Review of Captive State (2019) by Grantd243 — 04 Sep 2019

The marketing for this film was quite deceiving and I think hurt it quite a bit with general audiences, but I enjoyed it a lot. The first 20 minutes or so feel a little unfocused, but once it reaches the second act it starts to put things together and inches towards a climax that I found to be highly satisfying.

Do not go into this film expecting a ton of action and aliens. The presence of the aliens is felt, but they are hardly ever seen. This is a low budget sci-fi thriller, and a damn good one at that.
