Extinction (2015)
6/10
Good Movie With Minor Script Issues.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is very emotional and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The only issues I have with the script is at the start of the film. In the beginning the military seems to be escorting survivors of a pandemic that turned people into rabid infectious flesh eating mutants. There were two different buses that halted in the middle of the street. When military personnel on the following bus witness and hear gun fire from military personnel on the leading bus. Here comes the issue: the military men on the following bus radio to the bus infront of them after the gun fire, without a response. Any logical train of thought would've came to the conclusion that everyone was dead on the bus ahead of them. Knowing this, the military personnel on the following bus (which consisted of two men) requested for the driver to open the bus door. When he does one of the two military personnel goes outside and doesn't return for some time. Then the remaining military man requests the driver open the door so he can see what's going on. MAJOR LACK OF COMMON SENSE! This is the only issue I have with the films script.

Other than the shaky beginning, the film is quite well done. The characters are adaptable and have solid background and connections to one another.

I would've easily gave this movie a 7/8 if it wasn't for the start. I recommend it for a watch or two. Not bad.
