Captain branded as India's first alien-hunt movie released in theaters today and the first set of reviews for the Arya starrer have started cropping up online. Captain written and directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan is a VFX-heavy Hollywood-inspired movie, and also stars Simran and Aishwarya Lekshmi among others. This is what the viewers had to say about the film:

#Captain Review:

The problem I have seen in Shakti Soundar Rajan's films, is the story & screenplay.

Yes, his films do have good & different concepts, but storywise, they disappoint 😭#TikTikTik worked due to VFX & duration but #Captain clearly disappoints.#CaptainReview

Done watching #Captain - The plot and premise look identical like any other Hollywood flicks of same genre of Man Vs Alien. The screenplay is too average. The narrative is too predictable. Thrill and gripping moments are in scarce. The writing could have been better. Mediocre! pic.twitter.com/XWPVOeA5br

#Captain (Tamil|2022) - THEATRE.

Alien Plot. Arya struggles to show variations in perf. Cameo role for Aishwarya. Imman’s Music gud. Poor VFX. Outdated, Routine scenes. Zero Excitement. Sci-Fi, so forget abt logics. Different Attempt, But unfortunately didnt work out. BELOW AVG! pic.twitter.com/OMaltbwVJ1
