Stonehenge Apocalypse

The central theme of the film, prophetic words seem to come close to reality in 2012 after the discovery of a magnetic chamber, is not new. However, no matter how used the concept is, the delivery of Stonehenge Apocalypse, is marvelous.

Conspiracy radio show host (and award winning physicist), Jacob, uncovers a series of magnetic disturbances AND learns that a group of tourists have been destroyed at Stonehenge. For him, this is a clear call to GO to Henge and uncover what is going on. Around the world, magnetic vortices are exhibiting dangerous signs (volcanic erruptions et al) and destroying Mexico, Malaysia, Egypt (Giza), and maybe Maine. His mission, as he chooses to accept it, to stop the nuclear destruction of Stonehenge by a mad military leader before he can find the key to the disturbances and turn off the terra forming he suspects is going on! Betrayal, action, transatlantic travel at light speed, and indoctrination through a series of revelatory discoveries makes this a National Treasure of Destruction.

Having said that, I liked it. It is not factual, nor academy award material, but it is a good film that will make you appreciate the fact that even well intentioned films can still be passable. SyFy is to be applauded for giving voice to films like these that can often be better than the high budget LOTR genres.

Thanks so much folks.

Keep those pyramids buried, please.

As referred to in other reviews, this movie is piggy-backing on the recent crop of 2012 disaster movies. That stated, and as my title implies, this was a missed opportunity by the producers. If they had increased the budget for state-of-the-art special effects, put in a little more details, and expanded the script by about a 1/2 an hour or more, this could have been a major summer movie or, more probably, a better-than-average made-for-TV movie.

This is a good show with a good premise and your average, and sometimes better-than-average, acting by some TV actors: Micha Collins/"Supernatural", Torri Higginson/"Stargate: Atlantis", Hill Harper/"CSI: NY" etc.

This is, also, one of the few efforts by the Syfy channel (I really hate that aconym) that is definitely worth a look and possibly a purchase.

I think anyone who was a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan and enjoys watching cheesy low budget movies will get a kick out of this one. The dialogue is especially bad, and, along with the unbelievably silly premise, it had me in stitches most of the time. I never imagined in my life that I'd hear the words "nuke Stonehenge" uttered together in absolute seriousness multiple times! It was brilliantly bad in a fun, cheesy way.

Of all the actors, Misha Collins was definitely was the most enjoyable to watch, and he certainly gave the role his best, though his talents along with the others' are clearly wasted in this production. The eye candy he provides though definitely helped to make this flick much more easily endurable. Fans of his character Castiel from Supernatural will probably get a big kick out of seeing him dressed like Dean (I know I did!).

In short, I'd say if you're a fan of Misha or MST3K or just enjoy the occasional silly movie, this one is good buy for you.
