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.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

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

Rated: 2/5

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.

...somewhat generic and tedious...

Gone With The Twins

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.

Rated: 5/10

Really disappointed in this. It's an action film with little real action. A constantly annoying child, and mediocre acting. The pace is way too slow for the story. Pena is such a great actor and he's the only one in the movie with talent.

I really enjoyed this film. Lots of action and a really good twist! Which I wasn't expecting at all! I few scenes which make you jump! Lots of shooting and fighting!

Underrated Sci-fi Movie. Some good twists. Would love to see a sequel and for it to develop more.

This is the type of movie that tells me how bored I am. "Acting" is a generous word for what the "stars" are doing here (and I like Pena). The twist did get me, but that was all. Earnest, but a definite meh
