Watch The Objective For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

After watching this movie last night, I made a point to remind myself to look up the next day... just what it was that I watched.After reading the reviews on here (a couple were a huge help, helping me understand some of the middle east lore), I realized that I felt similar to a majority of the other reviews on here. I started watching it because the setting and tag line interested me. I was very into the story through almost the entire movie. But, without having that background in some of the history and mythology of the area, I was left scratching my head at the end. This movie had a lot of promise, and for the most part delivered on that. The setting, cinematography, and acting were all pretty good. The special effects were... not the best, but okay. But the story really kind of dropped the ball in the final act. Worth a watch, but be ready to come away feeling unfulfilled if you don't know much about middle eastern lore and mythology. Be ready to do some reading up to answer any lingering questions, because the movie will not answer them for you.

A standard-issue modern war film that splits off mid-way through into the occult is an interesting premise. Other reviewers have deciphered the Middle-Eastern mythology operating in the film, but the viewer is left too far adrift to be satisfied when the film is over. Still, 'The Objective' is worth watching for its atmosphere, and conveys dread if not horror very well. The Special Ops unit operating in a VERY remote part of Afghanistan are convincing as soldiers not acting, rather than actors being soldiers. The narrative is problematic and with some re-working of the last segment 'The Objective' might become a minor classic. Ironically, the only frightening aspect of this film is the Earth itself--imagine being cut-off in the true Middle Of Nowhere where the mind begins to play tricks on itself devoid of civilization. Anyone who has driven off the map and spent a few nights in the desert alone has, in a sense, dared fate to come and get him. The Superstition Mountains of Arizona are a local example of eeriness. So, 'The Objective' is entertaining and almost works. Added special effects would make no difference improving it, as it operates in the mind. Give it a try.

Afghanistan November 2001 and the Taliban who have ruled the country under a jackboot for several years have been ousted . A CIA operative is embedded with an American special forces team and leads them on a secret mission in the South of the country . After a fire fight with the Taliban where several insurgents are killed the SF team are puzzled in finding the bodies of the dead have disappeared , almost as if they'd never existed I've got to put my hand up and say I knew this was a cross genre movie before I watched it . If you're expecting a straight laced action thriller set in the 'Stan then you might be surprised as to where this is heading . Director Daniel Myrick does play up to the film being set in a very real time and place , giving the movie an almost documentary look with hand-held cameras and cinema verite style but this isn't how the film progressesForeshadowing is a difficult thing . Play your hand too soon and the audience might be one step ahead of the characters and boredom sets in , play it too late and the audience will feel cheated so the writers deserve some credit in keeping the audience intrigued . I did have a rough idea where everything was heading and was still interested , though wasn't entirely gripped . Some credit too for bringing in a little bit of past history to Afghanistan involving Alexander The Great's ill fated expedition to the country and the reference of the British retreat from Kabul in the 19th Century . A graveyard of empires indeed Everything's chugging along nicely and THE OBJECTIVE is a engaging little horror/war film with some good locations and a small non star cast . The problem lies in the last five minutes which I had difficulty in understanding . Again it's not down too much or too little foreshadowing but the fact it remains unexplained which diluted my enjoyment of the film slightly which I was enjoying up to this point

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.
