It is a series of events that reflect the science fiction that took place in a Chicago neighborhood a decade later. Over a period of time, this Chicago neighborhood was subjected to a strange power and fell into the grip of an extraterrestrial force. After a long period of time, this film explores the events and paths that have taken place in this district through both sides of the conflict - collaborators and opponents in an exciting way.

The interesting ideas and "trust no one" atmosphere, sadly, cannot save CAPTIVE STATE.

Goodman, Dunn and Farmiga play even the more ridiculous elements straight, as if they're in a cop movie. The younger actors are all terrific as well.

Unfortunately, character development is perfunctory and unsatisfactory. We're watching a bunch of pawns on a filmmaker's chessboard.

Overall it's a mess, compounded by murky CGI and some unrealistic performances.

The central plot development...is galvanizing in theory but mostly just confusing in practice.

A cinematic Trojan horse, 'Captive State' promises to be an exciting thriller, but proves stodgy and dull.

It's a shame that its studio didn't more heavily market Captive State. Smart, layered, tense, well-executed sci-fi like this should be nurtured in movie theaters.

It's noise without structure, movement without direction, plot without story.

The premise seems timely and provocative, but rarely does that translate to consistent suspense.

The first major surprise of 2019, Rupert Wyatt's sleeper is an uncommonly smart piece of science fiction that, like all great genre pieces, has a potent subtext.
March 15, 2019
An unsatisfying potluck of quasi-relevant, frustration-inducing ideas.

It's really rather impressive, the extent to which Captive State sucks everything even potentially fun out of the alien-invasion genre.
