''Extinction'' is the sort of play you've seen before -- in nearly everything by Neil LaBute, in Stephen Belber's ''Tape,'' in Sam Shepard's ''True West.'' Still, there's something intriguing going on here. After all, just because the story uses many of the same moves doesn't mean it can't pack a punch. In ''Extinction'' two 30-something friends, Max and Finn, reunite in Atlantic City for one of their periodic hard-partying weekends. In the type of contrast irresistible to novelists and playwrights, Max is a slick, hell-raising man-child with little thought for the future, while Finn has become reflective as he settles into an academic career.
