[movie] - Captive State

Post by Daehawk »

Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict - the collaborators and dissidents.

In an alternate universe, Captive State is basically a sequel to every alien invasion movie ever. In our universe, humans always win in the end—but in this universe, they didn’t. Humans were beaten. The film picks up a decade later.

Directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Captive State stars John Goodman and Vera Farmiga, neither of whom make much of an impression in this new trailer. What does make an impression though are the ideas of an oppressive government, the public being lied to, and a band of people trying to rise up against it, including Moonlight star Ashton Sanders.

The trailer makes it feel like They Live meets meets V meets Cloverfield. If John Goodman gets in a fist fight with Vera Farmiga over who gets to eat the rat, I'm sold!

If aliens invade, we're probably screwed. The sheer technological achievement to move from wherever they were to where we are would be amazing. Safer to join our new overlords. :ninja:
