On top of that, the third act, which is about the Ghostbusters turning out to be the real heroes, is loaded with gimmicks that work beautifully. It all works in Ghostbusters . And it s ridiculous. But it works. In this regard, Evolution just kind of paints by numbers until it gets where it is going.
Nothing seems sharp enough.
And that s too bad, because the film had so much going for it, elementally. The performers are solid and likeable. The effects are cool. And I ll go with the premise. But the film just doesn t evolve.
