Wonderful character development!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Over the years this movie is holding up better and better to other movies from its generation. The Rock is really cool in one of his first lead roles and Carl Urban is good in almost every movie he appears. Only a few downthings to this movie and thats the somewhat thin plot and the really bad "first person scène". Overall give this movie a chance even if you've seen it some 10 years ago. You won't be dissapointed!

It could have been a great movie. Good soundtrack, good overall theme, decent actors, but the movie still fails. It's because the script is so stupid, and it had little or nothing to do with the original Doom's story. These zombies are not from hell, there are no demons, no demonic bosses etc. There is a mutant which is similar to Hell's Knight, but it's still different, and we know that it's just a genetic mutation, so it's not scary at all. In the original Doom it was scary because these creatures came directly from Hell with a portal. And the Rock shouldn't be the villain in this story.

This movie was actually exceptionally good in my opinion. For what it is supposed to be (action sci-fi horror) it hit every requirement on par.Amazing special effects and practical effects, great costume, great budget production (amazing scenery) and a decent plot which was well fleshed out with interesting characters. On top of the awesome practical effects, it had good camera angles during the action scenes which give you a good view of the creature which weren't OVERLY SHAKY and don't give you nausea like most modern movies.I think this movie gets a bad rap just because of a couple stupid decisions by the characters and characters which were frustrating or making stupid decisions. ALSO SOME POOR ACTING but only by part of the cast. I thought the woman Sam played a horrible role, she kept making the audience feel like she was secretly hiding something with that evil, blank, and cold look on her face. Plus, she wanted to take time to try to heal everybody or do autopsies in the middle of a massive gunfight/evacuation.Perhaps the reason why this movie got low ratings were the stupid decisions made by the characters (i.e. the main character's decision to FIGHT THE ROCK hand to hand instead of just shoot him with his bullets), or the overly-dramatic scene when the movie turns into a first-person shooter (I LOVED that part and thought it was done very well) even though this appeals highly to anybody who has ever played a first person shooter. This movie held true to gamer's hearts, including things such as the gravity gun (which is shown to us early on but doesn't become available until you unlock it later on in the game, just like in movie) and a bunch of other easter eggs for gamers.All in all, this movie deserves AT LEAST a 7/10 for its genre and artistic intent. If you watch this expecting for a challenging mystery filled with surprises and plot turns, don't come here as you will be disappointed and will rightly give the movie a 5/10 as it is currently rated. However, go here for the right things and you will not be let down!Highly underrated movie!

Despite not having a whole lot to do with the video games, Doom is still a rush of schlock and awe silliness, getting more fun and ridiculous in equal amounts near it's nonsensical ending. Karl Urban and The Rock are the tough guys for the job when it comes to scoping out a Martian research base that's accidentally opened up a portal to hell, unleashing all kinds of lovely things. Rock is Sarge, stoic commander of this unit, and Urban is John Grimm (he lives up to his last name) a battle scarred badass who has personal stake in fighting these monsters. His sister (Rosamund Pike) is a scientist on the base, and is now in a great deal of danger. After a neat Google Earth type zoom in on the Martian surface (ironically the only shot in the film that suggests they're even on the red planet), it's off to dank corridors, vast bunkers and beeping control panels, an Aliens-esgue siege on horrors of the dark that quickly goes sideways on them. It's run of the mill stuff save for one stroke of brilliance: a pulse racing first person shooter sequence that showcases a POV of Urban shooting, slashing and chain-sawing his way through alien flesh. It's a bold move that pays off immensely and is quite fun. The rest of their team is forgettable except for Richard Brake as Portman, the loudmouth A Hole of the bunch, a refreshingly animated performance in a roomful of muted, grim characters. The monster from the game shows up, a hulking hell pig nicknamed Pinky that tirades it's way through everything until Urban gives it what for. This ain't no great flick, but as far as video game movies go, you could do way worse. There's definitely enough gore for the hounds, and it's adequately stylish in presentation.
