Critic Reviews

Mike Clark

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?" Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Doom may be by the numbers, with a roll call of colorful types systematically exterminated while The Rock entertains with cartoonish expressions and reactions (the closest the film comes to personality). Read full review

Staff (Not credited)

The Rock's ungainly performance is somewhat alleviated by Karl Urban as a crew member and Rosamund Pike as his twin sister. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

We don't need a discussion of plot in a review of a movie made from a video game, do we? Nor do we care whether the characters are complicated (no), the acting is sophisticated (no), the direction is competent (no) or the camerawork is clever (no). Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

The latest failed Hollywood attempt to make a movie from a video game. Read full review

Go for the gore (there's lots of it), but stay for the immortal line: "Now let's go find the body this arm belongs to." Read full review

This claustrophobic mess of a movie offers only carnage. Read full review

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!!!

Take it for what it is. A monster bashing flick much like 80's the thing. Great special effects and that little sequence toward the end brought back memories of terrifying monsters jumping from every corner in the game. Overall the movie did a good job at staying true to the games. I loved it.
