    Fair enough

    by Kaenias

    I enjoyed this movie. Just got back from seeing a midnight show of it.
    Of course it has the whole violence through military means, good ol' ugly sticks, and other fun and crazy nonsuch. The movie is very snap-snap, or in other words, it flows along quickly and hastily. The movie was entertaining, with a few quirks and giggles here and there. There are many cliche's in the movie, but they're not so blatantly blatant leaving u wondering if u should get ur money back. The movie moves quick enough to barely touch on these.
    Some good fight scenes, a lil' lil' bit of drama, mixed with a good deal of gore n' guts. Love that stuff.
    I found it satisfactory.

    I REALLY wanted to like this movie

    by Frame_Ranger_X

    I had the idea that while this film indeed borrows heavily from Mad Max, Escape From New York and 28 Days Later it would offer a fresh blend of the three. Sadly it is not. This falls directly into the category of "Check your brain at the door" action flick. Eypatch wearing Plissken, I mean remote cybernetic camera eye Eden Sinclair revels in being an anti-hero I suppose... it just never really comes out on screen. While Max offered a rather realistic vision of civil decline Doomsday slaps your intellect by showcasing an "end of the world" scenario in which those left in the quarantine zone want for NOTHING. Plenty of gas for their vehicles, tattoo parlors that must have stocked up in anti****tion of the end of civilization, plenty of water (for bathing obviously since almost NO ONE is covered in grime) and a crapload of hair gel.
    At the other end of the spectrum there is an INDESTRUCTIBLE Rolls Royce.. I mean damn... you can't ram a car into a bus w/out damage, right??

    Doomsday (28 days revised)

    by

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
    It was a great way to spend some time relaxing after Easter; I took a couple friends along who hadn't been in a movie in a while, and also share my dry sense of humor, and we laughed through most of the movie. Gore turns us on! The lapse into medievalism with McDowell as scientist *** king was a bit much, and the editing on this segment could have been better; but, overall, it did lend a bit of credence to the movie considering it's locale. As for the title; since the movie is by the creators of the 28 days franchise, it's very apparent that there seems to be a film niche building here with viral contagion as the culprit. I applaud them for looking at the same movie theme in a different perspective. Doomsday seems to be a more streamlined, self-contained and better paced movie than it's predecessor; no drawn out introductions of characters ala Aliens or the aforementioned franchise.
    I'm looking forward to the sequels...Yes, there will be sequels!!
