Extinct

About This Movie

So, 'Extinct' is this interesting dive into science fiction from 1995. The premise revolves around a scientist who, in a world ravaged by a plague, decides to time travel back to the age of dinosaurs. He’s searching for this elusive plant that could hold the key to a cure. But things get messy, as the timelines get all jumbled. The atmosphere has this gritty feel, and the practical effects, while maybe not groundbreaking, do bring a certain charm—especially the dino designs. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it has its moments. It’s not just about the adventure; there’s a theme of consequences of meddling with nature that lingers. The performances are solid for a lower-budget flick, giving it a genuine vibe.
