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!!

It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order.

by Easy Tiger

Doomsday won me over the moment I saw Eden's removable eye(she has a prosthetic eye) with a tiny camera inside to record stuff with(very Scifi).The movie is massively over the top from the first few minutes, with a blood spattering massacre at the new Great Wall of Scotland, and then a sequence where Eden takes a bunch of random bad guys. (There's a naked woman in the bathtub, so of course she has a shotgun with her. Who wouldn't?)And it just gets crazier and crazier. Strap yourself in tight cause you're going on the ride of your life. It's a thrilling, gory and epic masterpiece. It's 2035 and Eden is sent into Glasgow to locate a cure for a 2nd outbreak of the Reaper virus. Her task once she joins her crew beyond the quarantine wall,will be anything but easy. The savage survivors who've been shunned by their own goverment, are very angry to say the least and will stop at nothing to stop Eden & her crew in their tracks,especially once they realize Eden won't be their ticket to freedom.

Move Over Snake Plissken...

by shepx2

There's a new kickin' baddy across the Atlantic. Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) will remind you of Snake from the minute you catch her in action. Neil Marshall's rendition of a virul apocolypse is well executed, packed with action and some slightly suspenseful thrills. There are some great one-liners and the fight scenes are pretty cool.

Don't expect the movie to get nominated by the Academy, but these types never do. It's worth checking out, and the hour and 45 minutes go by quickly. It's a great no-brainer flick with all the favs: fights, car chase, witty English dialogue, and blood.

Everything you've read is true... go see it anyway.

by gdawz

All reviews agree that Doomsday is a rip of several hundred similar genre movies mushed together. You're openness to being entertained (and watching countless hands/heads chopped off) will determine whether or not you consider this a good thing. Descent (the director's previous film) garnered a lot of positive praise as it had been a while since such a bare-bones horror movie had hit the big screen. Doomsday is certainly the opposite of bare-bones, what with its frenetic pace and sprawling settings (from post-apocalyptic to zombie town to medieval to ridiculous car chases), but I believe the film retains the same sort of dedication to the audience: this isn't a pandering plot with clap-worthy taglines. The film takes an idea and takes it in every direction possible. Ridiculous? Hell yes. But any movie that tires me out by the end credits is worth the price of admission. So if you're already having doubts, stay away. But if you're just curious...? Go!

Niel Marshall is the new horror

by rarebreed 666

Doomsday is a great horror flick throw back stlye to the films of the 80s and 70s. I saw the flick last night at midnight and I must admit when Marshall has some big time bucks behind him this dude can create one hell of a ride for a viewer.This film had great special effects, good acting, and just over the top madness. I will say if severed heads are your thing then this is for you but if you like more Hollywood horror like the Grunge then stay at home cause this film brings the blood and guts from the opening scene till the closing at it is ****in wonderful.

Awesome and amazing, if you can stomach gore. :]

by mir00

I am in love with this movie. The gore itself bordered on ludicrous, but I personally can appreciate shock value, and they did a really great job in making it look realistic. In that light, I didn't have a problem with any of it. In fact, I found it to be really entertaining and creative. I was laughing the whole time.

It also had a very imaginative twist on the entire movie in general and combined several different genres into one, which is a first for me.

Doomsday definitely wasn't boring to be sure, and everyone I went with loved it as well. If you liked The Descent and Dawn of the Dead, I think you'll appreciate this movie. I wouldn't take a kid to see this, but if you can look past small storyline oopses you will take this as a radical thrill ride!

Exciting, creative, gory fun!

Doomsday...

by SheilaE

My girlfriend and I went and saw this at an early matinee because we wanted to hear and see the movie, not the annoying people who never know when to shut up!! It was fabulous! We were the only two in the theater at that particular showing. The soundtrack is awesome, says my girlfriend. You have to see it in big screen mode. It reminds us of a modern "Mad Maxx" xcept "Rhona Mitra" is the boss in this movie. We especially went to see it because we followed Rhona Mitra in her episodes of Nip Tuck...plus she's hot.
Special effects were to die for...no pun intented. We loved it! My girlfriend wants to own the movie and download some of the songs from the soundtrack. I would like a couple of posters from the movie.
It was off the chain as far as we are concerned.

Mom & Daughter Together

by hottroddus

Movie was okay. It was very similar to Mad Max meets Resident Evil. The storyline was weak, but the action was always going. It did keep my mom awake. I would wait for the video.
