alien life form.OK. Been there, done that. But watching this is infectious in that the actors have such a good time shouting dialog about alien microbes, firing guns, and running up and down stairs in the apartment building that eventually you realize that this must have really been fun to make.There are some nice elements. The "hero" isn't the two-fisted killing machine you expect in a story like this. One of the best "performances" is by the building itself, a huge structure that was probably very elegant in its day but now the wiring doesn't always work right.Early in the process the actors- many of whom seem to have reserves of talent that the script doesn't touch- seem to realize that this is not going to be the project that gets them an Academy Award. So they throw themselves into what they're doing and play with it like jazz musicians improvising on a simple children's song.One standout element is the musical score. I'm no expert, but it sounds as if it's performed by honest to goodness musicians and not on a computer keyboard. It's a nice touch.

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!

I never thought I would say this, but this movie is actually worse than "House of the Dead". I was eating dinner while watching it, and it still made me fall asleep twice.The story: Scientist finds alien (or so I'm told) and tries to use it as a weapon (what else?), by having it re-animate dead soldiers. The re-animated people turn into flesh-eating zombies, some buildings blow up, leaving only the nerd alive, he moves to a pretty disgusting apartment building, then we get to enjoy some silly over-acted acting, some "scary gang" of 3 guys that couldn't frighten a 4-year-old, and the most over-acted military hit-man of the year. Nerd tries to perfect the alien/virus/whatever, after that it turns into "28 days later" for a short while and then comes the predictable, laughable ending.This movie is uninteresting at best. The concept has been done numerous times before, but better, leaving this try at it clichéd and completely unfrightening. Had it had some kind of comedy twist or at least been bad in a way to make it funny, it might (using the term in it's most extreme meaning) have worked, but the most unforgivable thing about it, is that it's just too boring. Too can't-keep-my-eyes-open-for-the-love-of-life boring.
