  Starts off interesting enough but just gets really stupid and confusing after a while.

  a interesting concept at the heart of it all, most of which you learn allong the way, and done diferently there would be a lot of potential , but the setting of a bunch of soldiors going on the mission not really knowing fully why there there lead by a guy who does, dident fully work for me, and i kept thinking about the bigger matter at hand, it seems one of the guys who did the blair witch project is still directing, but theres nothing speciaL HES DOING

  There's a point, around the half hour mark, where this movie may or may not lose you. It's the type of scene that shows how the lack of a big budget can cripple a sci-fi movie. The Objective is a schizophrenic little film that wants to be more than what it's unfortunately capable of. The film takes place in Afghanistan, as a CIA agent has taken a group of special ops soldiers on an undisclosed mission to find some supposed atomic weapons of mass destruction. As the group travels further into the country, they encounter more and more maddening things, including strange lights and ghosts from centuries past. Daniel Myrick (who also wrote The Blair Witch Project) writes and directs what seems to be an attempt to capture lightning twice, as the film attempts the what-is-happening realism that made Blair Witch such a pioneering work. Unfortunately, it's been ten years since the Blair Witch Project came out, and movies in this style have been pretty played out. This film has several other strikes against it, including sci-fi channel movie-of-the-week quality special effects and at times, student film quality acting by some of the leads (really, there were times towards the end where the performances became laughable). The film does however, start off quite strong and I can't fully dismiss it as a whole. Also, I found the subject matter to be quite interesting, and even if the ending practically torpedoes the entire film, I can't say I didn't enjoy it overall.

  Pretty much run of the mill CIA/Special forces op film to start with or so I thought. The true reason for them being there was slightly different....have the Taliban got a nuke? are they aliens? what the hell is going on?....well you never quite know and that let the film down at the end. Still a very well worked movie with an odd ending.
