    For a big-screen disposable, Doom has a few jolts, a few good laughs and an attractive female lead to whom you want to say, "What's a nice girl like you doing on a Mars like this?"

    It's really not all that bad. Ultra-derivative bigscreen transplant of one of the most successful (and controversial) games ever made plays like a mutant cross between a biotech thriller and a zombie movie, with all the alien autopsies, blood-gushing protuberances and meaningless scientific jargon that come with the territory.

    Like Doom itself, the movie is rich in backstory, but sparse in actual story.

    Basically a deadly dull rehash of "Resident Evil," which in turn was a third-generation clone of "Aliens."

    It was loosely based on the game, had some gore, some action, some good (and bad) acting, and a first-person scene! In other words :it's the best game adaption since... EVER!!!… Expand

    Doesn't break any new grounds, but it breaks enough old ones to keep us coming back for more!

    The movie itself does not follow the games storyline at all which is rather disapointing but what makes this movie watchable is the witty humour, watching alien heads role and ofcourse to see the BFG (Big F***ing Gun). Not to mention the smart caption near the end when you are transported into the actors body and feel as if you are playing the game.… Expand

    Not a good movie as far as I can tell. The movie is short, the plot is not that great, The Rock did die in the movie and the battle sequences does not feel like the one from the original Doom game. If this movie was based from Doom 3, that part should be acceptable, except this wasn't.… Expand
