Doom

[Tom C.]

I hope the rocks charcter turns into a tank like in the game.

[Vemsie]

I think the guns look cool (i'm a sucker for cool guns) and I think the FPS sequence looks interesting, but I feel this has a Resident Evil feel to it.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Well, at least it has the creatures and gore from the games which is more than RE can say.

I'm not saying there's no chance of it being any good. I was quite glad to hear that were going to be using stan winston's puppets, along with the cgi.

But I'm annoyed that they took the Hell element out completely. I mentioned Resident Evil because that looked quite flashy, but was shit.

am i the only one who thinks the FPS bits look REALLY bad??

''RELOAD''

[Dave White]

I couldn't see any health anywhere in the clip.

[Judgement]

I saw the trialer on B4 this morning on Channel 4 as part of a comp, looked ok, there was no health bars or armour lying around

[Treble]

That film looks awful.

I am so watching it!

[Vemsie]

[Anastrophe]

Same here, may mean the film doesnt do as well but it will reduce the amount of annoying 15 year old cunts.

I fail to see how you could find a 15 yeard old cunt annoying

[Paul Hanson]

This film looks amazing. I am SO dragging the girlfriend to this one!

That being said, I don't think she's forgiven me for the time I dragged her to go see The Pacifier yet.

[Deeptone]

Resurecction time...

Isn't this out this weekend in the states? Surely someone here has seen it (legit or not)?

Come, tell us all about it. I really need to know how shit it is.

(Having said that I did get stupidly excited at the trailer at the flicks the other week)

[diggler]

It got a few pretty good reviews on Ain't it Cool News...but also some terrible ones.

Sounds like for a no-brainer explosion-fest it should be alright, but certainly nowt more.

[Commander Jameson]

I've seen the trailer a couple of times now and I've decided that I really like the first-person shots. Not sure how it will come across in the proper film, rather than in the short cuts of a trailer, but I'm definitely going to see this.

1Up's review.

Ohnos.

[Beertiger]

Man I can't wait to see this film, looks almost faithful and captures the atmos perfectly.

So I've seen reports that it's out on the 28th October from film websites but none of the Cinema websites have it coming out soon. Any word on a release date.

[jonathanhoey]

It's out for Hallowe'en in the US, December 2 in the UK.

[Beertiger]

Dec 2! What a load of balls, I'll be playing Halo on my X360 then. You'd have thought they'd have picked a different day from a next gen console launch. Yes I know it's a movie but it's a game movie.

That's weird. Even the UK version of IMDb has it listed opening this week but when you follow the link for Doom it tells you 2nd Dec. It must have been pushed back at the last minute because this was down for an October release.

[Captain Crunch]

I've never had any hopes for this movie. But after reading some of the comments in this thread I became more positive.

Until I watched that rubbish "teaser".

Great, they even managed to add that clicking sound that the Predator makes because they cant come up with anything themselves? And why did they have to change the concept....whats wrong with beasts from hell? I'm starting to belive that there were a Hollywood

Zionist/Fire Baptist agenda that caused that.

I predict this movie will have alot of unnecessary gunfire and a stupid amount of muzzle flames instead of the "dark-kill-monsters-with-a-vengeance" scenario that Doom really is.

I suspect, and I'm betting my £5.- that it will be absolute rubbish.

This is doom allright, doomed to hit boxoffice just like Resident Evil because idiot teenagers think they are watching quality stuff.

[pretentious_helvetica]

And why did they have to change the concept....whats wrong with beasts from hell?

Well, the beasts from Hell are reserved for the sequel. This is the Resident Evil version of Doom complete with fucking sewers and some cobblers about the human genome. I was very excited about the movie, especially seeing a very rough shakycam version of the FPS sequence. Seeing it in proper video ruins it somewhat - the "reload" bit sucks utter balls. I'm just gutted they didn't do the definitive movie version and find some way to line their pockets a bit more.

Hopefully Weta won't fuck over Halo as a movie.

Slinging insults at people with a different opinion to you is not good form, sir.

[pretentious_helvetica]

Well, the soundtrack's sorted.

(Website updated - here!)

[diggler]

Just watched it and...oh dear!

Actually started out quite promising too, but by the end...well...you'll see

Give us a shout if you want spoilers...

[Halo]

19% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

So, it's shit then.

[pretentious_helvetica]

Go onto the Official Site and check out some of the movie clips. They're very dull and unexciting, plus the interview section has The Rock talk about the movie before staring a bit too long for a few seconds. I saw fear in those eyes.

From what I can establish on rottentomatoes.com, fans of the game will like it more than horror fans, but not by much. I'll probably still pick up that there soundtrack though.

Quite true my bad.

The Rock is on The Daily Show on More 4 now. With the BFG.

[JohnC]

And it's was over so quick and didn't really say much about anything.
