About This Movie

So, 'Ex-tinct' takes us on a wild ride with this caveman who somehow lands in a future where he’s not just a relic, but part of an extinct species park.

The animation has this charming, hand-drawn feel, and the practical effects really stand out, especially in how they bring the park to life. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it captures that whimsical adventure vibe. The performances are surprisingly heartfelt, especially from the family dealing with the chaos the caveman brings into their lives. It’s quirky for sure, and that’s what makes it a noteworthy watch.

Interest in 'Ex-tinct' has grown due to its quirky premise and the nostalgia it evokes, making it a curious piece for those who enjoy animated adventures with a twist.
