Cover via AmazonLet's put it this way: you know this movie won't be a masterpiece when you go in. It is based on a GAME about shooting nasty things that came out many many years ago. And it's NOT directed by Uwe Boll. So it is not that bad... as long as you don't have too high of expectation for it.Setup: some sort of nasty things have invaded the Mars research facility. The "marines" have been called in. In the dark research facility marines encounter mad humans, creatures from nightmares, and illegal experiments that should have never been done... something of pure evil... When even the marines started to die, there may only be one way out... through hell...
The Doom movie can be viewed as sort of a pastiche / sendup of action movies, and for that it ain't bad. The action is quite good, though the marines rarely hit something. There's also a lot of favorite weapons in Doom that didn't make it into the movie, like pistol, shotgun, rocket launcher, and so on. However, the "first person" sequence near the end is pretty cool. There's also some sci-fi mumbo jumbo about extra set of chromosomes, experiments on death row inmate, and so on.
It is worth watching once, if you like the game. Else, forget it.
