This forum needs more off topic, so here it comes!
That's the spirit ;).
Wel, I'm going to it as soon as I get to Moscow (that'll be November 7th), maybe as self-present for my 18th birthday, which will be November 18th ;)). There are very mixed review of the movie all around, but generally - plot is all changed, so be prepared; it's not Doom, it's just Doom-inspired stuff. But as such, it's said to be one hell of an action, and there's some 1st person view, just like in a game in there ;))).
Download, download it, you'll be the first one of our bunch to take a taste :). Consider it being a scout - but no spoilers ;).

That's the spirit! :-D. As long as it is even remotely on-topic it can go into the Discussion forum ;-).

maybe I should *cough* download *cough* it.
Rather not. Simillary to the Matrix sequels, Doom is a movie that is fun only on the big screen.

I'd like to go to the cinema, but there is one little problem. They wouldn't let me in, I'm too young ;)
I've read some reviews about it too and I got to admit I'm a little disappointed because there are no cool demons, but zombie like scientists. I wanted to see the hell and such but no :(
Anyways I'm downloading it because I probably don't have time for a full anime series and I want to watch something.
As a side note congratulations already, Igor!
By the way, have you guys read any Doom fanfiction? My friend read about 300 page pdf book about Doom and explained 2 hours the plot to me :) I'm not sure where it's now though. (After knowing everything I just read some chapters here and there)

I've read Doom: the comic
Kheh, funny :-P. But quite poor plot-wise :-/

What do you mean? They don't "come" from hell, ok, but they are the same. I saw imp, hell knight and pinky, so its still Doom to me.

I think they do come from hell, at least everything I've read says so. You should read the prelude and endings to Doom. I'm not gonna explain the whole idea here if you don't ask me, but here are some links you might find interesting:
Prelude
Endings
Well now I have watched the movie. The reviews pretty much say the important: it's action without complex plot. If you like that kind of movies you should watch it. At least I liked it and particularly the first person view part, it was just like the game! The monster things look a bit like imps and such but they dont breathe fire :( If I'd have to compare it to some other movie, I'd say it's very much like Resident Evil, though I liked Doom more. It had same kind of shocking things and brainless monsters to kill.

"Mars - check
UAC Corporoation - check
UAC research labs on mars - check
Something REALLY fucked up - check
BFG - check
All the monsters are mutants and infect humans with some virus - W ... T .. F ?? ... So much for keeping up with the game's story"
Most unfortunatly the BFG was renamed to "Bio Force Gun" and looked pretty much like what the plasma gun in Doom3 looked like, Only alot better looking and the shots were transperent.
The part about the virus involved UAC doing genomic research, Mapping out the last 10% of human genome. From then on they made a serum, Whether you were turned into a superhuman or a demon depended on whether you were genetically good or evil.
And I havent even watched the movie yet.Quoting: Glowie

Imps dont breath fire, They throw it.
You were thinking of dragons, Or the D&D imps. Or fire Meepits. Or fire elementals. Or arcane spellcasters. Or monsters with class levels. Or *splat*
*ahem*

It isn't out for you yet? It is me (canada/quebec, if your wondering).

Ah yeah sorry about that. I confirmed it and you were correct. I always thought that imps somehow shoot from their mouth/breathe it. The old Doom 1/2 graphics are misleading. :)

I really didnt like it too much... the plot was... there was no plot :p
What destroyed Doom: the Movie was political correctness :-/. Need I elaborate on that?
Quoting: Kornel Kisielewicz
Oh come on -- no Hell, no Big FUCKing Gun, no Cyber nor Spiderdemon? This supposed to be Doom? I rather see it as some shitty second grade SciFi movie :-/.
Im sorry but I think saying this is just stupid... they made it more serious, no hell and what? there are still many thing about Doom even if its not what YOU think make doom. If you dont like the movie for this, then im sorrry, but its not a way to judge it. The movie is not perfect, but stop expecting a movie to be EXACTLY LIKE THE GAME. Look like its what everyone wanted so everyone get "omg this movie sucks"...
Yet, its one of the best movie I saw, with some bad stuff here and there but nothing serious. Now please, if your going to insult the game, gives a real reason... and yeah, elaborate, 'cause I guess I don't get it.
That post 3 posts up was really..really..good.
I fully agree with that one.

On the subject of game-to-movies, It seems that Peter Jackson (Dir. LOTR, King Kong) is doing the Halo movie..
I wonder how that one will turn out, Perhaps the dissapointment of DOOM the movie will jade moviegoers a bit..

Although he did a great Return of the King, the other two LotR adaptations were average. And te King Kong movie was a piece of shit. So I guess that's still a matter of chance.
