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.

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

A tedious movie with mildly annoying acting that initially begs the question," Why would sentient beings that had mastered interstellar transit want to come here with their superior technology and wipe us out?Or, if that was their mission, why would they struggle with it. This movies answer to that conundrum, we are the aliens hiding out on Mars who have come back to Earth to wipe out the very unaware robots who don't know they are robots.

The storyline and Acting was great. It keeps you at the end of your seat and suspense of what was going to happen. I definitely like that there was a twist towards the end of the movie. Two thumbs up for me. 👍👍

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.

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
