    Mindless and crazy fun. A bric-a-brac of styles, movies, and ideas from SF. Amazing action scenes.

    I'm not really sure what's this film all about. I mean, on the first 10 minutes, you'll think about the virus then later there comes the gangsters/punk rockers then those knights and whatsoever. And I don't even think doomsday should be the appropriate title for this one. you'll ...( read more)just keep watching for the action scenes that came from nowhere.

    Fun, action packed movie with a spectacular heroine is a nice and enterntaining movie. Altough lacks the zombies or infected it has good moments. A good movie for a weekend indeed.

    Very much like escape from new york. Well made all around, pretty impressive. At first you think its going to be like 28 weeks later, then all of a sudden its escape from new york, then all of a sudden its king arthur, then a great road chase. The only loose end that was never...( read more) addressed was the fate of kain. He turned out to be a vicious villain that killed many of her friends and they were never avenged.

    This sounds quite good although I would be wary of it. I watched Neil Marshall's "The Descent" and it was possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen. I can't be sure what to do with this.

    One's enjoyment of Doomsday might stem from how much one admires a blatant homage to the 1980s. A tribute to the early anarchy actioners The Road Warrior and Escape From New York, Neil Marshall's Doomsday also blends elements from 28 Days Later for a fun and ultra-violent action...( read more)-sci-fi-kinda-horror film. About 10 minutes into it I decided to pretend it was a long-lost mid-'80s film Marshall had dusted off and put his name on.

    A bit like a medley of greatest hits performed by a hot, young talent who brings a new vocal inflection to the tired, old standards. If Marshall's goal was to deliver a no-nonsense, tongue-in-cheek, mega-violent "throwback" action flick, I'd say he's done a fine job of it. Now for the bad. Doomsday isn't quite memorable as the grab bag bunch of movies he is pulling from. .
    This sort of rough-and-tumble B-movie Hollywood just doesn't know how to deal with. Just have fun and remember the old days.

    I love this movie and the concept and storyline attached to it. Aside from the story the action was non-stop from start to finish which was great. The lead character was hot to boot so no complaints for this one. If you like action this one is good.

    bit of a weak film really. the story doesn't hold up. the film feels like someone has taken some other films they like and stuck it in this film. the leading lady is smokin' though

    Some great ideas (previews hinted at 28 Days/Weeks later crossed with Mad Max, with a dash of Resident Evil), but there's no cohesion here to bring them together. Well below the standard of Neil Marshall's previous offerings, the excellent The Descent and Dog Soldiers. Looks good...( read more), and has plenty of action, blood and guts, but could have been so much more

    It looked like a cross between Mad Max and Escape from New York.

    An action-packed movie with exploding scenes - and bodies (the latter at least in the unrated version). It is almost ridiculous how some of the bloody scenes are constructed, but even though they are there just for the sake of splattering blood all over the screen, it fits the ge...( read more)nerally cruel and raw atmosphere of "Doomsday".

    The characters are given room to introduce themselves, and even though there isn't much growth in them, that isn't necessary since most of their screen time comes to an bloody end.

    As far as the plot goes, there are some things that worked, and other that should have been worked on some more. At times it is more about "explaining" than allowing people to figure it out for themselves. That does not make the movie a bad one, though, because the good aspects of the plot and story work well; the mission remains the same despite all the distractions and obstacles.

    The reasoning behind the main views of the movie are slightly shadowed, and in a way nothing unexpected. Still this seemed like a rather fresh take on an idea of people left stranded, abandoned by the rest of the world.

    Escape from New York meets Mad Max in this obvious fanboy send up. Not up to the standard set by Neil Marshall's previous horror forages, Dog Soldiers and the outstanding The Decent but still fun with good gore, decent action, and starring a Kate Beckingsale look alike who even w...( read more)ears an eye patch ala Snake.

    As utterly purile as this film is, it has a strange charm and energy all of it's own and I have to say that I kinda liked what I saw.

    Borrowing liberally from Aliens, Mad Max, Escape from New York etc. the characters are either one note or totally extreme and very amusing to s...( read more)pend time with. The leaps of fiath expected by the film makers are pretty big (one section of the film is in an industrial wasteland and another in what seems like Medievil times) but the pace of the film and the casual brutality on show makes it worth it. I liked Rhona Mitra, she brought a nice phsycality to the screen and the bad guys were just so much fun to be around.

    Ultimately, if you think about what you are seeing, it will fall apart pretty rapidly but taken on face value this is a fun film that is well made, the crazy chase at the end was just hilarious and worth a watch on its own....

    Part Escape from New York, part Mad Max, part 28 Days Later, part 80's action flick, part Paul W.S. Anderson film, part Michael Bay film. The movie never knew what the hell is wanted to be. After The Descent, I expected a little more from Neil Marshall.

    It's hard to imagine a director looking at a movie like Doomsday and not realizing that it belongs in the 80's. From the over-exaggerated acting to the cheesy, overused one-liners, Doomsday is bursting with a lack of creativity. You can see just from looking at a screen capture t...( read more)hat its inspiration is Mad Max, and with that, it's a poor man's Mad Max.

    But Doomsday is a special kind of bad. The case with even the worst action movies is that by the end you generally want the hero to prevail, but in Doomsday, I found myself hoping throughout the entire movie that the main character would die so that the movie could continue without her annoying attitude. Needless to say, Rhona Mitra thinks she's much, much cooler than she is.

    It seems the team had a bit too much fun directing the action sequences, because the violence is ridiculous and over-the-top, and at the same time everything looks extremely cheap. I'm not sure what the director of Doomsday is like, but if he enjoys watching people eating other people, then he can do that on his own time, rather than subject his audience to it.

    Of course, while so much "fun" seems to have gone into the action sequences, not nearly as much time or effort seems to have gone into the acting or story elements. The actors all over-exaggerate their lines and personalities, and most of them - especially Rhona Mitra - seemed to have been paying more attention to the clock than anything else, and the result of this lack of effort is a movie that's ridiculously stupid and horribly unpolished in that many story elements are never fleshed out, while the ones that are either make little sense or are just flat out stupid.

    It doesn't help that the movie attempts generic action movie camera effects and instead ends up with camera angles that are both nauseating and overdone, and a lot of times you can't even tell what's supposed to be happening. At one particularly strange time, the camera turns completely upside down for a mere seconds, while at other times face shots of the characters pop in for milliseconds.

    Of course, the action can be mildly entertaining if you're into cheesy 80's movies gore, but the bad acting and annoying characters can make even the movie's best scenes a chore to watch. Perhaps if you want an insanely dumb movie to pass time with, then Doomsday is worth a rental, though I'd personally suggest you watch a decent action movie, like Iron Man or The Dark Knight.

    We both liked the unexpected and varied tone and settings in the film. We both liked Rhona Mitra. We both felt the action in the movie was intense and unexpected.

    It actually started off quite good, and had elements of a good movie. But somewhere in the middle, it got ridiculous, and hence I realize why this movie didn't catch any fame on the mainstream. Ended up disappointing me.

    Another one of those "this could've been good" movies that turned out really really bad. I was especially offended by the inappropiate use of a great Siouxsie song, along with the general use of punk imagery to suggest "bad, bad person".

    Very weird. A mix between Mad Max, 28 days later and Resident Evil. Entertaining but not in a good way. I'd say skip it.

    not as good as it could be with some odd plot holes (okay the decided to live in a castle for protective purposes but why dress like they are in the 17th century when they have modern clothes available???) doomsday never tries to be anyhting more than pop corn entertainment. the ...( read more)end is bloody bad but any film that has bunnies taken out by gattling guns and a car chase set to frankie goes to hollyood's two tribes is gonna have its plus points.
