Just finished watching Star Wars 7 yesterday. Saw this movie today. It feels more interesting than Star Wars.
The atmosphere of the movie is well shaped. Equipment, battle scenes, tactical moves, military terminology look real.
As for the content of the film, it is actually very simple (spoiler below):
it is about a CIA agent taking a group of soldiers to a mysterious area to explore and investigate.
During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the US CIA wanted to set up a training camp in this area to train jihadists to fight against the Soviet Union. But it was found that this place is very mysterious, not only all electromagnetic-related equipment will fail here (compass, wireless communication, satellite navigation), and even reconnaissance satellites cannot clearly view the terrain of this valley. Coupled with the mysteries of the history of the place and the fear that many local legends have brought to the locals, the training camp plan has been put on hold.
In 2000, the United States finally accidentally observed the terrain here through a reconnaissance satellite, and then found a "bone hell" piled up with bones, and a mysterious triangular luminous body (God's Chariot). Two years after 9/11, American military forces intervened in the area. Whether it's to prevent the area from being used by the Taliban to hide weapons, to investigate the mystical legends that haunt the area, or to find out if the mysterious glowing object that appears here is an experimental secret weapon left by the Soviet Union here , the US government sent CIA agents here again.
Although there is more information (a local imam provided some information about the place to the United States, and insinuates that it may be used by the Taliban to hide nuclear weapons, satellite photos), more reliable technology (laser communication equipment, infrared spectrum analyzer, etc.), but the mission is still suicidal. And the CIA agent has been hiding the truth from the soldiers sent to him.
They entered this place, experienced all kinds of paranormal phenomena (very wonderful, very realistic), lost almost all of their personnel, and finally the CIA agent was left alone to reach the oasis near the mysterious hills in the center of the valley. He seems to be recognized by "them" (the figure in Chariot of the Gods, who is shown at the end of the film with a tall body and a light staff), acquired "inheritance" (knowledge, history, technology, etc.), and was finally sent back. human world. But it lost the ability to communicate with people because of the huge impact.
At the end of the film, he is holding a prehistoric gold craft (a very famous prehistoric gold plane, please Baidu if you don't know), and his body is suspended on a hospital bed in a military laboratory, with only one thought left in his mind: "It will It will save us all". Probably alluding to the origin of desert monotheism.
