Doom Movie!

murfie

Ok its probably been posted before now but here is the doom movie trailer!!

Didnt hear about it till tonight, but im am probably way behind the times :rolleyes:

Not sure about the rock being in it but what ya goin to do!

It's been posted in Films several times.

Looks garbage tbh, apparently they've changed it to a virus and not the gates of hell bursting forth unleashing all the beasties. I've a feeling it'll just be another resident evil.

Yeah looks completely crap! They have thrown the story line out and completely destroyed it. Res written all over it and The Rock is the star to boot...

Mr E

I'm optimistic about it, to be honest. I like the trailer, I like the FPS stuff, and I like the fact that it'll be R rated in the states (so hopefully 18s here). So it won't be another AvP (fingers crossed, anyway....)

I liked the resi flicks though on seeing the trailer for this with no hell makes me think whats the point ?

madrab

im with d22 on this, trailer looks too gimicky, the fps thing is an interesting idea, but it looks to be overused in the movie


without all the original doom imagery (pentagrams, hanging corpses, swasticas, etc) it will never be what i wanted it to be

The biggest "oh" of all the "oh my Gods" I've ever said. The best thing about doom was the fact that it was about HELL OPENING.

Stupid developers.

Stupid fundementalist christians more like.

If House of the Dead is anything to go by it'll do quite well regardless of the ****ty quality. There are rows of that pos down in Xtravision.

The virus idea was scrapped ages ago I thought?

The trailers, the older one anyway, clearly shows soldiers battling the demons from the game...

yeah but they are probably just mutated dna thingys (that probably didnt live good christian lives)

Not even going to watch it tbh. The game has a **** storyline. I don't see the film being much better, especially with the rock on board.

Hell opening up, what beats that?

Yeh, they don't want to see any of hell's poor pets killed.

I think the first person parts are going to be a disaster. Fair focks to them for trying to be authentic but if that goes on for more than 2 or 3 minutes it's going to make everybody queasy. I remember having to walk out of the Blair Witch Project for that reason, it gave me a nasty headache.

I thought the same, it smacked of desperately trying to remain 'authentic' to the game or something (worked real well for Mario bros and mortal combat etc. :rolleyes: )

It's not the worst premise in the world for a movie but they should just forget about the game completely and try to make a decent movie.

Well why didn't they go with portals to other dimensions that accidentally open up the gates of hell. Instead the film story is about dna researchers on Mars (obvously) have tapped into the final 10% of human dna and unleashed fears greater than hell... sounds flimsy.

Also as regards to the fps, I was reading in empire that they only have about 8mins in total of fps that is used very sparingly in the film and mostly to move the story along. Lets be honest though, will be great to see in fps that dog/beast thing getting ripped open with a chain saw!

I do agree though that without the pentagrams, corpses etc... it just wont be the same. Lets face it they could have created one kick ass atmosphere with all that stuff.
