Ok, so I must say it was quite better than I expected it to be. It does take place in Mars after all, even though the base isn’t as vast as in Doom 3.
They did a good job with the imps & the Hell Knights looked almost identical to the ones in Doom 3.
The scenario was missing the dimensional gate ways to Hell & the hell spawns were actually mutated scientists, instead of demons, which was a disappointment.
Also the dark & sinister atmosphere of the game was missing.
The FPS scene was awesome; it looked as if it was taken directly from Doom3 & House of the Dead, especially the part with the axe dropping on the zombie's head.
I loved the part when the soldier was attacked by the “pinky” mechanical hell dog, which was actually the guy with the wheel chair that was grabbed earlier by the Hell Knight.
The whole scene resembled the “pinky” attack scene from Doom3 alpha imo.
I wish the BFG had been used a bit more in the movie. Also the blue colour of the blast simply didn’t justify the destructive, sinister & nuclear green colour of the game’s BFG.
What I found stupid was the part when the hell knight cut through a thick steel door leading to the ark gate way, using a chainsaw.
Oh, and that Rock “actor”… well, he sucked, big time that is!
But then again, so was most of the cast of the actors.
It was funny that the old scientist's name was "Dr. Carmack" after John Carmack, the owner of id software.

Needed more monsters and more shoot outs. Taking out the whole hell bit kinda killed it for me. The fact that there were no barons of hell, cyberdemons, spider dealies, fatguywithrocketlaunchers or revenants kinda made it a bit blah.
Feedback will set you free.

Actually I did not for see the wheel chair guy turning into the "pinky" (Even though it was quite obvious):D
I found that part funny in a twisted kind of way...

I really disliked how the how first half of the movie (which felt really long btw) was played out like a really bad slasher film. I was more hoping for more shooting and less "omg we're walking around and looking for stuff... one of gon' get it! lololol"
And yeah, The Rock "actor" had me cracking up. I think it's because I used to watch him a lot on WWF/WWE. So I'm used to the cheesiness. Seeing him and the FPS scene were the best parts for me.

Me either but when it happened my reaction was something akin to "Oh... I get it." It's fun to see as a bad movie, and the first person part was cool but it just wasn't Doom enough.ST Dragon wrote:Actually I did not for see the wheel chair guy turning into the "pinky" (Even though it was quite obvious):D

Heh, I got a kick out of the SMB movie. Thought it was funny when Mario & Luigi fired those "De-Evolution Rays" (which look like Super Scopes) at Koopa and he turned into a T-Rex and then into a puddle of slime.ST Dragon wrote:Actually I like SMB movie.
The part where Bowser turned the Italian Mafia guy into a chimp, was so funny!
There's a certain thing about "bad movies" that makes them fun to watch. I also love B movies like Army of Darkness.
Shmups: It's all about blowing stuff up!
Too many biohazard-type movies, in the past few years, to be an interesting twist. After watching my friend play some of DOOM 3 on his PC, the potential for this movie to have been freaky/intense was there, but sorely missed.
