DanielB.Mar 17, 20088It's all about gore, violence, boobies, and a very cool, punk-rock sacrificial dance-number. If that's not your cup of tea than don't bother. If it is, get a bucket of popcorn, leave your criticism for the real world, and have a blast!

TobiasW.Jul 16, 20089A very entertaining movie - some great homages to Mad Max and Escape from New York, as well as some great music choices. Grab some beer and some friends and you won't go wrong.

JaynoAug 4, 20080No. Ultra garbage boring and confusing

-
KevinN.Aug 5, 20088Any fan of post-apocalyptic films should see this movie. Tons of explosive action, and a little touch of suspense. The only problem I had with the film was the overuse of violence and the storyline wasn't much, but I could watch Doomsday again and still enjoy it.

-
BrianHSep 1, 20097Guilty pleasure for sure. But it's a fun tribute to the Mad Max movies and Escape From LA. Rhona Mitra is hot in this movie. I admit that it does have so unintentional humor, but it's the kind of movie you will enjoy if you don't expect something of high art.

-
JohonaM.Mar 11, 20081This movie was awful. The one is for Rhona Mitra, who is hot. Smokin' hot.

EhrenG.Mar 15, 20089This is such a viscerally thrilling, super clever, post-modern throwdown.

AlecB.Mar 16, 20087Why people are giving this movie such negative reviews. i actually enjoyed the movie, it had a pretty good story line 2 it and the action was nonstop. Not as good at the decent but pretty close?

AdamL.Mar 21, 20088About as deep and substantive as a pudding cup, this is not a great movie. It is, however, a great movie to watch. It riffs on more post-apocalyptic movies than you can count, and you just don't care. It's worth watching, and lots of fun.

stuarthammMar 20, 200810wonderfully fun ride. i go to see movies as an escape this was a ride that i never could predict where it was going next. i must concede that it is a mix of many movies but had enough originality to keep me interested.

KimApr 13, 20087The movie was unrealistic. But the film rocks as a whole. If you're into horror with morbid images and smashed bodies, this is the movie for u otherwise if you're not into those things, this movie is definitely not for you.

ChrisMay 10, 20089Hell of a good Carpenter-Mad Max flick. Highly recommended!

bigGMay 16, 20082This film was basically a bunch of emo warlords killing everything around them.. what was the point in this movie? It didnt even make sense.

ZoeMay 19, 20087What do you get if you combine "Aliens", "Mad Max 2", "Robin Hood", "Gladiator", and "Top Gear? You get an action-packed and very funny film called "Doomsday". The plot waivered in places, but overall it was a lot of fun to watch. Just don't go in expecting anything too serious.
-
-
RickyJun 11, 20080Mad Max and robin hood had a love child that turned out to be a bently GT. without a doubt the worst film iv ever seen. Idea for the film wasnt bad but just went in a farsical direction. Thot it would be like dog soldiers....i was wrong, very wrong.

JayH.Jul 18, 20085Sort of a Mad Max meets Resident Evil. Plenty of action, but not very creative and unpleasant to watch. The cast is fair. Just another movie with a dismal view of the future.

Anme-MarieM.Dec 18, 20089Loved this film. Gory but satisfying. Mad Max meets 28 Weeks Later. Absolutely loved Rhona Mitra - she has it all over Lara Croft as posh birth who kicks butt. A great surprise.
-
-
MilesM.Mar 11, 20080Trite, boring, lame...vintage Neil Marshall
-
-
BenP.Mar 10, 20080It's hard to imagine that any movie could be worse than Marshall's "The Descent"...this one isn't, but it comes close. This guy is worse than Uwe Boll.
-
-
GloreC.Mar 13, 200810The descent, quite similar to this is a downhil crapshow horror compared to this. Most horro films like this deserve crap, but this was amazing. Its not the genuine, which is not displayed in this. It is the genre treatment. They use this kind of genre at the best. The movie was realistic, and great!
-
-
MichaelP.Mar 14, 20080I allowed my admiration for Marshall's "Dog Soldiers" and, even more, "The Descent" overcome my reluctance to see a movie that's not screened for critics. And you'd better believe I regret it. Just absolutely awful. This is the movie to beat for Worst of 2008.

LuJ.Mar 15, 200810i can see the bias in the neg reviews from a mile away. they either hate the director outright or they didn't like it that the movie wasn't pre-screened by the press. oh well. this movie was excellent. its great to see a virus flick where you don't have to be a zombie to still be a monster and keep the movie interesting. great fight scenes as well as plot. enjoy and cheers!
-
-
ChrisD.Mar 16, 20087It was hard to tell if I was going to enjoy it from what I saw in the beginning. In the end though I found it to be worth the money and entertaining enough to probably buy it on DVD later.

DrewFMar 16, 20088If you know who John Carpenter and George Miller are, then run out and see this flick post-haste. If you don't, you probably shouldn't bother.
-
-
RyanG.Mar 16, 20087Neil Marshall has proven that the action movie is alive and well. Yes, Doomsday is not The Descent, but Doomsday is exactly what Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, and any lame video game adaptation should have been. Finally, a director delivers a movie that deserves a strong R rating. Paul W.S. Anderson and Uwe Bowl only wish they had the talent of Marshall.
-
-
WerewolfMar 17, 200810Doomsday is an entertaining thrill ride with boobies.
-
-
EnriqueMar 17, 20083Derivative. poorly conceived. It is already becoming an easy formula. I am getting tired of it.
-
-
michaelHMar 18, 20087good but not great entertianed me enough. if you have seen escape from ny or la then this movie is basicaqlly the same area. still entertaining enough to get on DVD or Blu-Ray.
-
-
ArianeA.Mar 20, 200810I love it! I love Rhona Mitra. She rocks, really kicks some ass & super cool! All the actors & crews really did there job! Great job guys! What a great movie you've made! I've been telling everybody to really watch it. :)
-
-
ErikR.Mar 22, 20087Ok i just saw this tonight. Its the weirdest movie iv ever seen. umm its like what if you isolate a country completely cut off. what would happen? like i said it was the weirdest movie ive seen. i did like the scotish accents

docMay 11, 20083Couldn't decide what it wanted to be... just felt like every scene or gag or action scene was mistimed and limp. Big disappointment.

BrianJun 8, 20085The film is a good idea poorly executed. The inconsistencies are frustrating. I found myself wanting to like the movie but not able. If you like B movies you will love it as for the rest of us it leave a lot to be desired.

ErnestSAug 20, 20080Absolutely terrible, hardly anything made sense in this movie. I never knew Bently made slow automobiles.

AntzMar 22, 20098Entertaining action flick. Basically a Scottish Mad Max variation. If you like the over the top 80's action flick, you'll like this.
-

JoseF.Mar 11, 20080Simply awful.
-
-
NookL.Mar 12, 20080Honestly, I don't know what the suits saw in this script. Piss-poor.
-
-
[Anonymous]Mar 14, 20089Fantastic homage to classics like Road Warrior and Escape from New York without losing sight of the fast-paced story. Clearly made by people who love movies. Outstanding.
-
-
RyanJPMar 15, 200810I don't know what these negative reviews are trying to say, but Dog Soldiers sucked, The Descent was good, and Doomsday was just as good. In it's genre it's one of the most exciting in recent months that I've seen!! This is just an exciting action film, not an Oscar-winner, so just enjoy it!
-
-
PhilSMar 16, 20089I enjoyed this movie is a compilation, as some said above, of Mad Max, 28 Days Later, Escape from New York, John Capenters Ghosts of Mars.

MarkG.Mar 16, 20080A terrible waste of a ticket purchase. Garbage.
-

GarrisonH.Mar 17, 20089This is the movie P.W.S. Anderson, Tarantino, Rodriguez and countless others have been trying to make for years. Its... whats the word again.. oh yeah.. Fun. you all remember that right?

GeorgeN.Jul 31, 20084This was an exciting movie. However, it lacked inspiration, good acting, and depth. I enjoyed it but I would never see it again.

ChrisC.Aug 27, 20085Starts promisingly but then proceeds to steal all the best bits from Mad Max, 28 Weeks Later, The Running Man, Waterworld (ahem). Good tongue in cheek moments but the futuristic Glasgow is unconvincing - if you've ever been you'll know it's always like that!
-
-
GGillMar 17, 20099Quite enjoyable if you understand what the director was trying to accomplish, which was an homage to some really fantastic films in the past 30 years.
-

JPacMar 27, 20092The worst film I have seen in the last few years.
-
-
ShallunDSep 12, 20093It's amazing to see that this movie with plotholes can get at least a 51 rating while the movie KNOWING which actually makes sense a far worse rating.Shame on you people!!!

63Marshall delivers what he promises and Mitri makes for a cool, kick-arse heroine in the Ellen Ripley mold.
-
40I still believe with all my heart that no movie with real car stunts, a tough-chick hero, and a severed head that thunks directly into the camera can be all bad. But this is pushing it.

70Neil Marshall's flair for visceral action more than compensates for his script's lack of conceptual novelty in Doomsday. Principally South Africa-shot tale of a post-apocalyptic Great Britain cobbles together large chunks of "Escape From New York," "The Road Warrior," "28 Days Later" and "Resident Evil," but those with a taste for revved-up, splattery fantasy thrills won't be complaining.
