Captain

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.

One Predator is enough to destroy humans but here you will find more than 10 aliens/ Predators aka Monsters, all those looks so cheap like they are imported from China. The story is pathetic and screenplay is boring, nothing looks original. It seems trainee CGI and graphics students worked in the movie. Even the guns used in movie looks like toy. Its totally waste of time and money. Such movie needs thrilling elements which are completely missing in film. I feel even the shaktiman serial was better than the movie. All actors looked so kiddish and nothing worked for the movie. This movie should be avoided.

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.

*** Captain Movie Review****

Directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan...

Starring Aryan, Simran , Kavita Shetty in lead role....

Verdict of the Movie : Above Average... 2.5 / 5

Plot of The Movie:

A group of soldiers goes to a uncivilized place named Sector 42 , somewhere located in the north east border as per the instruction of the government to inspect & certify the place as a civilized place.

But the reality is different. There they come across a group of beasts / predators against whom they need to fight and accomplish the mission...

Positive Factors of the Movie:

1) Its not a hero centric movie... Every character had its relevance and they performed well too.

2) Avoidance of hero - heroine conventional love sequences

3) A different approach from Shakti Soundar Rajan is being adopted...At one end where such kind of science fiction , predator movies were seen a lot in Hollywood, an experimental approach in Kollywood should be applauded...

4) Some thrilling moments...

Negative Factors of the Movie

1) Was there a heroine required?? As although they avoided the conventional rom com situation still it would have been better without a heroine...

2) VFX was average...It was not convinceable

3) Although here the villian is a fiction, still it didn't gave the goosebumps as it was being portrayed...

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.
