Doom - the movie

#1 It was okay.. kinda gave me a headache tho.. and what exactly was the story line?? or was there one?? haha

#2 Does the story go along with the game???

#3

Quote:Does the story go along with the game???

That actually made me laugh because until Doom 3, I didn't realize there was a story (and with Doom 3, there wasn't much of one).

You are a marine. All hell has broken loose. Kill any mofo that moves.

#4 From looking at the trailer, it looked pretty crap... a FPS movie? "Reload"

Not on my list of movies to see.

#5 I wonder who came up with the 'bright' idea to make Doom 3 into a movie...

#6 If i remember right, John Carmack wanted one made for years. A few of the movie deals failed before too.

#7 Im seeing it on sunday, I personaly think its gonna be a bad movie, but its gonna be funny :D.

#8 Acutally all the Doom games had a story, Doom kinda the same story as Doom 3 your on mars and hell breaks loose. Doom 2 hell breaks loose on earth

#9 Yes. I read the booklet that came with the game and read the text page at the end.

I guess it was a bit stronger than the story to Bad Dudes, but not much. You didn't even get a burger!

#10 The movie was a little less lame than i was expecting, but lame none the less. Wait for DVD.

#11 I give it a C+ B- grade. It is pretty well made with two exceptions: one, it drags a few times; two, it isn't jaw dropping cool. There is not enough 'holy shit' moments. I think that the reason for that is obviously the budget. They did perfectly well with the budget they had and probably better than most movies for that money but it would have been bad ass if they had had 10 to 20 million more to put it over the top. That's what I think anyway. I hope it does well enough business to warrant a sequel. Funny enough. I think that for once the movie would have been better off in the hands of a director like Paul Verhoevan: director of Robocop and Starship Troopers. Starship Troopers is one of those movies that had a huge budget but just didn't find an audience. Probably due to terrible acting by the leads. This movie was pretty well cast... i think it just needed a Starship Troopers budget and it would be a massive hit.

#12 I just got back.. good B movie. I enjoyed it.

Edit:(btw ignore my del request).
Yea I posted this when I left to see the movie then tried to delete it.

Figured it was stupid. But hey it's a game movie so It's cool I guess.

#13 Well it can't be worse than Street Fighter movie (i loved that game on my Amiga) :)

#14 I did notice the base rifle. Was a HK G36 with a bunch of crap on it. But they kept the stock
red dot sight. You could even see the label. Also I saw a glock 22 and you could see the serial
number sticker for a second.

#15 Did any one else spot Tim Willits from Id in a heap of bodies near the end of the film? I could swear it was him... and he did mention that he visited the set.

#16 I think it'd be cooler if they just used the game as a set and put real people in it (using a green screen thing).

I mean the monsters etc from the game would be good enough quality for movies.

A bit like Star Wreck, that was cool (especially for $0 budget)

#17 I just saw it today, I though it was pretty good :) Not amazing, but fun and better than I expected.

#18 Spoiler below....











it sucks!

#20 I'm holding out for DOOM: The Broadway Musical.

If he can do it to the Bible and TS Eliot, Andrew Lloyd Weber can set anything to music.
