Extinction

Extinction (2018) is Ben Young's sci-fi action thriller, free to watch online on iFILM. Factory engineer Peter keeps dreaming that an enemy descends from the sky.

The visions of fire and ruin drain him, hurt his work and worry his wife Alice (Lizzy Caplan). Everyone blames stress; his boss sends him to a clinic. Then the sky over the city really does light up. Invaders land, and Peter's nightmares match the carnage outside frame for frame. Michael Peña plays an ordinary man suddenly forced to get his two daughters through the chaos alive.

Young structures the story so that a mid-film turn rewrites everything you thought you understood, which is why the details are best discovered cold. Released straight to Netflix, the film rewards viewers who want science fiction with a catch rather than plain alien gunfights. Stream Extinction (2018) online on iFILM.
