nonsense, but a tattooed face is always cool.
There were so many loop holes in this movie it was ridiculous.

Looks like a stupid 28 Weeks Later rip-off. I like Rhona Mitra though.
Doomsday is a great balls-out adventure flick. A cross between Road Warrior and Escape from New York, maybe with an ?Ellen Ripley? thrown in, this movie is enjoyable and entertaining. But come on, why do you go see a post-apocalyptic movie? This movie is pure entertainment, and I...( read more)
Tienes buenos elementos como casi todas las películas de este tipo hechas en el Reino Unido, interesante lo de las e corrientes que se toman, pero no es tan bueno como hubiese podido llegar a serlo una verdadera lastima
This is a real mans film with action and horror but the story line is a little whack and unrealistic
Basically a not so subtle remake of the road warrior although Rhona Mitra I extremely beautiful and is a pleasure to watch. Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell do a more then adequate job in the film. Well worth watching when it comes to tv on skinemax jan. 3rd.
Some pretty good comedy moments, but ultimately lacking compared with Dog Soldiers or even to an extent Mad Max.
This movie takes no prisoners... Even though the whole of Scotland is imprisoned within itself! If you worry about getting bored in a movie... Well, you don't have a chance to in this one... It is phenomenal... I can even let slide that while one faction ends up being cannibalist...( read more)
This movie was great lots of gore and lots and lots of action. i loved it
A very awesome mix of red-headed step-child genres, it takes some real balls to even make a movie like this but to also make it a good movie instead of a cheap splatter is nothing short of a miracle. Brutally violent, this film skates on the brink of several tropes and makes it l...( read more)
Robin Williams becomes a robot who searches for a way to become a man. He develops artifically lungs, skin and eyes etc. so he can experience life as a human would and thankfully never stares at a flower to the rites of spring or asks 'what is...'love'?., but it still gets a bit ...( read more)
What a waste and what a mess. A couple of good action scenes, butnot worth the time.
Ok...this is an action -oriented sci-fi mish-mosh, derivitave of many movies..including Mad Max, Escape from New York, 28 Days Later and Gladiator to name a few..although it lacks originality, in its entirety it does entertain for the most part. Rhona Mitra shines brightest as...( read more)
This movie sucks! How come an isolated area for more than 25 years still has a beer and gasoline supply. Besides, why the latest fashion-trend in there is punk and kingdom-warrior??? What a heck!
I don't know what people complained about I thought this movie was pretty good. Sure there are better ones but this was not the worst, not by a long shot. And is there anyone hotter than Rhona Mitra? When is this girl going to be a HUGE star??
Fun-filled ride going from post-apocalyptic future to medieval Scotland and back again for some Mad Max car battling.
Alright so...
This movie was pretty entertaining. Obviously, its filmed as an action, and that's what we get, which is really disappointing because its story has a lot of potential.
It goes from England, with sadistic leaders trying to stop a virus that threatens mankind to Scot...( read more)
It was the best film for me this year. Fed my WANT. I just love the leading lady in this one, reminds me of underworld for some reason, then the story.. it was surprising, and I like surprises... Ahh can't say anything more but that it's.. 5/5!
wow...just wow... I was incredulous this film was made. the writer and director should retire. I gave it a full star's worth for "Escape From New York" styled badness entertainment value - but even then, been there, done that....
I am a huge fan of Neil Marshall after Dog Soldiers and The Descent so I was looking forward to this big time.
However it isn't as strong as his previous efforts as he tries to cram too many genres and concepts from past movies into teh running time.
The reult is uneven as it wav...( read more)
This film rocked! It had guns, boobs, swords, blood and guts, more guns, blood, guts swords, boobs, strippers ooh and Bob Hoskins xD
The only thing that let it down was the ending.. That sucked
This was a disappointment,i'm a fan of Neil Marshall and this really isn't up to the high standard i was used to. Its a mishmash of many movies,including Mad Max,Escape from New York,28 Days Later to name but a few. It's not that its a bad movie,it's very polished,it looks great,...( read more)
When it started as Mad Max meets Escape from New York, I was totally cool with it. When it put on its Gladiator sandals and Braveheart facepaint, it let it's ridiculousness spin out of control. All in all, it's a few really cool things stuck on top of something kinda average.
I quite like post apocalyptic movies, and this is as good as any Mad Max or Resident Evil. With fighting, decapitations and even cannabalism it's Bloody good fun. And Rhona Mitra is a Foxy bitch.
Loved Doomsday! I made me proud to see that it is still possible to make a film like this, still have a modern feel to it, but kind of old school to it, all the while being an actually good film. I would describe Doomsday as If to blend Resident Evil and Underworld with the like...( read more)
A disappointing pastiche of other genre films without an identity of its own. You say 'homage' I say 'out of ideas.'
Its Mad Max, 28 Days Later and Underworld in a violent blender. An ultra fast, ultra violennt, ultra nutcase blender.
Rohna Mitra's character is essentially just "Selene" from underworld in a slightly different outfit and minues the vampire powers, but has a cool electronic ey...( read more)
Disppointing film with it quite blatantly copying large chunks of the Mad Max films and also Escape from New York.Even found it hard not to fall asleep during it.
The following is the plot summary for my favorite kids tv show The Tribe........
'Where the virus came from, no-one knew... from deepest space, bacterial warfare or some nation's scientific experiments gone horrifically wrong? All the Adults are gone... All the teach...( read more)
This movie knows that it is ripping off about ten films and doesn't say sorry for it. Its as if someone woke up and said "well i like this from this and that from that..." and made a movie with witty one liners. i also like the appropraite use of the fine young canibals.
nothing new...all the time i was thinking like -i'm watching a "resident evil" film...with a kate beckinsale lookalike with punks having british(gentle) accent & trying 2 be like mad max villains..
& m becoming mesmerised by british beauties..the more i see 'em..the more i lu...( read more)
Another favorite of 2008. I really need to own this. No apocylptic collection should be without.
at exactly what stage of production did this sound like a good idea?! a cheap mess, in both looks and thrills.
Clearly a B-movie, but I usually like this type of virus-doom-zombie movies. But this was mostly a lousy mix of Mad Max, Escape from New York, The Warriors and some Knight's movie! A shame the director cannot deliever anything out of his obviously huge imagination and fantasy...
A little bit of 28 Days Later... with some Mad Max 2. Oh, and throw in a touch of Gladiator! With those three films, and a few more, you end up with Neil Marshall's outrageously entertaining, Grindhouse-esquire action movie, Doomsday. And boy is it a lot of fun...and then some! S...( read more)
Just because it's stupid does not mean it is not entertaining. I think it happened like this: In 1980, John Carpenter bought the rights to some unused Monty Python skits, only he took them seriously and worked them into a film treatment, which was rejected by every third-rate pr...( read more)
it was thriller movie! ever i saw it in way back to theather.this film is kinda reminded me of both "mad max road warriors" & "beyond thunderdome". and anyway this so awesome. this performed rhona mitra(of "the shooter")as maj. eden sinclair.
director of neil marshall who dire...( read more)
