Atom User Reviews for Captive State
One hour and 49 minutes I will never get back! Some critics stated it was “incoherent.” I agree.
Don’t waste your time, this is easily the most unfulfilling movie I’ve ever seen. It’s like watching a single TV show episode, and you missed every episode before and you don’t get to see any episodes after. Seriously, who would make a movie this sucky?
There's not many reviews out, but I'd recommend watching Captive State. Chicago is the perfect backdrop for a dystopian sci-fi movie, and the movie plays out like an extended Black Mirror episode.
It has little action scenes and is more of a drama. But interesting storyline.
Definitely kept me thinking
Terrible ending, like they ran out of money. Could have been so much more, way to secretive until the end. And never recovered. An unbelievable waste of time. Almost as bad as the perfect storm.
Trash movie
Too many tangents
Took 4eva to get to da point, plus movie was GARBAGE!!!
Fairly good movie. Majority is an police investigation in a sci-fi setting. The music and setting reminds me of videos games like half life 2. Sci-fi fans give it a go! Really isn’t as bad as some people rated
so bad
Definitely creepy and interesting
Need money back
Ending was lame, gave me motion sickness cuz of how they filmed it and would not see it again.
If you wanna waste your time wait til it's on free tv.
Trash
great ending!!!
Silly, slow and all over the place describes this movie. A total waste of time. The only decent moment was the twist at the end. Save your money and make better use of your time.
Won’t soon forget
Good actors just confusing at times.
A little strange, like they only did a movie based on the last section of a book, and only gave you a list of what happened previously.
Slow; tried to keep up but made no since.
i get it , hoping for more of and epic ending
A lot of really boring nothing followed by 5 minutes of action
I have no idea what the plot of the movie was, even today...
This tops Serenity as the worst movie I’ve ever seen.
I wanted to like it. I thought it was hard to understand and I wasn’t the only one as people around me could be heard asking what is going on and did I miss something?? It was portrayed in trailers to be different and it was not what I expected at all. I felt like it kept…
confusing, boring and not what i thought.
Metacritic
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.
The film might have better performed if it consisted of more than a smattering of good but relatively isolated ideas.
