    Neil Marshall, in his 3rd film (dog soldiers & the Decent being the others) goes down hill I'm afraid. seems like he wanted to make a film with all his favourite scenes & ideas from others & does not quite pull it off. The main two influences are Escape from New York (for the most part of the film) & the great car chase at the end of mad max 2 (so much as to name 1 character(John) Carpenter & (George) Miller & other references. on their own the action scenes (& gory deaths) & post apocalyptic Scotland & the action scenes & car chases are entertaining, but where it falls down hard is the script, almost as if a 13 year old wrote it,putting all his favourite bits of other films into one film & disregarded how to make sense of the plot & how to get from one scene to another.

    Anyone like me who has Enjoyed Mr Marshall's films previously, will enjoy spotting the actors from his previous movies & the subtle name references (such as Sterling for the lad who played Spoon in Dog soldiers etc)

    It's a film I really want to like, but due to the bad story used to wedge the good action scenes, It leaves you feeling not quite satisfied.

    This movie doesn't try to be more than what it is... A good old 80's style action movie ! You could say it's an hommage to movies like the Mad Max series and Escape from NY. It entertains and is fun !

    I don't understand why people have a problem with doomsday. I thought it was good. Yeah, it was lacking in a few things story wise but the rest of it was good. The guy who said that we had already seen car chases and arena death battles is right, we have. But that is kind of the point. The people we see in doomsday have been left there to die. They know absolutely nothing of the outside world and were determined to get out once people came back in. The car chase was inevitable and the arena battle was their form of entertainment. So I really don't understand the problem here.

    I caught a matinée, so I only had to pay $5.50 to see it. I wasn't expecting originality, I was expecting a good time...which I...kinda got?

    This is basically a rip-off of Mad Max/Road Warrior with a hint of 28 Days Later and maybe Escape from New York. If you had any decency you would rent one of these films instead of paying to see a horrible Hollywood rip-off.
