A Major Disappointment

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I just watched "The Objective" (T0) tonight. Being a sci fi fan I love everything from the 50's classics to new age science fiction films. I seen this movie on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a shot.WIthout any Spoilers, TO is a movie about a CIA operative who takes a group of soldiers into the Afghanistan mountains to learn the truth about some strange occurrences in the mountain. The entire movie revolves around the operative and group of soldiers slowly learning more about the truth of their mission. The rest you will have to watch as I don't want the spoil this movie.The good - this movie had fantastic cinematic work. The mountain ranges and reality of the harsh Afghanistan conditions, it was very surreal. Although a list of C list actors (as well as an ex real life soldier from Desert Storm), the acting was superb. The cast was fantastic and put on a very believable performance. Lastly the movie had an interesting storyline that wanted to make you watch till the end. I felt that it had a lot of good things going for it to be a good science fiction film. The bad - the overall writing and pace of the movie was pretty awful. Some parts of this movie were really slow. After a while it gets kind of predictable the events of the movie. Although something I don't typically pick at, the CGI and special effects in this film were very poor. There was one scene, without spoiling anything, where a man jumps off a cliff. The scene was extremely laughable and made a joke out of what the movie was trying to be. Lastly the main thing that i didn't like. This movie had a terrible ending. At the end, I had more questions than answers. I did "get" the movie, I understood the premise, but I didn't really like it. Overall strange film, somewhat hard to follow, budget CGI, and a poor cliffhanger-style ending makes this one a bargain-bin movie. Is it worth watching? If you are a fan of science fiction in general and appreciate some quality acting, then yes. But don't get your hopes high for some epic sci fi adventure.

I am torn between a good mark and a bad grade, but this is certainly not an average film. It is low budget, but well played and executed. Its story is captivating and the atmosphere really spooky, but not explaining anything. It is basically a mood film, something that enters your bones and doesn't let go until the weird ending that just makes you feel you are still in the movie, making it originally effective.That being said, you can't enjoy this film if you read any spoilers, so stop reading reviews and watch the film. Its main strength is its main flaw as well: all sense is left to the imagination of the viewer, while the technical details are provided by the film makers. Basically, this film is what you want it to be. I would go for sci-fi thriller, but then that would be my favourite genre. I can tell you for sure it is not a romance, but that's as far as I can go :) Try watching it at night with the lights off and enjoy the feel of it.

One of the best Sci-Fi movies I've seen in a long while. And I've seen plenty. All this whining and complaining about unanswered questions, low-budget CG, unauthentic language, misses the whole point of the movie.....to entertain and to get us to think...THINK, people....about those unanswered questions and seek out the answers. As Mulder would say, "The truth is out there". It's up to us to be willing and courageous enough to seek out those answers, to follow the truth wherever it leads, accepting the truth and the conclusions they bring us to, however ugly they may be, no matter how much they may challenge our preconceived notions of who we are and what we're here for.

It's understandable this was in the science fiction section of Bluckbuster. It has unexplained phenomena that characters are subjective to, something often capable of unsettling people. Howevr, here its played for mystery value, as often there were scenes that didn't feel like the audience was supposed to get scared.The characters were, aside from the character of Abdul, not terribly indistinguishable. The protagonist was mainly separate from the others by being from the Government rather than the military, but besides being more aware of the phenomena he was quite bland. The chief officer was mainly distinguishable from the others only because he provided conflict with the protagonist.The others - one died quickly, one became sick, and, honestly, that's the closest to characterisation I remember them getting.Despite this, its quite interesting and, despite early resemblance to "Death Watch" and "Outpost", its a different film.
