The Capture

It started out strong. It was interesting for the most part, but man toward the end, it just literally drops off and is ruined by that ending. The characters were all interesting and seemed appropriate in their roles, even though the girl is easy to hate.

Really, it felt like they were making a movie, ran out of money and just called it good before finishing it. It's too bad, it had potential with an interesting idea.

I saw this on amazonObviously low budget but had interesting ideas. Had to pay attention a few ties to follow storyline. A group of scientists are working on proving there is an afterlife and they succeed but things don't go as planned.

Of course bad things happen. Has some slow moments but picked up in the last 10 mins. if you like sci-fi that is about concepts and ideas and not big special effects you'll enjoy this film. If you're looking for explosions and robots you won't like it.

Many of the critiques are from self-professed critics who base the quality of the film primarily on special effects. I surmise that they gain some affirmation here, whilst in reality they work low grade, basic jobs. They seek importance. Watch the movie if you care to think, otherwise the Transformers film is screening in the room down the hall. If you want to see people "acting" and do not need explosions to be entertained, you may remain here.

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.

Novice filmmaker Jim Agnew makes his directorial debut in a film he also wrote, and clearly made on a shoestring budget - and succeeded.

His directing was actually quite good, and although the writing had some plot issues, it was still creative and interesting.

The acting was spot on by all cast, and the cinematography was on point. I felt the pace was a little slow, even for the short 78 min length, and that perhaps this should have been edited down with a faster pace to a short film of about 40 mins.

The score was also fairly decent and apropriate but felt out of place in a few scenes. My main issue was the sets... clearly not much of the budget went into them, as a few desks and fluorescent bulbs with outdated equipment and miles of thin phone lines don't make for a convincing set that apparently needed to draw power from many major cities in many states.

Nevertheless, for a very low budget C-grade film with B-list actors, this was a fun little sci-fi. A well deserved 8/10 from me.
