20 Summer 2018 Films You Aren't Excited About (But Should Be)
4. Captive State
Director Rupert Wyatt proved he could deliver above-average, intelligent blockbuster action with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and it looks like he'll do the same again with this original science fiction thriller.
Captive State is set in a near future Chicago which has been occupied by alien invaders for ten years, and is said to explore the lives of both the human resistance and those who have collaborated with the extra-terrestrial occupation.
Sounds like interesting science fiction with clear political overtones, in a similar vein to District 9. John Goodman heads up a cast which includes Vera Farmiga, and Moonlight actor Ashton Sanders.
Release: 17th August.
