After seeing some not too kind reviews I thought I'd give this a try as it was on Sky Movies. Firstly it seems a lot of people here don't know what the definition of FOUND FOOTAGE films is. Just because it is filmed partially on a video-camera from a first person perspective does not mean it falls in that genre. Found footage would be when some undiscovered reels of film are found and the film adventure is set off thereupon. OK?? Anyway although probably 10 minutes too long and with some irritating characters (principally Tim) I have to say I was fairly impressed with the dinosaurs themselves (don't expect T-Rexes) which were a step up from the usual guff offered by Crocosaurus and the like. There are also some poor emissions from the scenes (someone gets killed - we neither see it nor see them getting attacked which is then described by someone else - big cop-out). This obviously was made on a budget but there were a few good Dino moments, such as when a Dino nose nudges Tim. But it does take a heck of a long time to finally see them, nearly an hour in. A few bad bits of dialogue and acting, but on the whole not worth the slating it's got on here.

We need to know, this film is a Series B. For a B Movie with a low budget its a great movie. Have a nice history, a lot of suspense, a acting is acceptable, and have some good visual and audio effects. Overall its enjoyable and for people that love movies like Blair witch, clover field, rec , its similar. For a B movie its a 9 or 10. The camera Angles, focus, the lighting, its very good, causes some ansious and makes the experience more real to the spectator. ITs not a Jurassic Park movie, but the review of 3/4 are very poor. The Films have a many parts of action, some little humor, maybe we will see a second movie. Cheers

This is a strangely watchable movie. It is found footage and follows the genre quite faithfully. But is has an element of tongue in cheek about it that brings a slight attraction.The hero, strangely enough, is the cameraman who is brought in as a last minute substitute on a very BBC-like documentary project. Strange because he is a complete nob; inappropriate, crass and somewhat stupid, but at the same time with the innocence of an everyman. And because of that he is strangely likable - probably because we all unfortunately have a friend like him somewhere in our circle.So when faced with a completely impossible situation in the jungle, he acts like most of us probably would - trying to shout quietly, leaving the camera light on in dangerous times, having a dangerously daft curiosity and other very believable stuff.It's not going to beat out Jurassic World for quality CGI and in-your-face-believable-graphics, and the jungle looks suspiciously like friendly English woodlands, but I could empathise, and that for me was enough for a couple of hours.

Oh another found footage film ! When you've seen one you've them all and you can only judge them on how scary the scary moments are . To be honest the only film in this sub-genre was GRAVE ENCOUNTERS that impressed me simply because because the scares were genuine . That said EXTINCTION does sound fairly intriguing because it's a British film that involves a scientific expedition to the Amazon jungle and from what I could gather from the location guide on this page it was filmed in Wales ! The Welsh valleys doubling for a South American jungle. This should be interesting To be fair to director Adam Spinks and the production team do their utmost best to conceal the fact that the location is more Celtic than Latin . They do this filming everything in woodland and as someone who has done a lot of travelling one clump of trees looks very much like another clump of trees no matter where you are in the world and it doesn't necessarily equate heat and blazing sunshine are connected . Just get the cast to wear shorts and tee-shirts and if you've got a cute actress in the shape of Sarah Mac running around all hot and sweaty no red blooded male viewer is going to complain . But Spinks goes further and involves animals such as boa constrictors and big hairy tarantulas which adds to the illusion . The only thing that doesn't work is the reptile monsters themselves which aren't really convincing and isn't helped by having them appearing on screen a bit too long . There is also an annoying aspect of jump cut editing that draws your attention to the fact that it isn't found footage in the true sense . But if someone who enjoys the found footage genre you'll probably enjoy this one
