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.

2/5

It's a simple, efficient sci-fi thriller with big Blockbuster aspirations but without much charisma or soul.

The 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.

It's a narrative that is familiar in most of sci-fi, but how thoroughly this film follows that preceding movie's beats is disappointingly uncreative.

5/10

Feels as if it would work better as a pilot for a television series - perhaps chiefly because the conclusion is a mere setup for further tales in this speculative world.

For such talented actors, these are truly deplorable performances.

Cool trailer but the movie was bad! I only finished it because I just had more questions. Bad acting you make no connection or attachment to any of the characters. In the plot does not fall together. 👎

I thought the movie was decent. I won’t be watching it over and over, but it’s worth a watch. The acting isn’t amazing either, though I didn’t have any eye roll moments. I really enjoyed the plot twist and it makes me think about where we are headed.

Una película un poco lenta aunque entretenida, con una trama interesante y un desenlace bastante bueno. Simplemente, no es la mejor, pero es una de esas películas que vale la pena ver al menos una vez. La recomiendo a los que les gusta la ciencia ficción.
