I was watching something interesting on another channel and went to this during unfortunately long and frequent commercials. I was only drawn to it because I was bewildered how anyone could possibly make and release a movie of such poor quality. It was like watching a real-life train wreck.

The acting was atrocious. The special effects were so amateurish as to be universally laughable, especially the supposed windshield hits from rearward gunfire.

The plot was something that might have been produced by low-functioning nine-year-old.

This had to be one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. There was not a single 30-second segment I watched that was incapable of producing a violent emetic reflex.

The premise is actually intelligent and exciting, and if the people who took the idea were more talented and had a bigger budget, they could have made a good movie. But they had none of these things and the result is a ridiculous and boring film. It's a classic case of limited talents overreaching. The science often didn't add up, the sets were cheap, the locations were unconvincing, the action scenes were boring, the special effects were mostly poor, and the actors often couldn't get their accents right. Where are the makers of Godzilla when we need them? Their films, while cheap and tacky, were at least fun. But this is a joyless trip in spite of its end-of-the-world stakes. I never believed it for a minute.

Not only was the story and acting awful, the special effects brought the movie to sub-campy levels. Once again Hollywood tried to capitalize on the mystique of Stonehenge and come up lacking. The dwarfs dancing around the 18" high triptychs in "This is Spinal Tap" was more believable than the Styrofoam mock-ups obviously created by a 3rd grade art class. I particularly liked the left-hand drive vehicles supposedly used by the Royal Army in Salisbury. Please take a pass on this waste of time - you'll regret wasting these precious minutes of your life. There are so many glaring errors of omission, ignorance and historical facts that they are too numerous to list here: Let me try: The bomb dropped (although a missile is fired) was not a nuke, but a laser guided bomb; the position of Stonehenge moved several times on the idiotic map continually shown, all physics were suspended when traveling to and fro across the Atlantic--the time involved is unachievable even if the phantom aircraft were magically available. This movie sucks.
