The Capture

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.

This was obviously a small film. Had big concepts and neat cast. A lot of the ideas are big and sometimes hard to follow. I liked the girl who was an angel, or part of the afterlife not sure. Weird ending but all around interesting indie film. the black scientist was also a very interesting guy with a lot charm. Not sure how it ended that's my big knock on the film.

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.

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
