Critics Consensus

Extinction has a few intriguing ideas, but they -- and some game performances from its talented stars -- are lost in the movie's muddled plot and frustrating pacing.

"The Walking Dead" must really be leaving its mark on the entire zombie subgenre.

Vivas tries to add a family-drama twist to an otherwise standard survival story, but the characters aren't complex enough (and the secrets aren't explosive enough) to elevate this beyond a basic zombie flick.

2/5

The film's core problems: too little zombie and too much plot.

On paper it sounds quite good and... I had high expectations for it, something that surely has influenced how it ended up being such a huge disappointment. [Full Review in Spanish]

They tried to create something with a deeper story focusing on the survivors, while also updating the zombies into something more terrifying. Unfortunately, it just fell a bit flat.

Extinction has an interesting spin on the zombies themselves and does a good job of featuring two very different ways to live out the zombie apocalypse, but ultimately adds little life to the subgenre.

This is a suspense/horror zombie movie. The sound design was fantastic. Very underated.

This movie is SO boring. 40 minutes in and the most action that’s happened aside from the beginning is unfortunately the dog being killed off. I was wondering why this movie was so long and now I know it’s because of the extremely SLOOOWWWW pace. If any of my friends said they liked this movie, I’d never watch anything with them because I know their taste sucks lol

The dad was so petty with his eternal grudge towards his friend or brother or whatever. His wife asked him to kill her because she was infected, so he should get over it already. He stood by and just watched while his friend and the dog got bit, yet he acts like he's the bad guy. If he had shot the zombie in the first place instead of leaving his friend to die, it wouldn't have come after his daughter later. He never thanked his friend for saving his life and wouldn't even look at him when he came over for dinner. He was so bitter it was hard to watch. A whole 10 years had passed and he never got over it, it's like jesus just get over it already. People make mistakes

Much better than the ratings here. My only complaint is Mathew Fox went from being a long haired madman, to a stunningly handsome leading man. The change was just too severe to be believable.
