Alerta Extinción (Cold Storage) Opens in Theaters to Divided Early Reviews

The release leans on a high‑concept biothreat premise with recognizable leads to court broad audiences.

Overview

  • Early coverage splits between pans from LA NACION, which faults logic and tone, and endorsements from Clarín and La Crónica, which call it entertaining genre fare.
  • Directed by Jonny Campbell from David Koepp’s screenplay adapting his own novel, the film stars Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, Liam Neeson and Vanessa Redgrave.
  • The story follows two storage‑facility employees who uncover a government‑buried extraterrestrial fungus that begins to spread as a fast‑moving contagion.
  • Argentina screenings roll out with Imagem Films distributing, a 99‑minute runtime and a SAM 13 rating, with listings at major chains including Cinemark, Hoyts, Cinépolis and Showcase.
  • Regional dates continue to surface, with El Comercio noting a February 5 theatrical opening in Peru.
