Leave your thoughts about Extinction.
| IGNKenneth Seward Jr.Netflix's Extinction has its moments but is marred by a familiar premise, an uneven pace and a weak lead performance. |
| The Daily DotGavia Baker-Whitelaw[It's] a competent if unoriginal thriller where the scary parts aren't too scary, and the sci-fi ideas don't go too deep. Another addition to the list of streaming movies that are Just OK. |
| DeciderJoel KellerA well-acted, but poorly-constructed missed opportunity. |
| io9.comGermain LussierUnfortunately, almost every element other than the twist is bad. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeA truly amazing, original, thought-provoking ending. It can even be argued that this is the first honest science fiction film of the ongoing catastrophe that some describe as the anthropocene. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)Jo-Anne RowneyIt's entertaining enough, with larger than life set pieces, with dystopian vibes throughout. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThere are a lot of dark corridors, and the characters do quite a bit of ducking and crouching. Mr. Young handles it reasonably well, but I was struck by an unavoidable truth: These scenes of suspense and scare excel on a large screen, in a reasonably crowded theater. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Kiera AllenExtinction is sure to thrill, shock, surprise and impress -- if you're a science-fiction fan. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldBrad NewsomeThe big twist is a good one, there are some decent action sequences and Lizzy Caplan is always good to watch, but there isn't enough here to keep things from dragging. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldViolent alien invasion sci-fi tale has intense peril. |
