-I recently watched Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) starring Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, and William Sylvester. Click below for a link of the IMDb page. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/?ref_=nv_sr_3 

-This movie follows several astronauts as they journey to Jupiter to discover a "monolith" that mysteriously popped up. Along the journey, there is a problem however, when their A.I. robot turns on them and leaves one stranded in space. Eventually, the main character shuts down the system and is able to escpape. The ship goes through a worm hole and aliens show him the beginning of life and eventually he is turned back into an embryo. This movie is a strange one. The best part of the movie to me is the memorable music. Bad special effects and lack of dialogue left a bad taste in my mouth. 5/10 stars.

-Although not your typical evolution movie, it does hold some evolutionary concepts in it. At the beginning, it shows 2 groups of apes. After the monolith appears on Earth, one group learns to use bones as weapons. This group is able to hunt better and has higher fitness. Although not entirely true, this is actually how natural selection works to an extent. Another scene sticks out to me. the very ending, the human "devolved" back into an embryo. Once again, alien technology has never been tested, but it goes out of the constraints of evolution for a human to revert to its embryonic form. However, this reminded me of an organism that essentially does this exact process. Turritopus dohrnii, or the immortal jellyfish has a process similar to this. The jellyfish start as larvae then gives rise to polyps that are on the sea floor. They then bud off and become sexually mature. Then, if the jellyfish experiences an environmental stress, or becomes sick or old, it can go back to the polyp stage and essentially repeat the entire process. It would be interesting to understand how the creature is able to do this from an evolution standpoint. Although this is very interesting, humans will most likely never be able to revert to their embryonic state once reaching maturity.
