Captive State is the most boring alien invasion movie since Battle: Los Angeles. Probably more so, because at least Battle: LA was peppered with action sequences, however incoherent and unmemorable they were. I was genuinely intrigued by this film's original trailer. The concept—lower-class Chicagoans attempt to form an insurgency against extraterrestrial rule which took over the planet a decade prior—is not wildly original, but the alien designs (from what little we saw) seemed unique, and the human sociopolitical element looked to bring a slightly different flavor to the genre.
