Review of Extinction (2018) by Gracy A — 29 Jul 2018
Ben Young's story is original in how he offers basic sci-fi ideas in a very unexpected and well executed way. It is as if you start out watching one movie than surprisingly find yourself in a different, refreshing and unique tale.The cast give relatable performances that allow you to connect with the characters. Although, at times the characters feel a bit more disconnected than one would expect under these circumstances.
The special effects are great. A mix of classic alien based CGI, reminiscent of "Skyline", and standard practical concepts. Blockbuster level, fire-fueled moments filled with death and explosions rest in juxtaposition against near minimalist background. The cinematography is beautifully done. Overall "Extinction" takes over-done sci-fi tropes and reworks them into a story both unique and exciting.
