Did you know

- GoofsLate in the film, Mulligan hands Gabriel a SIM card from an old cell-phone. Whilst Mulligan is preparing to go down the shaft, Gabriel puts the card into an SD card reader slot, and views videos of his mother's baby shower. A SIM card is not an SD card.

Featured review
An underrated movie
Captive State is a sci-fi movie directed by Ruper Wyatt who decides to take it easy and tell a completely different story than the typical Hollywood blockbuster. It is in this decision where the film gains strength. But let's be clear, Captive State is not a perfect movie, far from it. But it is an extremely imaginative film, with such intriguing concepts as revolution and aliens. It is a master class that explains how a revolutionary cell operates in a fictitious situation and gives us a thriller that makes us tense at times and intrigues us in others. Despite not having fully explored characters, the film builds an intriguing world with well-shot scenes and an ending that will leave you glued to your seat and asking for more. Captive State is not perfect, but it is definitely a recommendation.
