Extinct

This movie gives off the vibes of Blue Sky films, fun, lighthearted and sweet. Although it's not the best I've seen, it's a good family movie that you should give a watch if you need something new to watch.

As weird as this movie is, it made sense in the plot. But I feel as if it fell so short of something that would have been better.

The voice actors were fitting for their characters, however it felt as if they were just kind of calling it in in the parts that really needed that extra kick!

I have watched this movie all the way thru because the plot was interesting enough to keep going along. The movie itself felt like it took forever to get thru.

Now don't get me wrong, there is a plot twist. It did really take me by surprise because I was really thinking what it was trying to lead me. After that the movie sped up quite quickly. As if it should have been brought up earlier in the film. Something about it felt like pulling a fargo with the countdown.

Basically it feels like they put too much time for the build-up, but not enough time into the execution.

I really don't know what to say about this movie. It has good voice actors but the characters are average, it has ok animation but the story/plot was weird.

I didn't know anything going into this, so I was questioning lots of stuff that was happening and wondering what was going on.

I didn't find it that funny and the villain was just there at the end as a last minute thing with a rushed backstory.

Also the film just kinda ends without making sense. So I wasn't that interested in this movie and probably wouldn't watch it again.

I sat down to watch the 2021 animated movie "Extinct" with my 11 year old son, and I have to say that we were both adequately entertained by what writers Joel H. Cohen, John Frink and John Frink managed to come up with for the story told here.

Now, the storyline told in "Extinct" was rather good, lots of nice details to the storyline, and also a good amount of comedy added to supplement the storyline itself. And there was an abundance of likeable characters throughout the course of the story.

Visually then "Extinct" was good. There were nice details to be seen in the scenes, and lots of unique characters and locations, which definitely added to the overall enjoyment of "Extinct".

With "Extinct" being an animated movie, then having a proper voice cast ensemble is a thing that can make or break the success of the project. And I will say that they definitely had put together a good ensemble for "Extinct", with the likes of Adam Devine, Ken Jeong, Rachel Bloom, Zazie Beetz, Jim Jefferies, Henry Winkler and others.

I found "Extinct" to be enjoyable, as did my 11 year old son, so directors David Silverman and Raymond S. Persi definitely made something with appeal to all ages.

My rating of "Extinct" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Take "ice age" - you know, goofy animals struggling to prevent their own extinction. Cute it up with some furry creatures looking like mascots for a toilet seat company (to be fair, they are pretty cute). Let them travel in time until something goes terribly wrong. Spice it up with random appearances of people like Ernest Shackleton, the antarctic explorer, and you've got "Extinct".

The animations are colourful and fresh. The story seems unnecessarily complicated, but it's still catchy most of the time. The pacing is like most kids movies nowadays: fast and furious. The humour is silly and will appeal to kids at the age of 6 to 9, I guess.
