7/10
My Name is Captive State and i am not going to hold your Hand

The Tone of the Movie is dark and grim from start to finish. No light Moments, no silly jokes, no plotarmor.

Conversations are the bare minimum and the story keeps itself always in focus of what it wants to tell you.

Aliens took over the World but the true enemies we see in the movie are most of the time the willing helpers and traitors of their own kind, other Humans.

But keep in mind, this is not an action movie.

The story follows several members of an underground unit that tries to get something done against the aliens and their human accomplices.

The plot is not realy predictable, the tone and music is concistent and fits the theme very good.

The Movie has a bit of 1984, Equilibrium, V and children of men.

Just tiny bits of each, put together in a refreshing way.

I dont say it reachs the same level like one or the other, depending of your likings. But it sure was entertaining.

I´m not gonna say anything else about the plot and the twist, experience that yourself.

One thing is for sure. It was a pleasent surprise and deserve a better score than 6/10.

I want more Movies that treat me like a thinking person who can put 1+1 together by myself and not a braindead drone like most of todays Hollywood Movies.

Worth a watch.
