Doomsday Reviews and Ratings



  • February 6, 2009
    Though Sci-fi in its content it also seems slasher-ish in presentation. Set in the UK it has some of that 28 days later overtones and uses technology very convincingly It seems that we are not fer from this future sometimes and therein in the film IMO seems disturbing. This is ...( read more)what happens when children drag up themselves into adults with no parents to align them. All former knowledge and experience is lost [grazing fat cows] and the new society bourne out of it is also at a lost [they are starving]. The heroine, unlike them was lucky to gain the knowledge of civilization, and finds the humanity within a set of canibalistic and undiscipline homo sapiens. There is hope for then to become human...Will there be a follow-up movie?

    was ok but not great
  • February 4, 2009
    Could have been a good movie, but is way to unrealistic and makes no sense at some points !
  • February 4, 2009
    Was quite good to see ol' bonnie scotland in the midst of a virus outbreak. Meh
  • February 2, 2009
    its mad max meets 28 days later, fantastic, well worth a look

    It seems we have found the replacement for leather clad Milla Jovovich as this new generation's action star. Rhona Mitra seems to be getting all these roles that would usually be Milla's... which isn't really a bad thing... Rhona is pretty hot. This movie though is basically a ...( read more)mindless actioner with a gore fetish. I thought the idea was pretty interesting, but the overall result was pretty much average at best.
  • February 1, 2009
    Pretty chedder but still somehow mildly entertaining.
  • January 31, 2009
    I actually QUITE liked this! I think it's the reminscence of Escape to New York. Lol. Review TBC.

    Film yg aneh, terkesan terlalu dipaksakan unsur2 didalamnya,,, awal sudah bagus sayang dari pertengahan sampai ending terlalu banyak keanehan yg bikin kening berkerut.

    I was channel surfing one day and came upon this movie that was set in the future. The year is 2033 and Scotland is under quarantine due to a fatal virus where all are presummed dead. The virus suddenly resurfaces 27 years later in London and an elite group in sent into Scotland ...( read more)to find a cure by any means necessery (sound familiar?) The group is met by a barbaric community full of anger with their minds set on destruction. The movie is jam packed with action which at times seems over the top. It's a good popcorn movie and for fans who like the genre of a post apocalyptic world. It's a story that has obviously been done over and over again but Hollywood always goes for the almighty dollar than originality.
  • January 28, 2009
    Interesting, but overly done.
  • January 27, 2009
    hmm dunno what to think of this one. Yeah sure Rhona Mitra has a sweet ass, and it's worth watching over and over.....but she still kinda strikes me as a good actor in training (maybe it's just me).

    It kinda feels like a combination of various films put together to get this one....( read more) Some sort of a modern Mad Max (but NOTHING like it), some Banlieue 13(come on you can use the wall thing on...how many films? til it gets old), and i'm sure i can think of more but i'm sleepy*yawn*.

    Overall i'm still a sucker for action packed sci-fi like movies with at least one hot chick that kicks ass, i know it's a cliche already but call me a cliche junkie. I've seen it after Death Race and couldn't help noticing some similarities between them, only a few, but i still like it. It's worth watching once or twice. Anarchy, Mayhem, Slaughter, No rules at all, Some car chases, and at least looks a little like Mad Max (which to me is legend), so why not decide one day to re-live the old days in a modern film that might suit ur tastes.

    A well done & entertaining post-apocalyptic film directed by Neil Marshall.The film is very gory & wild,with some good action sequences,awesome car chases,nice sets & even the make-up for the punk rebels were cool.Doomsday remind me of Escape from New York,Mad Max & few zombie fi...( read more)lms.Gore-hounds will get a treat with the dvd "Unrated version" that includes 4 additional mins of violent scenes with plenty of blood & gore.

  • January 25, 2009
    Deliberately stupid.
  • January 25, 2009
    Very strange. Why is it that all post-apolyptic movies has these punk cultures and what about the medieval parts?
  • January 24, 2009
    apa-apaan ini... England bow ! sumpah nonton di XXI karena nggak ada film bagus untuk minggu ini... meski begitu, salut buat produksinya yang serius dan pasti makan biaya gede...
  • January 24, 2009
    Doomsday was a very confusing and weird movie. However, it's enjoyable to see Rhona kick ass all movie long.
  • January 21, 2009
    I watched it a while ago and I thought it was just weird. But it had some good stuff in there like the killings and all.
  • January 20, 2009
    good movie with good gore and action.
  • January 20, 2009
    i think giving this film 1 star is generous of me! the reason it gets the 1 star is that the begining was really quite good! and i mean the first 15 minutes. from then on it just went downhill. poor bob hoskins probably thought this was going to be a really good uk movie in the w...( read more)ay 28 days later,the descent,dog soldiers were! terrible movie
  • January 19, 2009
    A fun throwback to 80's post-apocalyptic films.
  • January 18, 2009
    this movie had a pretty good concecpt but really fell apart as soon as things started blowing up at random
  • January 17, 2009
    This movie is alright, if you like Mad Max/I am Legend movies. There is alot of violence with body parts exploding in to bloody messes. I would suggest renting or watchingit on one of the movie channels if there is nothing else on.
  • January 17, 2009
    This movie was awesomee!!!
  • January 17, 2009
    wow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch its got a really good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that neil marshall who directed this movie did a brilliant job of directing this movie because he is a good directo...( read more)r n i lurved his movies dog soldiers which was brilliant..n the descent because they both are really good movies..i think that the torture scene were the girl is hanging from her hands n the man beating her 2 get information is a good scene in this movie...i think that the special effects throughout this movie are really good i think that the gun shoot outs n the fight scenes throughout this movie are pretty kewl throughout this movie..i think that malcolm mcdowell (who plays in the hit tv show heroes n the cult classic movie a clockwork orange) n bob hoskins both play good parts throughout this movie..i think that the director of this sci-fi/action/adventure/mystrery/suspense/drama/horror/fantasy movie had done a really good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie,...i think that the soundtrack throughout this movie is pretty kewl as well throughout this movie
  • January 17, 2009
    If your hungry, why don't have a piece of your friend.
  • January 16, 2009
    I loved it, and of course Rhona Mitra kicked amazing ass as usual!
  • January 16, 2009
    Inspired intentions and great concepts can do little to make this action packed, gore filled, profanity laden movie into something positive.
    The idea of quarantining an entire part of a country when it becomes infected with a fatal pandemic and then 35 years later having to turn ...( read more)to the quarantine for help is great, and the possibilities of exploring the different types of regression that societies can go through is the stuff of classics. But this movie is devoid of any character development or hope, and the ending is such a waste it begs the question whether this piece was a waste of time? Really, your ultimate goal and redemption is to go rule a bunch of cannibalistic thugs?
  • January 16, 2009
    Seemed a bit too over-the-top to me. As if they decided they needed to gore it up a bit more before releasing it and just added ridiculous violence. And don't take this to mean that I am against violent movies because I'm not. I think that just because a movie is violent does not...( read more) mean its bad. But in this case the violence has no purpose and no meaning and so it gets knocked points for that.
  • January 15, 2009
    Great movie love shit splatting
  • January 14, 2009
    Excellent! Napaka-scientific ng mga pangyayari! Tsaka super suspense talaga ang mararamdaman mo! Napaka-galing nung bidang babae... Love na love nia yung son nia!
  • January 13, 2009
    Very good sound track.
  • January 13, 2009
    Pointless gore and violence plagues this horribly written generic plot. Because of that the acting falls a bit short of below average. It's got that cult horror feel to it. Not my cup of tea.
  • January 12, 2009
    gore people burned alive cannibals great acton scenes and the guy soul is crazy you never get lost in the movie virus man what if that happened
  • January 11, 2009
    Great, cheesy fun. Though the ending left me a little puzzled.
  • January 11, 2009
    WTF WAS UP WITH THE MEDEVIL BULLSHIT!
  • January 11, 2009
    rhona mitra is awesome!
  • January 10, 2009
    damn the violence in this movie was crazy exploding heads people gettin cooked alive or eaten my only problem was the midevil part of the movie that was pretty gay
  • January 10, 2009
    Not a great movie, but quite fun to watch. A write up I found reads, "28 Days Later" meets "The Road Warrior" and "Escape from New York". It is.
  • January 10, 2009
    Una mezcla interesante de Mad Max, Rescate en NY, Time line, 28 dias despues, el bosque.... Espectaculares Rhona Mitra y la vibora Lee-Anne Liebenberg. (7-)
  • January 7, 2009
    It will be immediately clear to anyone who has seen "Mad Max" or "28 Days Later" that this film is blatantly ripping them off, both in plot and visual style, along with several other films. Despite this, it is still fun to watch. Neil Marshall's slick technique and bloody unforgi...( read more)ving action sequences, along with Rhona Mitra's sizzling performance help you to forget that this movie is indeed an obvious act of plagiarism. Filmmakers copying each other is certainly nothing new in Hollywood, but perhaps Marshall and his collaborators shouldn't have made it so obvious. If you're willing to overlook this however, a good time is still to be had watching this film. Post-apocalyptic movies are meant to be a more visceral experience than an academic one anyway.
  • January 7, 2009
    I knew I shouldn't have seen this, it sucked!
  • January 7, 2009
    Bit of a mediocre action flick. Had it's moments, mostly towards the end, but they weren't that great. Aaand, the script was rather dull. However, Rhona Mitra successfully pulls off being an action star.
  • January 6, 2009
    The homage was paid to crappy movies and its style was equally crappy but since this film copied, it makes this film worse.
    I especially cant believe that someone would pay homage to Mad Max. Those were fucked up and boring as hell.
  • January 5, 2009
    "Insanely entertaining and awesome!! Rhona Mitra is so badass, she kicked alot of ass here!! The last 20 minutes though, were ridiculously incredible, better than the last Resident Evil".
  • January 5, 2009
    Entertaining at times, and Rohan Mitra is hot.
  • January 4, 2009
    Neil Marshall is an entertaining writer-director. "Dog Soldiers" rises above the average military-horror film and "The Descent" is one of the finest horror films I have seen in quite a while. In "Doomsday" he seems to had been given twice the budget of his previous films, but it ...( read more)ends up being half as good as his previous work. The film is really entertaining and some scenes are quite suspenseful, but the plot is developed in so many different ways and it tries to cover so much ground and different locations that it becomes almost a parody of the genre. There are a few cliches, mainly as "homage" to other films, that hurt the film, but after all it is better than the average action movie or maybe it is that I admire Neil Marshall's previous work.
