Doom

[AndyC]

I'll probably see it on DVD, but I still can't understand adapting a game with a good story, but not keeping the story. A dimensional gateway to Hell is far more interesting than yet another movie with genetically created monsters and zombies. As a hokey plot device, genetic engineering is this generation's atomic power.

While the movie can't possibly be considered anything but abysmal, it DID make me and my friend laugh on quite a few occassions.

***the following contains "SPOILERS" but not really, you can't spoil something that is practically impossible to enjoy***

The character of PINKY and his little wheelie-rig was hillarious. When he is handed a gun and left to defend himself he yells out to the marine "why don't you go f**k yourself!?" but says it with absolutely NO CONVICTION and in the wimpiest way possible. impossible not to laugh. When he becomes a monster and his wheelie-rig is trailing after him...priceless.

the one marine looking up into the air-ducts that has the "great" line after being spooked and asked "what was it?" he says "A MONKEY! SOME KIND OF MONKEY!" wow.

The scientist that rips his ear off and stares at it. wow.

When the mutant is trapped halfway in the door. The scenes that follow where conversations are taking place and he is visible in the background...he kinda looks like he's waving hi.

The first person scene was funny. I actually would have loved the movie if they had shot it entirely in first person. The one monster that jumps out but then promptly RUNS AWAY was so stupid, I couldn't help but smile.

The method of teleporting was incredibly lame.

The movie could have benifitted from having more than two colors on screen. Theres only so much black and blue you can look at. The art department was REAL lazy.

That said, I would watch it again, but only with people I knew would appreciate much of it's stupidity.

It's kind of sad that DOOM: The RPG for mobile phones probably has more happening in terms of plot. Why they didn't make a movie based on the original Wolfenstein 3D instead is beyond me.
