What to Know

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.

Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 07/30/2015
"The Walking Dead" must really be leaving its mark on the entire zombie subgenre. Go to Full Review Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly 07/30/2015

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. Go to Full Review Katherine Pushkar New York Daily News 07/29/2015
2/5
The film's core problems: too little zombie and too much plot. Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 04/22/2020
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] Go to Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee 11/02/2018
5/10
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. Go to Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ira G @Iravmg 1d Great acting and storyline. One my of my favorite zombie movies. It has perfect mix of horror, gore and suspense. I don't understand why it has so many bad reviews. :( See more David F @FallenAngel00me 4d Short and sweet review. Seen much worse and much better movies. Needed better pacing though See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 21 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Sam N @RT07373286 01/18/2025 This movie got so many bad reviews, buts it's honestly so good! I loved that fact that it wasn't only shooting and so much storyline in it. It was good, creepy and interesting at the same time. Scary and good. I loved it! Just hoped there'd be a second part. See more Hammer T @RT58197227 09/21/2024 Definitely not the worst movie I have seen. If you're looking for a movie where the characters have to fight humanoid monsters it's worth the watch. It also has a decent ending. See more Larry L @RT53584283 08/05/2024 Extinction is a good movie with a lot of good scenes. It reminds me of The Walking Dead and other movies that come after they had the original ideas. Plus there's an intriguing story behind it not just kill kill kill. See more Read all reviews
