Doom

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 civilisation; 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.

    Not What It Could've been

    This film could've worked so much better if they'd stuck to the idea of the games.

    A typical thing to say as a fan of the games, I know.

    The film starts quite well, with quite a good cast really, and with a few subtle references to the games eg, the coloured doors. However, when the film is half way through, and the plot has been explained. That's when it goes downhill. As it turns out, all the monsters are actually mutations due to a bad reaction to a genetic experiment.

    Sound like Resident Evil at all?

    The monsters resemble those of Doom 3 in looks only, they can't throw any fireballs though. I would have thought they film makers would have stuck to the idea that they were an invasion force from Hell, which would have been better. The part where all types of chaos breaks out only happens in the form of a first person (complete with the hovering gun from the games) for about 15 mins.

    I my mind, that doesn't seem to do the Doom name justice.

    If you're curious, and after a film where you can pretty much take your brain out and put it on one side for an hour and a half, then this is it. That's only my oppinion though, and so I leave you to decide on it.

    Doom doom doooooooooom

    A relatively average film - but TOTALLY worth watching it for the 5 minute first-person scene: KICKASS.

    If you're a fan of the Doom series (in particular Doom 3) you'll probably enjoy the film.

    There are also some demi-interesting special features (playing tips etc).

    Connery voted greatest British hero

    • 26 Jul 2006

    Sean Connery isn't quite over-the-hill yet, with a recent survey commissioned by Thorpe Park revealing that for many Britons he is their 'greatest British hero'. Although the robust Scot's position at the top of the list is not in question, the validity of a greatest ever heroes' poll that includes Jamie Oliver, Ant and Dec and Ricky Gervais certainly has to be. Mr Connery has obviously found favour with the British public for heroic roles such as Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez in Highlander, Read more
