Student note: notice my use of the passive tense, particularly with modals when I give my opinion about the movie. Write a review of a movie you've seen on your blog using as many modals in the passive voice as you can.
A while ago, I watched the scientific comedy, Evolution, which was released in 2001.
The movie is about alien life that rapidly evolves in a creator left by the crash of a meteorite from outer space. Two community college professors are asked to investigate the crash site, but when the government finds out that alien life is developing, the job is taken away from them. Unwilling to let their discovery be stolen, they sneak around to investigate and find the alien creatures evolving into enormous beings that soon threaten to overtake the earth.
This movie certainly would not appeal to everyone because it has dumb humor, but the idea of a meteorite sparking the growth of alien life on earth certainly stirs the imagination. Personally, I don't think the planet should have been saved by the dumbest students in class. That was a bit too unrealistic for me. I realize that comedies are not supposed to be viewed realistically, but I would have been pleased if the students who didn't understand the course material had failed the class. Perhaps that's the teacher coming out in me. Actually earning one's grade should be enforced at all schools. So, those two students who helped defeat the alien invasion should have been rewarded but their A's in the class ought to have been changed to failing grades because they couldn't pass the exams.
Watch the movie and see what you think.
