Extinction
A laggard for delayed sci - fi dramaExtinctionhas finally landed ahead of the picture show ’s debut on Netflix this July . Extinctionstars Michael Peña ( Ant - Man And The Wasp ) as Peter , a family man who has recurring dreams about an invade alien power that arrives and starts to wipe out human beings . Naturally , his family unit and friends - including Lizzy Caplan andLuke Cage’sMike Colter - chalk this up to tension , but when the invasion starts materialise for real , Peter may be their only hope .
It ’s an intriguing frame-up - even if it ’s not a completely original one . Extinctionwas pulled from Universal ’s release slate with little fanfare in 2017 , with no newfangled passing date forthcoming . It was later announced Netflix had bought the form of address . While Universal deciding to deal the movie is n’t necessarily a sign of the zodiac of its quality , it does suggest the studio was implicated about its chance commercially . Paramount famously pulled a like tactic when they were worriedThe Cloverfield Paradoxwould bomb if released in cinemas and trade it to Netflix as a eminent - profile sole . While the reviews were very mixed , the hoopla around its sudden press release consider it reach high viewing figure .

Hopefully , that wo n’t be the case withExtinction , whose house trailer was released by Netflix , and boasts a peachy cast with a potentially rich news report setup . After years of stealing scenery in films star other performers , it ’s nice to see Peña get a luck to moderate a big movie , and the prevue features a couple of tense set pieces . It also looks a little lower budget than the average blockbuster , however , and it does n’t really have a ‘ must - see ’ lineament either . Take a look at the poster forExtinctionas well :
In truth , Universal was probably just playing it safe by draw the project on to Netflix , which has become a haven for other studio apartment orphan movies . The same matter happened with sci - fi activity movieSpectraland to a lesser extent with Natalie Portman’sAnnihilation . While that movie got a domestic release it went straight to Netflix worldwide , but it still meet great followup , and may well be regarded as a next classic of the writing style .
Time will tell what the verdict will be onExtinction , but Netflix continues to reign supreme as a brand . WithBright , they boldly announced their move into the blockbuster business - which is paying off nicely for them - and the streaming giant is expect to have spent over$12 billionon grow content in 2018 alone .
