Films like Stonehenge Apocalypse.

Stonehenge Apocalypse (2010) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured sci-fi / action, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, epic, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
