Captain

It's a daring attempt from director to show our audience something new, atleast we should appreciate his efforts,he has been experimenting with his films,all his past works are like this, zombie movie called miruthan,space movie called tik tik tik, and a movie with talking teddy bear, i really enjoy his works,kudos to Arya for trying something new every time,it's an Indian version of predator but this story has emotional side as well,it's predictable at some parts but it's not that worst as so called critics mentioned, if we don't encourage this kind of films there won't be anything new for us to watch in future, keeping everyone's opinion aside i recommend everyone to watch this atleast once in order to encourage the efforts made by the team.

Firstly, after watching the trailer, I personally thought this was not going to be a such an interesting movie as in, it's just gonna be a bunch of VFX and a lack of a story. But, to my surprise, after watching the movie, it wasn't really that bad. In fact, it was way better than what I expected.

The VFX was really good except for the climax where it was like watching it in 144p. The plot line was above average. It was a different approach from Kollywood with a little bit of twist and turns. Last but not least, Arya's acting was good here as a Military Captain. Not to forget, even that creature "Minotaur" acted really well in the movie and had more scenes than the heroine ;).

After all, this is a movie you can watch if you are into these creature based genre and also small children will enjoy this definitely.

We watched the film with the hope of being amazed but the visual effects, script, and acting, sadly, worked against the film

DELICIOUS

-Big up to the casting director for selecting the right faces for the right roles; we loved Vetri's team, their looks complemented each other. And the General (Adithya Menon) was tall, dark, and robust 😍

-The story was intriguingly told through the 4 stages of battle: Identify the enemy, fight the enemy, find out the enemy's weakness, and deceive the enemy. As these stages were constantly reiterated, they became good reference points to understand where the movie was headed

-Aishwarya Lekshmi, as always, was graceful. Though making a brief appearance, she left an unforgettable mark with the gentle touch she added

-So, minotaurs, in Greek mythology, represented the primal fear of the unknown in the mind of humans, and what Captain did so well was using minotaurs to point Vetri and his team to the greater enemy they were unaware of

BLAND

-The visual effects were the major downfall. The minotaurs, gunshot wounds, and other CGI elements appeared very fake to the extent that it was disengaging. Images looked grainy and lighting wasn't properly controlled in some scenes

-There was way too much music than necessary :(

-The cast couldn't accurately portray their emotions, e.g. When Vetri and his team were struck by the minotaurs, they immediately recovered from pain within a few minutes

-The screenplay lacked a lot of logic like how did Vetri quickly believed in the existence of minotaurs? If gunshots couldn't hurt minotaurs, why still use guns?

-Overall, Captain didn't invite us; we just watched without being transported into the story.

Maybe the concept and storytelling is on par, but the acting and *CGI* combined render the movie an absolute garbage! Don't waste your time, dear reader.

When you opt to make sci-fi movie like this, the GCI segment shall get the highest priority, and everything else comes second. We don't actually expect top-notch logic or drama of in such movies!

Unfortunately, the CGI of this movie looks cartoonist at best and poor of uncannily horrible proportions. It is an absolute waste of money and opportunity.

If you cannot finance it properly, don't make it - don't waste our valuable time and don't make a mockery of sci-fi movies!

Not sure why the movie is so underrated.

Has a good plot. Doesn't have anything to do with predator movie. Its a different story line and no aliens.

Has good strong storyline and some of the things they have shown in low budget is good except for the graphics.

Down side: Music was a real let down. Its just like some Tamil serial music.

Graphics are super bad might be bcz or the budget constraint.

Bit of heroics here and there that's literally unavoidable in any tamil movies

If one can overlook the graphics for the story it has it would be a decent movie. It is atleast a one time watch and better than some of the other sci fi movies like mirugan and tik tik tik.
