Doom the movie

dtrain13 · 10-16-2005, 09:21 PM

Anybody plan on checking this out? Looks awesome from the previews and is based on Doom 3 the game. I'm a video game nut and ofton movies based on games are usually bad (except the Resident Evil movies and the Tomb Raider movies).

Funny you posted this, I kept planning to do it but got side tracked. I think I might see it but to be honest it almost looks too much like the game and not enough like a movie. Hope I'm wrong, we need a good video game movie.

They have a portion of the movie filmed in the "first person" point of view like the game but the special effects look solid and the Rock and Karl Urban (bad guy in "The Chronicals of Riddick" and the Born Supremecy as well as a big part in LOTR series) are perfect for the roles they play in the movie. We will see but I think it will be solid.

Just a guess based on how the second ended.

I liked both the Resident Evil movies, especially the first one though. Personally I think Doom 3 will be pretty bad but I may go see it just for the hell of it.

I'm thinking of going to Doom this weekend ... the teaser looks kickass!

Just wanted to update this and let you know that I saw it yesterday and I loved it. If you have played Doom 3 you will a greater appreciation for it but even if you have not you will still like the movie.

hmmm..I'm surprised, the reviewers here panned it. I think the best review gave it .5 out of 5.

Critics are way too critical.

Yuck.. I saw thys movie.. and I see why it got such low reviews.. I hated it..

When the movie switched into fyrst person mode.. it was the shyt!!

But until then... the movie was entyrely tooooo dark!!! ...

Yeah, I know they're in a research facility and it's supposed to be dark, but the place could've used some emergency lyghts...

It was so dark.. some scenes, all you could see was an eyeball & a little bit of the person's teeth... followed by the flash of guns fyring & some screaming... I hate movies lyke that..

***** spoiler *****

Was dude making out with his syster?? *D

Peace..~G
