I find it ironic that this film was shot in Serbia, a country whose existence was partly borne out of committing genocide.Peter (Michael Pena) is having nightmares that Earth is going to be invaded by aliens. His behaviour and actions make him seem odd and his wife Alice (Lizzy Caplan) is concerned about him.Then the aliens attack and everybody on Earth need to fight for their lives. Peter is shocked that one of the captured alien looks human. When Alice is seriously wounded, the captured alien offers to help fix her.This Netflix movie looks cheap, a large portion of the film is shot in the dark. The CGI looks dicey. It really is a made for television film.As a sci fi action film it below par, at least the screenplay has a twist to give the movie an Isaac Asimov type substance to it. It does not all add up but at least the second half is an improvement on the derivative first half of the movie.
EXTINCTION is a new-to-Netflix sci-fi thriller starring Michael Pena as a family man who finds himself striving to protect his family from an alien invasion. The first thing I thought when sticking this film on is that it was a complete copy of SKYLINE and I'm afraid that feeling never left me. However, EXTINCTION is a second-rate SKYLINE and lacks that low budget movie's suspense and excitement. This time around, the protagonist dreams of the impending alien invasion, scenes which merely pad out the first half an hour. Then some cliched action scenes take place, typically involving bad CGI explosions. Later, there's a big twist, but it's hardly surprising and it means that the last third of the film gets bogged down in exposition which is rather tiresome. Pena seems to work best in Hollywood when paired with other actors and he struggles to convince as the lead here, although it's amusing to see Lizzy Caplan battling invading aliens again after CLOVERFIELD.

Peter (Michael Peña) has recurring nightmares about an alien invasion. His sleep-depraved wife Alice (Lizzy Caplan) asks him to get help. Then his nightmares start coming true.This Netflix flick is better than most sci-fi B-movies. The reveal of the aliens is not unexpected. From Peter hacking the gun, I figured something along that line to be revealed about the aliens. The big twist has a Twilight Zone feel and very reminiscent of Isaac Asimov. The extra bit where Peter and the others don't remember the reality of their situation is very problematic. The explanation at the end about the lost of their memories is weak. It has to contort to fit the story and it doesn't have to. They should know who they are. The twist should be a shock to the audience but there's no need for it to be a shock to them. The story would work infinitely better to play it without that bit.
Suggestively, some of the most engaging strengths of Racing Extinction also serve as points for analyzing the ecological ideologies, overt and latent, at work in the film. In particular, the film contains fundamental ideological contradictions concerning its use of aesthetic discourse on natural beauty, its presentation of activists, and its celebration of the power of media to inform and inspire. To begin, take the rapturously gorgeous ocean and forest visual footage that dominates the early half of the film but that is consistently threaded throughout. Scene after scene, sequence after sequence, Racing Extinction provides viewers glimpses of places on the planet many people never experience firsthand. And the masterful cinematography and editing makes these captivating. We see whales and dolphins, alone and in groups, at times comingling with human beings in the water. We see manta rays and sharks moving gracefully. In the realm of wildlife films, Racing Extinction presents some of the highest quality visuals to date. Such scenes are frequently paired with voice-over narration by Louie Psihoyos or the featured scientists and activists, and their remarks often invoke beauty and the aesthetic dimension to describe their encounters with the non-human beings on screen as well as their environs. As such, one of the primary arguments the film makes to persuade viewers to care about mass extinction and take action to ameliorate it is for the sake of the beauty, the aesthetic qualities, of the non-human species that are in peril.
Substantively, Racing Extinction somewhat overstates its own scope in presenting itself as a comprehensive look at mass extinction in the Anthropocene. The film does a better job of examining the illegal wildlife trade in marine animals in Asia than presenting a complex treatment of global biodiversity loss. While the active investigation of the illegal wildlife trade by the Racing Extinction team is no doubt a compelling storyline, its orientation as the central thread of the documentary has the effect of elevating the importance of the traditional Chinese medicine as a driver of biodiversity loss relative to greater forces such as habitat loss and invasive species. Psihoyos does good work in presenting climate change as a contemporary cause of extinction, but the film struggles to connect the unfolding Asian wildlife trade story with these broader conversations. The film does distinguish between direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss, leaving educators the opportunity to expand upon the complexity, interconnectedness, and relative importance of drivers through class conversations.
