SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Warren Spencer After seeing some not too kind reviews I thought I'd give this a try as it was on Sky Movies. Firstly it seems a lot of people here don't know what the definition of FOUND FOOTAGE films is. Just because it is filmed partially on a video-camera from a first person perspective does not mean it falls in that genre. Found footage would be when some undiscovered reels of film are found and the film adventure is set off thereupon. OK?? Anyway although probably 10 minutes too long and with some irritating characters (principally Tim) I have to say I was fairly impressed with the dinosaurs themselves (don't expect T-Rexes) which were a step up from the usual guff offered by Crocosaurus and the like. There are also some poor emissions from the scenes (someone gets killed - we neither see it nor see them getting attacked which is then described by someone else - big cop-out). This obviously was made on a budget but there were a few good Dino moments, such as when a Dino nose nudges Tim. But it does take a heck of a long time to finally see them, nearly an hour in. A few bad bits of dialogue and acting, but on the whole not worth the slating it's got on here.

Neues Justen If your looking for an movie thats very funny good; don't not watch this one as it is frighteningly and axiting. There is a very pretty femaile lady who fights with a dinosore. She is good at acting; but the cameraman is not a good cameraman, he talks over the lad-y and keeps looking at her bum and brests. The south African is a wolly.This movie was like paranormal activity meets Jurassic park only it wasn't as good as either of those. If you ever get the chance to watch this movie you should probably not do that and do something else...like knitting...or masonry...or catching a delicious bass...or joinery...or shopping for fashion..or fission..or fission for fashion. Probably don't watch this film. But don't just take my word for it, find out for yourselves...was this review helpful?

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.

Lokisgodhi I'm writing this review because the five morons who previously wrote reviews of it evidentially don't know what a found footage film is. A found footage film requires all the participants to have died or disappeared and for the footage to have been discovered later ostensibly by someone not involved in it's filming. This film is presented by surviving members of the party. Therefore this is a mockumentary not a found footage film.To the film.I found the special effects to be of varying quality. I'll assume I'm not spoiling anything be saying this is a dinosaur film. Especially since they have a picture of one emblazoned on the title page here.I found the first few views of the dinosaurs to be questionable. I'm not sure if the were digital or practical effects but the didn't seem especially real to me. As the film went on however the effects seemed to get better. The dinosaurs began looking more realistic. I guess it's a case of on the job training for their creator.As for the script and story. As seems de rigueur for this type of film, there is a certain level of tension and hostility towards one another from the various members of the expedition. When adversity strikes the group they seem to overcome this and work together.The film follows formula in that the dinosaur(s) finally attack the group and start picking off the members of expedition. No surprise there.The acting is okay. How many ways are there to play we've discovered dinosaurs aren't extinct, they're trying to eat us and I'm scared out of my mind? I'm sure no one will be shocked that it's fairly obvious that this film was not filmed in the Amazon. It's a UK production so I'll assume rural UK but it looked a lot like the rural northeast of America where I grew up. Doesn't matter where, it's just obviously not the Amazon. They try to give a exotic feeling with the inclusion of more tropical animals like spiders, scorpions and snakes and a crocodile which doesn't really help.If you're like me and enjoy dinosaur films, watch this. It's not a bad film and it's frankly a fun way to spend the evening while you wait for high budget films in the Jurassic franchise to be released. It's not quite as good as The Dinosaur Project. It's a bit better than Area 407 and much better than the rest of the straight to video dinosaur films I've seen.
