Review of Doom (2005) by Nickb. — 02 Mar 2006
The best thing about Doom was that it dramatically increased my desire to play more of Doom 3, the intended effect of the movie, I suspect. Unfortunately, this was largely because I think the game is a much better, more entertaining effort than a film which, as usual, discards the more interesting story and graphic elements of the source material in favor of some lame screen writer and director's notions of what the game was about.
On the plus side, it did have an interesting twist at the end that I thought was atypical of this sort of film, and it did evoke some of the look and feel of the game. If you want a better reflection of Doom, I suggest double-billing Hellraiser and Aliens.
