All you gamers who thought Doom was going to rock as a movie, I am sorry to report back that it was about as entertaining as anything with Paris Hilton in it (with exception to a grainy night vision movie she made). The plot was thinner than one of the Olsen twin’s and in true Olsen fashion the movie was also undeveloped. To put it simply without a bunch of metaphors this movie sucked. The only good part was when The Rock went nuts and started to kill anyone and everyone. 

The director put in a “first person shooter” scene at the end for all the gamers who love Doom which was kind of cool for about a minute, but then just got old.   Trust me when I say this movie isn't even worth renting, but don't worry all you gamers soon you can pick your copy out of the $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart.

Let me lay it all out for you so you can decide if you think this movie is worth watching, and if you do then please take this online sanity test, I bet you fail miserably (http://www.penddraig.co.uk/pen/tests/sanity.htm).

So this movie is of course based on the hit video game Doom, where Marines led by Sarge (The Rock) and John Grim (Karl Urban) are sent to a remote research facility on Mars because something has gone wrong and people are dying. The Marines come in to neutralize the situation. They soon find out that a portal to hell has been opened and they must fight for their lives and seal off the facility from Earth before it’s too late. That is the whole basis for the movie; I think the writers wrote this like you or I would write a college paper. 

They waited until the night before it was due then rushed through it so they would have something to turn in. The first forty-five minutes you get to watch the characters wander around dark tunnels looking for anything to kill. Once they finally do start to find foes the camera work and dim lighting make it difficult to even know what is going on.

Takeaways
  • Horrible Movie with little to no plot development.
  • Bad Acting.
  • The Rock goes nuts and its the only highlight of the film.

I really hate it when Hollywood takes a great concept and completely slaughters it on the "big screen." Dungeons & Dragons, Timeline, Eragon; these are all movies that could have been so much more than the flop they turned out to be in the end. Oh well, I guess there is still hope - I mean if Batman could be resurrected, after going downhill by the sequel, with the likes of Batman Returns (a great show); then maybe someday we will get a second shot at some of the great stories that could have been great movies, but never were.
