It is hard to watch a movie when you hear someone else tell you what they think about it. You then go into the movie having a preconceived notion. I did not have the liberty of seeing this movie (The Men Who Stare At Goats) in theater, but it recently came to the top of my queue. I had almost forgotten about it when it arrived in my mailbox last week, but those first few moments of "what is this?" quickly turned into "oh snap!". The first moment of free time I had allowed me to watch this movie that I had been waiting for. Now, I went into the movie thinking that it would start strong and only have a couple of good parts. For this is what my friends told me. However, I wanted to give it a fair chance so I watched with an open mind.
The concept of this movie is that the U.S. Army tried to create psychic warriors to give them an edge over other countries. The main character, Bob Wilton, is a journalist who finds an ex-psychic warrior who leads him on this "mission" he was given in the middle east.
There were many parts that I really enjoyed in this movie. I almost felt like my friends were too harsh on it. There were times however that I couldn't grasp. Knowing that these men had honestly tried to just run through walls and such. I couldn't wrap my mind around that concept, but maybe that is why I can't walk through walls. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5. I would recommend renting it.
