Oh Dear !
Where do I start ? Poor acting (lots of eyebrow raising though), dreadful "animated" special effects which were frequently repeated over and over (when the rocks moved the first time was okay but before the other moves the ground was shown to be mudded between the rocks but repeated special effects show grass being buckled - what grass ?). Sorry guys I know I'm the first to rate it 1 star but, really, it was dreadful (still trying to figure out the location of their English accents too).

Stonehenge seems to have changed since I last went there. The rocks have gone anorexic and the large A road that runs past it has vanished. The computer animation which must have been done on a ZX Spectrum is arse-achingly poor. Everytime someone english spoke I had to let out a hearty chuckle, such classics as "Eer governor, keep your mince pies open" go down as modern day classics and not a dreadful stereotype at all.
My favourite crap bits include, 1) The road falling to bits - where just steering left and right helps you escape danger, 2) a large temple appearing from the ground - where the amount of displaced ground looks like someone has been weeding, 3) The amount of food and drink for the disciples would be enough for a small picnic, and 4) Stonehenge is now made of stickle bricks covered in packing foam, beautful.
I can think of many equally crap bits - but despite all this I have watched it twice. Don't know what possessed me!!

I was interested in this film because of the stars of so many tv shows that I have watched. I was an avid fan of Stargate SG-1 (though less so of Atlantis) and really enjoy supernatural and CSI NY. I've seen Misha Collins develop as an actor and Hill Harper, too.
OK, so the plot line needs a serious credibility by-pass, as do the special effects. Those are so poor that I felt I'd been transported back to the 1970s. Misha does get very emotional, but they are all guilty of slight over-acting. Foamhenge itself overacts atrociously and looks about as realistic as any collection of foam rocks - which is about as much as most of the actors do.
And yet...
Despite the falseness, despite the cruddy sets and the lovely views of Canada with Foamhenge in the foreground, it does have a certain charm. I wouldn't watch it twice, but I wouldn't put it straight into the bin either.

Right but for all the wrong reasons.
Well I first watched this film on a night when I wasn't feeling my best. As a fan of "so bad they're good" movies this was exactly what the doctor ordered. So where to start. Read more

Misha Collins most Excellent! Script most Awful!
It is a testament to the talent and skill of the actors in this movie, that they can make such trite, unbelievable, rubbish watchable.
Misha Collins I take my hat off to you.

Good effects & storyline
This was one of the better new movies with plenty of suspense, imagination, special effects and not a bad storyline - liked it.

Good title, shame about the film.
Stonehenge Apocalypse isn't really funny, or bad, it's just dull. The film is less than 90 minutes but it really, really drags, simply because there is no drama, no comedy, no... Read more
