I usually allow westerns and science fiction movies some leeway because so many are just not good, and that’s why I persevered with Extinction, though it was difficult. Initially, I had difficulty accepting that Peter, who ultimately puts himself in danger repeatedly and without hesitation to protect his family, would earlier act so carelessly and abandon them due to nightmares. The film's attempts at developing his background—his work, relationships, and everything else—didn’t offer much of interest either. The main appeal seemed to be that these dreams were important and would influence the story. However, did they actually do so? I assumed we were seeing these visions so he could understand what was happening or help them survive. Instead, his dream sequences appeared in a random order and, frankly, weren’t very useful. So, what exactly was their point? I also had several minor questions that arose during the film. For instance, given advanced technology like AI robots and spaceships, why does Peter have to physically reach inside a garage door to push a button to close it? Did they not advance overhead doors any further than that? Despite my reservations, I finished watching Extinction, and would suggest it as something easy to pass the time with. It even contains a few plot developments you wouldn’t expect at first.
