Pretty Good
A different way of telling a story
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
I usually like this sort of thing and was quite intrigued by the beginning of this film. But I must admit didn't make it more than half way through. I guess my review may have been different if I had, as some reviews mention how it is all brought together well at the end. But I gave up shortly after the discredited hero managed to wander onto a site apparently being monitored by all sorts of government agencies after something apocalyptic happened. And I think if you are going to mention an amazing landmark in your title, you could at least arrange to film there or make up a decent set elsewhere instead of using shaky CGI. Not for me and I can't imagine it's for most viewers when there's so much else to choose.
Now don,t get me wrong I like a good adventure as much as the next person,aliens prophecies,conspiracies etc. so the story line was OK.BUT everything else PUHLEASE!Only 3 actors had English accents,wrong rank insignia,mountains on Salisbury Plain (not the last time I went},a gigantic English primary school built like no others, complete with basket ball hall!,all vehicles left hand drive including a Humvee.Stonehenge obviously computer generated with wrong grass(north American grass is different) and as you say over there,much,much more but I can,t go on.It must have cost a couple of million dollars spoiled by a few cents.Sorry one last thing.A US general turns up, takes charge on British soil,at one of our most precious monuments and a World Heritage Site to boot,I don,t think so.
...I gotta admit, the CGI took me out of the story pretty frequently. That is the most ridiculous pyramid I have ever seen.Overall, though, I enjoyed it. Misha Collins hits the archetype of 'snarky, discredited genius' perfectly (considering this is the only other role I've seen him in outside of his roles on Supernatural), with Jacob Glaser's bull-headed insistence upon the truth. The lead actress was not as memorable, however, although I didn't mind particularly about the half-hearted attempt at implied romance toward the end -- which, in itself, is a feat for any movie, since I don't care for most romance plots. I rather enjoyed seeing it rushed through and not really touched on. The cultist archaeologist was one-dimensional, admittedly, but as far as B-Movies go, I'd kind of been expecting that. The mole was probably the one thing that honestly surprised me -- though that was probably because the first time I saw the film, I showed up about half an hour before the film ended.As for plot, can I just say that if I never hear the word 'electromagnetic' again, it will be too soon. It's like The Day After Tomorrow's supercooled air from the troposphere, but with a much smaller budget and more lightning effects. And I never want to see the pyramids at Giza destroyed in another movie, ever. Though, I believe that if the film had been taken on by a studio that wasn't aiming to squish a movie into 90 made-for-TV-minutes, the ideas could have made for an awesome plot.Finally, because it needs to be said: It was a robot head.
The story in it self could have potential, but did not quite do it for me.First of all, where was the body discovered? I did not see that any archeologists found any human remains. And how did the surveillancecamera mounted on top of the Stonehenge survive the EMP's, when it manage to drain the power of two cars later in the film? To many sloppy mistakes in the script concerning these minor details.I also think that there were too many clichés about the American military and that the commanders must be irrational and close to stupid to lead the most powerful militaryforce in the world. I agree with some others in here that the acting sometimes were good, but also very bad by some actors as well. I give the movie a plus for trying as hard as possible to sty serious throughout the movie.
