The Capture

Saw this on amazon prime. Interesting concept and intriguing characters. It's obviously not a big budget film but the interaction between the main characters is pretty good. They all have different perspectives on what to do about the strange situation they find themselves in and none of them seem to be right or wrong.

Loved that the girl from the Descent was in this.

This film has a very cool concept. It's about a guide of the dead being brought to the real world and gets stuck there. What happens after that is also interesting. It plays in the world of twilight zone and black mirror. The actors are all good and the story is too. Some of the sets look like they didn't spend a lot of money on them but the overall vibe and feel of the film keep me going with it.

Good little sci-fi film.

The Capture gripped me early, but the further into the movie it got the more the grip was loosened and by the end it had thoroughly lost me.

It tells the story of a group of scientists who use risky, questionably immoral and dangerous methods to break space and time to find out what truly happens when you die. Is there an afterlife? Are all the reports of angelic entities at places of mass death true?

Based almost entirely in one location with a 3 person cast it plays it's low budget well and delivers a fairly original concept. Sadly what it doesn't do is provide you with a competent payoff, the finale is really quite weak.

Considering the movie tries so hard with it's pseudo-science to come across smart the ending demonstrates a lack of intellect and common sense.

It is very frustrating when an interesting movie fails to wrap things up well and ultimately it kills the entire film.

Nice ideas, failed execution.

The Good:

Solid concept

Convincing premise

Fittingly moody tense atmosphere

The Bad:

Too short

Finale is an utter failure

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Short tattoo sleeves on girls can look fantastic

But still liked the film. It puts out there a lot of sci-fi questions about life and death and what else is out there that we don;t understand. It features three scientist who have done something horrible and now have to fix wha their experiment has done to possibly the world and the the otherworld.

Good acting and interesting concepts even though the end was a little weird.

It is a different, but that is in this genre. The movie has some miner points. I think if they made the movie 10 minutes longer, they got more out of it. But they did very well and just a 5 average I think is a bit low.

I get the drawback because lack of character development, but it is needed.

Please give it a chance I did enjoy it a lot more than I would expect.
