richard-2044 Seriously, I would like to counter-balance all the 1-star reviews by saying that this really is not that bad a movie. Okay, it's not Jurassic Park 1,2, or 3 (I haven't seen 4 yet) but it's in the same vein as that recent extraterrestrial found footage thriller of late, 'Alien Abduction'. Okay, not similar in the slightest, but has that same feel.I had absolutely no expectations of this movie and came across it in my satellite TV provider's online movie library and decided to watch it. I can tell you that I don't fully watch all that many movies. Basically, if it doesn't capture my imagination within the first 15 minutes, what happens is; 'Stop' --> 'Delete'. That did not happen with 'Extinction' (2014).All I can say is go in with an open mind and just watch it with the expectation of watching a low budget independent movie.Seriously peeps - it's not that bad...

pgilcosta-54756 We need to know, this film is a Series B. For a B Movie with a low budget its a great movie. Have a nice history, a lot of suspense, a acting is acceptable, and have some good visual and audio effects. Overall its enjoyable and for people that love movies like Blair witch, clover field, rec , its similar. For a B movie its a 9 or 10. The camera Angles, focus, the lighting, its very good, causes some ansious and makes the experience more real to the spectator. ITs not a Jurassic Park movie, but the review of 3/4 are very poor. The Films have a many parts of action, some little humor, maybe we will see a second movie. Cheers

quincytheodore Having an obnoxious cameraman on found footage is the equivalent of seated next to a loud texting person in cinema. Extinction has a couple good moments and the setting is presentable, but almost half of the movie is spent on bickering. If it's for realism of human drama, it's doubtful that actual documentary people would argue as much and the banter is not exactly appealing. For the encounter with alleged monster, it has so little impact since the effect is far from compelling, so barely anything works in Extinction.The film follows the journey of scientists and filmmakers to the depth of Amazon. They soon find out that the forest hides a very insidious secret. The use of found footage is mainly to create a sense of involvement for audience, yet the movie has a very confrontational cast. Nearly everyone would mumble in antagonizing manner almost in every scene, especially the cameraman James who is utterly annoying.He would instigate people and react poorly when interacting with others. It's probably for humor purpose, but it gets tiring very fast. There are the rudimentary comments on the existence of creature which are plodding the already uninteresting endeavor. Some scenes involving actual fauna is a bit better to establish the authenticity, though these are few between all the squabbles.As expected there would be unclear shots as the monster eventually reveals itself. It's not half bad since a couple of these instances are engaging. However, the effect for said monster is not convincing. The movie doesn't have the luxury of smooth mix of usual camcorder view and CG like Troll Hunter or Cloverfield. Not to mention the cast is unfriendly, it won't garner much sympathy.In the end, Extinction doesn't offer an amusing journey, let alone the grandeur encounter the poster falsely advertises.

eric_ccj77 Yet another home video style movie. The acting is just awful. Had to wait an hour to actually see a dinosaur and even then it was just a nose. Was the most boring crap movie I have ever seen. An hour and forty five minutes of my life I won't get back. The bloke behind the camera was irritating. The film just dragged on and on and on. There was no adventure in this movie. I wish I never bought it. Big mistake big huge. My advice don't bother watching this pile of crap. You're better off Tuning over to syfy channel. Do I actually need to continue with my thoughts on This awful film. It looked so promising and the heading made the film look brilliant but It was totally the opposite. Very disappointed
