The Objective (2008)
5/10
Great Build-up, Big Letdown
3 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I saw the Tribeca screening in NYC last week. I was entranced and enthralled, and found the first 2/3 of the movie to be excellent. But the end was a huge letdown for me. My boyfriend felt the same. There is no resolution. We had all sorts of questions that were left unanswered: were the "bad guys" ghosts? ETs? The CIA? Why was Keynes floating at the end? How did he get back to the West? Who were the people watching him through the glass? Yes, all sorts of strange, unearthly things were happening to the soldiers... but WHY -- and WHO was doing this to them? We never get a satisfactory answer as to WHO and WHY. This could have been a GREAT movie... if only things weren't left up in the air (like Keynes) at the end. The producers should re-think the ending with Myrick and re-shoot the end -- or audiences are going to stay away, in my opinion.
