'Doom' Discussion Thread

i dont think it looks that good at all i think the rock shouldnt be in it and that it should stay a video game u saw what they did to resident evil

The doom movie has a very low budget. The Rock is the only actually famous and known star they could get, so they went with him because versus some unknown "karl urban" they now can say "Doom... Starring The Rock" So, hes a cheap star that everyone in america knows of.

Karl Urban has been around, and has been in better parts compared to the rock. He's a co-star thereby getting less credit, that's all,

I saw it tonight. Ill start by saying I thought it was going to be horrible, I had only negative expectations for this movie.. yet I went anyway (invited to a screening) And I actually enjoyed it. Its not a very good movie but it was pretty entertaining for me. The odd thing was that most of the people I was with who were very excited to see it did not like it. But there was clapping at the end if that counts for anything. It was a very similar type of movie to resident evil (the first one) and I thought this was considerably better.

Saw it. Amazing.

I came in expecting it to be great, and it went past my expectations. I was pumped the entire film, I was just going nuts. It was so awesome, and I was with the uber-nerds infront of me when we all squeezed our hands together and squelled when The Rock sees the BFG for the first time.

Saw it last night.

Pretty Okay, I did like the Rock's role in this movie. Plus it had a great opening with all the scientists running scare from the monsters. There is a scene in which a woman's arm gets trap in the elevator door. It was pretty neat.

And yes, if you're wondering about the Predator referrence (marines send to invistigate a problem) it is somewhat similar. And same thing with the Aliens (monsters hidding in the dark and popping out) referrence. All those similarities are all pack in this movie. But don't let that bother you as you watch the film. It was entertaining and lots of blood. So you can either watch it on the big screen or wait for the dvd. Pick one and see it.

It wasnt an elevator, lol, it was the girls arm stuck in the door, and a monster pulling at her body.

I was surprised that the FPS part was freaking awesome. Good movie, but I was told that they stuck to the video game plot, when this isnt exactly the game plot. Im glad I heard wrong though, otherwise I wouldnt have gone to see it.

how is the FPS thing in the movie???
-well done?
-my friend thinks the FPS view will be a chunk of the movie, but how long do you think its for...just 1 action segment??

Apparently it's only for 9 minutes. My friend saw it this weekend, said it was amazing.

I'll have to wait a couple of days before Doom hits the theaters here, but the knowledge of the movie abandoning the gate to hell issue will have me stay put and wait for the DVD to be out for rent. Not gonna spend money on seeing it on the big screen, my mind's made up.

I saw it this afternoon. It was pretty cool. The 1st person scenes were awesome. 😎
But...

Spoiler:
no soulcube

Probably because the badies are virus freaks and not demons. Damn

Yeah, that turned the tide for me as well. Why the hell did they go for such a absurd storyline while the one provided by the game was sufficient enough by far for this concept? If you want to put a game to the screen, stay loyal to the tale, or f*cking think of a good story yourself! Don't adapt a scenario and screw it over thinking your idea's beat the expectations of the fans.

The 1st person shooter part was pretty cool, but for me it just made the movie seem, well not like a real movie. It was good but I wouldn't want to see something like this in the Halo movie if you know what I mean.

I enjoyed the movie... But I thought they were a little long in getting to the action..."...If they make another dam room as all clear,... I'm gonner scream...."

The BFG... So so... Looked like the rocket launcher from UT...
Sorry But Ash's Boomstick is still the best gun used in a movie...

The storyline... blah.. Typical dead coming back to life... Why couldn't they just go.. WAM!!!! theres demons!!!! at least they would of stuck to the storyline... I mean does anyone remember doom??? did that game even have an intro???

FPS bit was interesting... I liked it alot more then I thought I would... but I couldn't stop thinking "now if only games had graphics like that..."

that's exactly what I was thinking...

Doom I and II had the red-text paragraph intro before the game explaining there are demons.
Ultimate Doom had a slight introduction to show the dynamics between the different characters and forshadow the main action but it was pretty much boom the base is overrun with demons and zombies go kill them.

Doom is still a great game! (I was playing it earler) simple but fun.....

But its not like modern games where you have a 1 hour intro, 1/2 hour tutorial... and 2 starter levels..... where at the end you might get a better gun....

I still really enjoy playing....

All I remember of the storyline is the end... Where it goes..
"huh so you though you have excaped??.... no chance.. everyone dies...."

I saw it Two weeks ago and I personally enjoyed it very much. I liked the Karl Urban very much as John Grimm. And the other actors were pretty good too. So it was a lot of fun imo.
