Les Bouchetrous

To be fair, this was one of my favourite netflix movies not long ago. The characters (most of them) are pretty good, the villain is easily hated, and most of it makes sense. I love the revenge story behind the villain, and thought the storyline was ok, not top notch, but still, yet it wasn't too hard to find some flaws.

Firstly, the animation could have been better. Charles Darwin looks like a monkey, some of the animals are hideous and unbelievable and the humans (in which there are very few, thank goodness), are even worse.

While I do enjoy this movie, I think the ending got too complicated. The makers need to simplify it for the young kids. Some of the characters make unwise and even stupid decisions, others hated the main characters for no real reason and I felt like some of them even abandoned their personalities completely.

So I give it six stars because although it was really interesting, funny and the story was mostly pretty good, the animation could have been better, the ending simplified and the characters needed to be more believable.

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.

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.

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.

A new animated venture. Extinct is born from a blend of different films like the croods or iceage and though you cannot compare them it still has all the hallmarks of a film like that. Silly goffy and family friendly fun is what this movie offers and it has an interesting story. These two doughnut creatures travel though time and findout their species will go extinct. So our heros have to find a way to prevent the problem. Adam devine and racheal bloom provide the voices of ed and op. Our heros theres also great voices like winkler, and catherine o hara. They all do well and its an interesting film to watch, overall a very good animated film.
