Estinti... o quasi

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.

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.

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.

It was sort of decent then pretty dumb, why did the other animals not try to be unextinct. The twist absolutely stupid. Why does China hate dogs which appears to be the message.

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.
