Alien at the Movies

Extinction 

Building maintenance engineer Peter (Michael Peña) has blackouts & reoccurring nightmares about lights in the night’s sky & an invasion attack by some unknown beings. As he & his family host a dinner party with neighbors, his nightmares become reality. Now he must fight to protect his family & friends as they try to escape to a safe haven. Was he having premonitions? Who are these attackers? It feels like “War of the Worlds” as many mysterious spaceships blast the city & armed ground forces make door to door searches. There is plenty of exciting action as Peter’s family work their way to a possible safety at a government facility. Then there comes the twist that I️ did not see coming. 

Alien gives it 2½ “tunnel” stars out of 4.
