Extinction 2015

Extinction

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.

Critic Reviews for Extinction

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (9)

  • "The Walking Dead" must really be leaving its mark on the entire zombie subgenre.

    Martin Tsai

    Los Angeles Times

  • 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.

    July 30, 2015 | Rating: C | Full Review…

    Devan Coggan

    Entertainment Weekly

  • The film's core problems: too little zombie and too much plot.

    July 29, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Katherine Pushkar

    New York Daily News

  • On paper it sounds quite good and... I had high expectations for it, something that surely has influenced how it ended up being such a huge disappointment. [Full Review in Spanish]

    Espinof

  • 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.

    Molly Henery

    The Blogging Banshee

  • 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.
