Extinction (2020)

Very disappointed :(

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Admirable film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I watched it thinking it might be ok, but I was really surprised. I did feel at parts it was rushed but, that did not take away from the storyline. Netflix has not made great movies, but this one is worth watching. Also, everyone irritated at the children, well those are emotions and they acted as expected.

Yes everyone has their opinions but this is such a clever movie and it got better every time I watched it. at first you don't relate to the adults but then the twist happens and it all clicks into place. Loved it!! The kids were awesome as what kid wouldn't scream cry and cry some more in that situation!

This movie was kind of ok until the 'twist'... well yes the kids were loud and annoying like on a landing plane...also bad decision makings doesn't help either. But my question with the whole movie: WHY? Why would AI want to take over our world? Since Westworld this idea is getting annoyingly overwhelming and the execution is poor in my opinion. First of all: these 'synths' doesn't need the resources on Earth that we are desperately depending on. They don't need food, fields, water, animals or other resources. They only need energy, what they can get from the Sun, or nuclear reactors, whatever. Thing is: why would they need Earth so desperately that they would try to wipe out humans? Why would they want to become humans in the first place? They don't need chairs to sit, they don't get sick, don't need doctors, society. If they are so smart they don't want to copy/become an expiring vulnerable biomass, like humans. In one of the first scenes the wife is working as an engineer saying that they need to expand the canals under the city. But why? They don't pee or poo. They don't produce garbage... it's just feels lame. People need to start thinking out of the box and get some fresh ideas regarding this invading 'wannabe human' robots. It's getting too much now. Also it's hard to like the main characters at the end, knowing they wiped out humanity... And those stupid moves when they stop for family hugging when the soldiers chasing them and the russian metro stops and waits for them... then it's running out from the tunnel with a shiny modern train engine into the sunset using that horrible CGI at the end... It only worth 4 stars because the actors are good and some action scenes are fine - well actually the movie too until the twist.

Extinction: SF/Horror Thriller. A tale of Alien Invasion with interesting psychological twists. Peter is married with two kids, he has strange dreams, violent ones, he even has daydreams causing damage to work equipment. The visions seem to involve an alien invasion which involves mass death and destruction. He also sees strange lights in the sky; sent for counselling he finds he is not alone in having these episodes.Finally an actual alien invasion occurs. Flying ships attack both office and apartment blocks. Alien soldiers are landed and go apartment to apartment exterminating the occupants. It looks as if the invaders want to preserve some of the infrastructure. Ambushing an alien soldier, Peter links up with other humans and fights back.Interesting spaceship and space/battlesuit designs, larger ships carrying out heavy attacks, smaller gunships for tactical situations. The suit design terrifies as is no doubt intended. The odd behaviour of some characters will become clearer as the film unfolds and indeed there are several levels of revelations which cannot be described here without spoiling the film for future viewers. A good SF Thriller. 7/10 On Netflix.
