Extinct

This is a decent low budget series, it's very mediocre. Nothing stands out as very good or very bad, I've managed to finish it just fine, though I didn't enjoy the attempt of an ending cliff hanger.

The script is open to plot holes but tries to cover them pretty good. Some actors are not up to par, but the editing is what makes this low budget, and maybe the lack of background music. Scenery is scarce, same with special effects.

Might be a bit too long, because the deeper it gets inside the main plot the more boring it becomes and some things seem forced.

I say give it a try, some of you might enjoy it.

Almost all the actors are young. I suppose this is an attempt to draw younger audience to BYUTV. However, most of them do a pretty good job. A couple are a little stiff. Overall, what it lacks in production value it makes up for in clever storytelling. Great job of incorporating principles such as force, free will, and liberty and that freedom is worth fighting for! I can't wait for season two!

I watched the episodes of Extinct available on BYU-TV on my Roku. The pilot was a bit weak, and had one moment in particular that was cringe inducing but the rest of it has been very good.

Matthew Bellows as Jax has definitely made the series better by being a believable villain.

Better than most of the garbage on the Sci-Fi network.

Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, so I was looking forward to the release of this series. I approach this category with an eye to good special effects, interesting tech, and decent acting. I feel these bases are covered fairly well. I was actually surprised by the high quality of some of the FX. The actors all seem committed to their performances. I left off 2 stars because there's certainly room for improvement. Overall definitely worth watching and recommending to others.

BYUTV cancelled this excellent show on a cliff hanger, telling us that they would explain why, but didn't bother. Another shabby treatment of viewers by a network. I would expect this from SyFy, but not a tiny network like BYUTV which needs all the viewers it can get. Shame on you!
