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.

For such talented actors, these are truly deplorable performances.

It was a different movie with a unique plot. I think they could have accomplished the same plot and kept it more interesting and fast paced but honestly a fresh different story line is worth the watch regardless. This sounds be an awesome book.

The plot was slow and didn't make a lot of sense, but I still found it intense and really enjoyable.

The begining is kind of boring, lots of little girls screaming “I’m scared” over and over again. Once you get to the point that you start getting some answers it gets better. I’m just a fan of Michael Pena, so he legitimizes this film a lot.

This director couldn't do anything original as this smelled as a rip off...a touch of non original as plot has been used countless times. Even the aliens are a mash up of old school costumes with "futuristic" elements?......I didnt know super gluing lights to a hoodie and jeans makes it futuristic. Must of been a low budget trash I mean movie. Negative 1000000000000 stars

Better than the reviews in my opinion. Interesting futuristic plot that I thought they pulled it off in a decent manner. Kept me interested and entertained throughout.

What actually the movie does, is to get us used with the transhumanism. Those who still think that the movies nowadays are basic art manifestations, are in the blind area still. I found the movie gross, offensive to the human culture, made by AI. No AI, we don’t want you, you are the enemy.
