Watch Extinction For Free

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In recent years I have really struggled to come across a zombie horror movie which really interested me. This movie is not the most original I have ever seen and it is relatively predictable however I did still find myself entertained through 90% of the film. The characters were, for the most part, likable and it had some tense moments. The 'zombie' design was not very original but creepy nonetheless. The acting was decent and the setting was interesting. As the movie went on I felt it comparable to the likes of 'I am Legend', 'The Descent' and 'Signs'. All of which I consider pretty good movies so I wasn't too bothered about the obvious similarities. All in all I felt it was an hour and a half well spent and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this genre.

In the snow-bound town of Harmony, three survivors of a zombie plague—Patrick (Matthew Fox), Jack (Jeffrey Donovan), and Lu (Quinn McColgan)—live a day-to-day existence, convinced that the infected have long since gone (wiped out by the cold), and that they are now alone on the planet. They are wrong.Director Miguel Ángel Vivas attempts to distinguish Extinction from the average zombie film by focusing on a small-scale drama that unfolds within a familiar apocalyptic setting. But after an hour or so of maudlin, plot-hole-ridden dreck guaranteed to have the eyelids drooping, Vivas ultimately resorts to the same bag of tricks used for so many other modern zombie movies—wobbly camera-work, rapid editing, growling sound effects to make the zombies seem more threatening, and CGI to 'enhance' the appearance of the undead—all in a desperate bid to wake up his audience.The last twenty minutes or so of Extinction admittedly provides a few solid scares, but nothing that we haven't seen many times over. So much for taking a different approach. In the end, his film is just one more forgettable entry in a very overcrowded sub-genre.

This movie was made in Hungary. --Shortly into the movie a horse is shot dead, it looks very real. There is nothing in the credits that says no animals were brought to harm, so once again we have a movie made in a country outside the USA in which animals were killed to save special effects money. I don't like seeing this kind of thing, I guess a lot of people do. --There isn't much more for me to say about this movie, I was disappointed that syfy would promote this, but I guess I'm maybe one in a thousand that even cares about stuff like this --Anyone reading this will probably think, dude, what are you watching zombies movies for if this bothers you. The answer is, the horse has absolutely no say in its situation, its a helpless defenseless creature. A movie company may as well put a large predator into a holding pen with a horse that has no way to move or defend itself, and film the slaughter, slapping one another on the back about a job well done. --Thanks for reading

The world has come to an end, flesh hungry zombies now inhabit the planet, only two men, Patrick and Jack, and Jack's daughter Lu survived. Living in the aptly named town of Harmony, which is now snow covered and surviving only just. A divide separates Patrick and Jack, but soon they must unite when the Zombies hit the town.I had read the usual reviews an was almost put off, it's true we have been swamped with Zombie movies over the last few years. You can't even visit a Cinema without the latest offering attempting to outdo the last. But there is something strangely enjoyable about Extinction, put together in an altogether more serious and grown up manner it has some very good points, some really strong production values, it certainly looks good, it's well acted, Matthew Fox puts in a good shift, even if he is hardly recognisable from the Lost days. Some great tension, a few jumpy moments.On the downside the film is overlong, at almost two hours I did lose interest a few times, some of the scenes are a bit too dialogue heavy, they could definitely have done a bit of editing to get it to ninety minutes. At times the story seems almost small scale, considering the enormity of what's occurred, the confines make it a bit small at times. Some aspects of the storyline were glaringly obvious too, you knew what was coming.Not a film you'd go raving about the monsters and the effects, it's more then that, it focuses more on the characters, the story of survival and human relationships. Pretty good, 7/10
