What the Critics say | ||
| ScreenIt T. Durgin  Captive State doesn’t grip you like District 9 did or get into your head like Arrival attempted to do. You leave the film understanding, even appreciating what Wyatt and his team tried to do here, but also realizing that it could have been so much more. | 9 |  |
