One of the most popular and influential video games ever makes its way to the big screen in this sci-fi thriller. A coalition of Earth's scientific and military interests have established a research c... read more read more...olony called Olduvai on the planet Mars, but one day all communication from the outpost stops and no one can tell what has happened -- though the final messages suggest it's not good. Believing foul play may have overtaken Olduvai's crew, the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, a team of specially trained military personnel, are deployed to investigate the situation and, if necessary, eliminate the invaders. But Sarge (Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock) and Reaper (Karl Urban), leaders of the RRTS team, soon discover the situation is far more grim than they could have imagined. An experiment on Olduvai has very literally opened a portal to Hades, and a variety of savage and demonic creatures have overtaken the colony. Now the RRTS must seal off Olduvai, close off any access to Earth, and exterminate the satanic beasts before they can kill again. Doom also stars Rosamund Pike (as Dr. Grimm), Dexter Fletcher, Ben Daniels, and Deobia Oparei. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    No one gets out alive.

    Not so good! The video game let's just say it's far better than this cheap imitation of a movie. The acting was horrendous and the plot was just dumb and weak, there were no key points in this movie that made you even change emotion. Watch at own risk.

    Ba... read moresed on the popular video game. In the not too distant future, humans have successfully colonized the planet Mars. Here scientists were experimenting on naturally occurring substances and using the colonizing humans as guinea pigs. The experiment went horribly wrong. Now, a group of marines and a scientist named Samantha Grimm are going to find out what happened. They teleport to Mars via a system known as the "Arch". What they find are gruesome monsters hell bent on death and destruction. Samantha's brother John is also one of the marines sent to Mars to help.

    Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and Starring Dwayne Johnson, Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, Deobia Oparei, Richard Brake and Razaaq Adoti.

    Not as bad as what I have been told, But a pretty poor adaption to another video game movie that is untrue to the game. If I remember right... read more I played Doom 3 once and it scared the shit out of me with those monster like creatures, I nearly killed my brother, but the movie is pretty bad when it comes to the story being very untrue to any fans out there.
    If you're not familiar with the video games, they were the first ever (FPS) with 3D graphics and moving ability. Then it was followed by House of the Dead, The light Gun video game and the worst adaption of all time.

    In the year 2046 Mankind has successfully colonized mars but Something has gone wrong in the UAC research facility, and the staff are becoming something unimaginable. All research has ceased and the facility has been placed in quarantine. Dr. Samantha Grimm have called in an elite squad of soldiers led by Sarge and includes Samantha's twin brother, John Grimm. No one is safe inside. As the team advance through the facility, and as they are picked off one-by-one, Dr. Grimm has one question: What exactly has caused this?

    Best part about the entire film that is worth watching and kept people watching is the "FIRST PERSON SHOOTER SCENE" with Karl Urban shooting all the monsters. If I can remember they were otherworldly creatures from the games....This movie kind of follows Resident Evil a bit.

    40% for Story: Yeah very Untrue to the games by Far, Some entertaining action scenes but that's truly just about it. It mostly follows what Resident Evil did but with more Hard-Core mutants.

    60% for Acting: Karl Urban was okay, but the others I was mixed on with their dull performances and overacting abilities. I don't know the rest were okay that's why it gets a 60%.

    60% for Characters: Well there likeable that's it really, There nothing special besides are funny ones...

    80% for Special Effects: They look really good and the monsters are untrue but they still look cool. I can't argue this is the best part about the movie and they are realistic and extremely believable.

    60% for everything else: Creepy dark corridors I guess, Rooms, Places, Music is bad, Nice scenery to mars but that's it really.

    If you're a fan of Horror or the games I think it's just a miss. I am in luck I gave it a 60%.

    Keiko's score 60-100

    For me Doom is a pretty decent Horror/action film. The film is of course based on the video game of the same name and does a fairly decent job at keeping the essence of the game.However there are many flaws with the film. I will mention only one that bugged me, the acting. Obviou... read moresly for a video game adaptation, you know the acting will be a letdown, but in the case of Doom, it feels that the acting and dialogue are forced and not delivered properly, even by video game to screen standards. For example, Silent Hill featured some terrific acting and horror. But Doom relies on it's actors (which suck, I mean The Rock isn't exactly a class actor, decent but not the best) Anyhow, enough bickering about the acting. Doom is a tense, scary film with loads of action, gore and plenty of plot elements from the original game. Including a scene where they made it look like a first person shooter, a pretty cool scene. never truly was into the video game itself, but I've played it before, and I have say, the film does keep the core aspects of the game. Despite the fact that it lacks solid acting, the cast do a good job nonetheless, but like I've said before, the acting is far from good. It's decent at best. Doom is still a fun, thrilling film with tons of action. But the diehard Doom fans will probably not be pleased with this film adaptation, because of course the filmmakers take elements from the game, and try to create something for the screen. If they leave something out, which they usually do, the film will not appeal. I'm not a Doom player, so I wouldn't know. I'm more of a Call Of Duty player. Horror fans will probably be pleased with this film, but Doom fans won't. A fairly decent action horror film with lots of gore. Good for a viewing with friends.

    A fairly bad imitation of Aliens/Predator/Resident Evil that actually redeems itself somewhat in the last 15 minutes but alas, just a little too late.

    I found this to be really fun. Granted, I'm a giant fan of The Rock and Karl Urban, so maybe it was easier for me to like it. It totally accomplishes its goal of being a video game brought to life, the first person stuff is actually interesting rather than cheesy. While the dialo... read moregue is just flat out ridiculous at times, it's exactly what you hear in the games. The Rock's one-liners were hilarious and his whole character was just all kinds of crazy. Karl Urban really brings the biggest legitimacy to the table, being the only character you can take serious. This isn't for everyone, but it's so harmless that you can't help enjoying yourself.

    One of the only video game adaptations that I actually enjoyed! The line that I will remember forever is the final line said before the last death in the movie!

    A unit of crack marines are sent to investigate a security breach on a Martian research base to find it infested with bloodthirsty monsters. The original Doom game was a straight shoot-em up and it evolved over the years into atmospheric survival horror; the film falling somewher... read moree between the two stools. In fact the story and atmosphere of the game is rather more interesting and suspenseful than the ham-fisted gung-ho nonsense you have here. The characters are all obnoxious meatheads with big guns, the production value TV standard and the script frankly inept. Some of the action sequences are competently staged and the first person section at least shows some attempt at invention when it came to translating the concept to film, but even at its best it's little more than a weak rip off of Aliens. One of those films only a teenage boy could love, it's just another half-hearted cash in that passes the time on first viewing, but after that its general shoddiness becomes more and more apparent.

    It starts off alright, but once they go all first-person on the viewer I laughed my head off. A very derivative sci-fi movie, but a fairly enjoyable one if you like mindless violence.

It takes someone who has actually played the game to explain what a colossally bad idea the Doom movie -- and most films that use video games as source material -- was from the start. Full Review

Another sorry chapter in Hollywood's infatuation with video games, Doom is basically a deadly dull rehash of Resident Evil, which in turn was a third-generation clone of Aliens.

Not only do we rarely get to participate in the fun -- fun being the chance to watch demon guts splattered across the walls -- but there's barely any to be found. Full Review
