Extinction – Netflix
Michael Peña’s new Netflix Original movie is due for release in July 2018. We’ve got everything you need to know about the upcoming movie including the trailer, release date, casting, posters, plot and more.
The movie comes from Paramount studios who have pulled three of their sci-fi titles from cinemas in 2018 and Netflix has managed to pick up two of them. The first movie released by Paramount exclusively on Netflix was Cloverfield which released at the 2018 Superbowl. Netflix was also rumored to get the new Transformers movie but that’s since been rebooted as the new Bumblebee movie.
The new movie comes off as a standard alien invasion movie. The twist in this movie is that the shows main star sees a vision of what’s about to happen.
Here’s the synopsis from Netflix: “A father has a recurring dream of losing his family. His nightmare turns into reality when the planet is invaded by a force bent on destruction. Now, fighting for their lives, he comes to realize an unknown strength to keep them safe from harm.”

Netflix have been bombing, unfortunately, with science fiction lately but this one looks pretty decent. The "dreams" angle is kinda new I guess. Gonna keep an eye on it. #Extinction #Netflix https://t.co/ufLihQheMJ
