Films like World Without End.

World Without End (1956) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured time-travel / post-apocalyptic, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
