Doom the Movie
« on: October 31, 2005, 16:55 »
This forum needs more off topic, so here it comes!

Has anyone seen DooM the movie? Has anyone *cough* downloaded *cough* it? Was it good?
Since I broke my finger and can't play World of Warcraft or type code fast, maybe I should *cough* download *cough* it. Of course I can always play roguelikes, but it's much slower now.
So if someone has seen it, can you recommend it? :)

PS. Yes, this was my first post.

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 ;).

Hmm ... my friend watched it at cinema. His description:

"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"

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)

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.

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.

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*

For anyone interested, this movie IMO, is a very good horror/action movie with elements classic to the game Doom 3, although being at the same time quite different. It is really worth a look, best results around midnight :P

The plot is interesting, IMO, nothing complex, but its "working well" and is well done. A simple but well done plot is better than a complex one no one understand.

Hope you'll like the movie! :P

Well its been pulled off the big screen here so I'm stuck waiting for it to come out on DVD..


I think the reason why they made the plotline have genomic research instead of hell is because Doom3 allready did that and there would be a big stink over how much the movie would have been a ripoff..

Lets see, It takes 3 months for most movies to get here, 4 or so more months for the DVD to come out and the broadband is crappy here (compared to, Say the U.S or others)
