Extinction
is a movie starring
Matthew Fox, Jeffrey Donovan, and Quinn McColgan.
And suddenly, overnight, the world came to a halt. Two men, two survivors, one kid, and hatred that separates them. A place forgotten by everyone, including the creatures that inhabit the Earth... until now.
Nine years after an infection turns most of the humanity into rabid creatures, Patrick, Jack and Lu, a nine-year-old girl, survive in seeming peace and calm in the forgotten snow-covered town of Harmony. We nonetheless sense that something terrible happened between Patrick and Jack because a deep hate keeps them apart. When the infected appear again, Patrick and Jack will have to leave behind all rancor to protect the one being who means more to them than anything else.
The movie was at one time titled "welcome to Harmony" which was the name of the town they were in. See more »

Quotes
Lu:
What about geography? Did you know about geography? Let's see. In what country is the Great Wall of China?
Patrick:
[acting]
Oh, gosh. Uh, Mexico.
Lu:
Nope. China. And do you know what language they speak there?
Patrick:
[pretending to think]
Uh... Chinese.
Lu:
Very good. And do you know what the population is?
Patrick:
Right now?
[Jack snorts, Patrick chuckles in response and the two begin to laugh]
Lu:
[confused]
What is it? What's so funny? Why are you laughing?
[Patrick and John are laughing harder]
Patrick:
Oh, shit.

I've been compelled to write this review after reading the former ones. As this film is quite remarkable in many things I can only understand the very bad reviews as spurious stuff. Why I say that comes below: Very good performances. Matthew Fox, Jeffrey Donovan and the girl Quinn McColgan are perfect in their work. You really get into the movie with them. There's always a narrative nerve that never decays. The photography is usually evocative. The characters are elaborated and likely. They evolve as the screenplay unfolds. The movie is, in general, entertaining and the action scenes are well filmed. Maybe is not the most original sci-fi movie but no doubt it's a more than decent one.
