Yes, you can bitch that it doesn't follow the storyline of the games, that it's not " Horror " based like the game is, and that it's nothing more than mindless action but in my book that's what Doom as been all along.
I've been playing Doom since the original, and it was NEVER scary to me... It was filled with mindless shooting and demons... Which amazingly enough is what we get with this movie.
No, it doesn't really follow the storyline, but I never realized that any game had 90 minutes worth of script to deliver for a movie ( Maybe why no games gone movie follow the central plot to a T? ) and this movie kicks ass for what it is.
What we get is a short and sweet action film in space... Throw in some solid effects ( Thank god some producers still feel that prosthetics are still useful in the world of cinema. The CG wasn't overdone in this film like it has been in just about every other film utilizing CG in recent history ) decent gore, some demons, The Rock and Karl Urban, and a BFG and you've got yourself a good action flick reminiscent of the 80's action flicks of yore.
A great action film, and I'm very pleased to own it. 9/10
