Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe countdown audio leading up to Commissioner Igoe's descent (1:10 into the movie) and up to Mulligan's descent (near the end of the movie) is the actual audio from the countdown of the launch of Apollo 11, in 1969.
- 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.
- Quotes
Kermode: [on the resistance] They don't exist
William Mulligan: [snorts] That's what they said about aliens
- Crazy creditsDuring the beginning of the end credits, a map of the world is shown with listed locations where human rebellions have achieved victory against the aliens, across America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Featured review
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.
