New trailer for Netflix's latest sci-fi thriller.
Netflix taking sci-fi movies off the hands of doubtful studios is becoming a trend, with the streaming service acquiring The Cloverfield Paradox and Annihilation from Paramount, who felt neither had sufficient box office appeal.
Originally slated for a January release by Universal, sci-fi thriller Extinction now heads to Netflix on July 27th.
The film, directed by Hounds of Love's Ben Young, stars Michael Peña as a father whose recurring nightmares come true when earth is invaded by a malevolent force. Lizzy Caplan, Mike Colter, Lilly Aspell, Emma Booth, Israel Broussard, Erica Tremblay and Lex Shrapnel also star.

The official synopsis reads:
A father has a recurring dream of losing his family. His nightmare turns into reality when the planet is invaded by a force bent on destruction. Now, fighting for their lives, he comes to realize an unknown strength to keep them safe from harm.
