DOOM ! ! !
The Movie
Synopsis: In the year 2145, an experiment on a remote planet goes horribly wrong. A group of marines lead by John Grimm are sent to face a terrifying monster and a dark, disturbing future.
The Deal: This movie rocked! If you are a fan of the game then this movie will bring back all the old feelings of the game and then some. Truth be told, this is a classic zombie style movie (ala Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil) with the elements and feelings of the game. It can be a bit gory at times, but it's also riventing. Some elements reminded me of Resident Evil (madmen experiments), Others of Dawn of The Dead (The zombies walk and eat) and still others of Total Recall. (An ancient cilvilization discovered, Interesting notion on space travel).
What I liked: Riveting SCIFI Suspense, The space element, the zombie element, Action Galore (or is that action a gore?) Even more so there is a segment of the movie where you actually feel like you are in the game. I found this to be an interesting aspect. It actually made me giggle and get the urge to go play the game. The sound effects were good. An interesting aspect that brought back memories was the sound of the radio's and chatter back and forth. Totally reminded me of quake II. . There are more elements I would like to post, but I do not want to spoil it for anyone.
What I didn't like: Can't think of anything I didn't like. I would have liked it more if they used some of the quake II music. I like the quake II music so much I made my own CD out of it. Don't get me wrong The music in itself was good. It was going for most of the time and provided the eerie background needed for this movie. I think I would have liked seeing some more of the other monsters.
Still an enjoyable horror game movie flick. Should have come out much earlier.
