Evolution poster

Movies that feel likeEvolution (2001)

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.

If you loved Evolution, the closest films we have are The World's End (2013), Krrish (2006) and Men in Black 3 (2012). All three share Evolution's cerebral and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Warriors of Future (2022).

J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him - secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Both are Ivan Reitman's work, and they rhyme
