Review of Doomsday (2008) by Anna B — 06 Feb 2011

I mostly hated this. It started off a little wobbly, but there were some interesting elements that I thought could go somewhere. And then, oh god, and then those fucking punks showed up, and it became a slow torture.

At certain points I felt angry at the people who made this, mostly for their lack of creativity and their assumption that I was stupid enough to swallow all this bullshit without raising an eyebrow. It first hit me when the APC's supposedly bullet-proof window was smashed by some asshole with a rock, and it was just compounded and compounded with every illogical scene.

I just don't understand how anybody considered anything that was happening here to make any sense. Why did they crib Mad Max? Is that the only thing they could think of, to rip-off wholesale a series of films that are practically cultural icons? Why can't people come up with their own fucking ideas? God, it makes me so mad.
