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.

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 clearly not much of the budget went into them, as a few desks and fluorescent bulbs with outdated equipment and miles of thin phone lines don't make for a convincing set that apparently needed to draw power from many major cities in many states.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.

This was a another small sci-fi film that had great ideas but a limited budget. The acting was really good and the concepts where intriguing. There are sometime parts of the film where there is a lot of science babble but that felt more because this was not a huge film with big special effects and they need ed to talk about things and couldn't show them.

Had to think about the ending and not too sure what happened. But a great addition to small sci-fi films it felt like a cross between Upstream Color and Flatliners.

Overall good effort complex story (sometimes too complex) and believable acting.

Recently saw this on amazon, pretty good, a lot to take in and a lot of talking about science and the spirt it world. Which makes it great in some parts and a little slow in others. It was obvious that this film was made for very little money but the acting and the presentation were good. The end is a head scratcher but in these type of thinking man films that's good. If you're looking for action and explosions this is not for you but if you like intelligent since fiction this is more what this film is.

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.
