Captive State

2019 · 1h 50m · Science Fiction, Action, Thriller

IMDb 6.0 Metacritic 54 RT 42%

Captive State has an intriguing premise about alien occupation as a metaphor for authoritarianism, but the critics weren't convinced — and the mixed scores suggest muddled execution. Skip it tonight unless you're a die-hard sci-fi completist willing to wade through mediocre reviews for a concept that sounds better in theory.

Plot

Nearly a decade after occupation by an extraterrestrial force, the lives of a Chicago neighborhood on both sides of the conflict are explored. In a working-class Chicago neighborhood occupied by an alien force for nine years, increased surveillance and the restriction of civil rights have given rise to an authoritarian system -- and dissent among the populace.
