We just watched Captive State on Netflix (Canada) yesterday. Well-made alien invasion movie, not a big Michael Bay thing, just a dystopic / resistance story with some interesting twists.

After every movie I see, I look it up on IMDB and TVTropes. But here’s the problem : TVTropes describes an extremely significant event at the end of the movie that we just didn’t see on Netflix. Like, the event is not there at all. I just watched again to see if it’s a mid-credits thing : no joy. Are there two different versions of this movie ?

Ah, all right, I just watched the ending again, and finally saw the hints, and the aftermath is shown at the start of the end credits. I just expected that this event would be significant enough that we would actually _see_ it.
