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.

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. Jul 30, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review…

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. Nov 1, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

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. Aug 20, 2018 | Full Review…

Its narrative leans toward the untenable side of melodrama and pushes viewers away when it should be pulling them in for a suspenseful finale. Aug 5, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review…

"Extinction" is far from a horror masterpiece and doesn't really bring anything entirely new to the genre, but it's a solid zombie survival flick that takes its characters seriously and doesn't condescend to the audience. Jul 31, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It very much feels like it's trying too hard to be a grand and serious work while at the same time using some of the most hoary and overripe tropes of the genre to make its points. Jul 20, 2015 | Rating: C- | Full Review…
