Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"CAPTIVE STATE certainly boasts atmosphere to spare, with director of photography Alex Disenhof following the dystopian sci-fi movie playbook by filming everything in a bluish-grey, monochromatic palette..." - 03/15/2019 Hollywood Reporter
"There’s an appropriate and effective lo-fi look and feel to the way Wyatt and his ace production team depict everyday life under occupation in Chicago nine years after the extraterrestrials arrived, demanded unconditional surrender, and forced all nations on Earth to disarm and disband armies." - 03/14/2019 Variety
3 stars out of 5 -- "Rupert Wyatt’s science-fiction movie is less interested in futuristic spectacle and more in the human drama of what happens after the bad guys win." - 03/17/2019 Rolling Stone
"Wyatt and his production team do an admirable job of plunging us into a futuristic version of Chicago in which an alien spaceship that looks like a giant arrowhead occasionally takes off from its perch..." - 03/15/2019 Chicago Sun-Times
