Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re In the not-so-distant future, a portal has been discovered leading from Earth to Mars, where the government operates a research base to examine the ruins of a lost civilization; scientists are studying it, conducting experiments they perhaps shouldn't be, and trying find out what happened. Answer: nothing good. That's what Sarge (The Rock) and his unit of high-tech Marines find out the hard way when they're sent to investigate a disturbance on the base--which turns out to be nothing less than an infestation of terrifying, evil, flesh-eating monsters.
DOOM, based on one of the most popular video games of all time, knows exactly what it wants to do, and wastes no time in doing it. Andrzej Bartkowiak, the director of lean, effective action flicks like ROMEO MUST DIE and EXIT WOUNDS, gets right to the meat of the movie: marines versus monsters in dark, dank corridors. The Rock brings just the right balance of bad-ass attitude and deadpan humor to the role of Sarge, while the cast's other standout is Reaper (LORD OF THE RINGS' Karl Urban), who tries to repair his strained relationship with his sister Samantha (Rosamund Pike), one of the base's scientists. They're joined by a motley crew, including the twisted Portman, intensely religious Goat, affable Duke, and newbie The Kid. While the plot differs from that of the game in a few key ways, it remains true to the spirit of the original--a no-frills fest of shooting, explosions, gore, and vicious zombies. The game was, of course, a "first-person shooter," and in an inspired moment, the movie turns itself into one for a stretch. It's exhilarating, as are several surprising twists that separate this fun, streamlined action extravaganza from lesser video game adaptations.

 Big disappointment
The makers of the movie should have spent more time playing the game. The game isn't a pure shoot-em-up. It's not pure fast action and blood and guts. Sure, these elements make for a kick butt game, but what sets Doom apart from other games of the same genre is the atmosphere. The game creeps you out, and does an excellent job of it. Sadly. the movie was almost void of this quality. No goosebumps or chills down my back like what the game would do.
The movie is closer to the Resident Evil type adaptation. And closer to Resident Evil in general in the fact that the movie features creatures that come not from a portal to Hell, but from a genetic experiment gone wrong which infects those who are wounded by an infected. In my opinion this was the greatest disappointment of all. Doom is about creatures from Hell. It always has been. But I guess the makers of the movie decided that Resident Evil has a better scenario, so they ripped off the story from that game/movie and then twisted Doom into it's image.
I would like to say that the action makes up for the rest of the disappointments, but the action is average. It's nothing special and, with one exception, isn't anything new. The only exception was the FPS perspective that it uses towards the end. It was a clever idea, but still didn't manage to impress.
If you are a fan of the game, don't watch this movie on that basis alone. You'll end up angry and let down. This movie's only value is as a cheap action/horror flick. If you're one of those intellectual movie critics that appreciates those intangible elements of movies such as inspiration and emotional connections with the characters, then you should avoid this movie like the plague. But if you're looking for fast action and lots of explosions and gory effects, then have at it.

The Doom of the Rock.
Did this movie Doom his career? Maybe, maybe not. Doom writers could have left out some sleazy language. And a combo word that should have died with The Movie of the Shaft. You know the overused curse for everything when the character is trying to be super-bad. It's laughable to me. Childish.
A Point of View sequence was good to see from the game, which I didn't see.
A usual "bug hunt" movie. Could have been and Alien or any such generic creature as the bad guy.
Not original but has its moments and worth the viewing.

Doom video
$8.05
Veteran slashers Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees join forces in this combination sequel to the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and FRIDAY THE 13TH series. The film begins with a quick recap of both Freddy and Jason's "lives," underscoring their respective motivations to kill and their distinct weaknesses. Freddy (Robert Englund) explains that the present children of Elm St. (including Monica Keena, Jason Ritter, Katherine Isabelle, and Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child) have no memory of him, and if they don't know he exists, he can't enter their dreams to kill them. Ingeniously, he reaches out to Jason (Ken Kirzinger), the brutish death machine from Camp Crystal Lake, to go on an Elm Street killing spree, hoping a lot of gory murder will jog the town's memory.
Jason is up to the task, quickly dispensing with teenager after teenager in suburban homes, cornfields, medical labs and, of course, the forest. Freddy grows jealous over Jason's body count, and so must intervene, setting off a battle royale between the two highly adored slasher heroes across dreamworlds and realities. In another post-modern twist, a character seemingly modeled after Jay from Kevin Smith's films appears in the movie, adding both a comedic element and another level of reality vs. fiction. FREDDY VS. JASON employs a variety of special effects to update these undying series, not the least of which is uniting their once disparate stories.
This DVD feature film stars Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, Christopher George Marquette, Lochlyn Munro and Robert Englund. Special DVD features in this 2-dvd set include 18 deleted scenes, alternate opening and ending, commentaries, interviews, production documentary, visual effects documentary, music video lots more.

But Drake's girlfriend has made a pact with the devil and brings her deceased lover back from the dead.
