The Rock is quite far from his Awesome Fast and Furious days but good enough. This movie has some really nice visuals, less use of CGI and more focus and practical effects really shows. I hated the explanation of the origins of the demons, it was unnecessary and wasn't convincing enough for me. This new origin story just made it difficult to see this as a DOOM movie, but its still an alright movie and that fps scene was pretty amazing. This could have been a great DOOM movie if only we would have got The Rock vs Cyberdemon.

The human mind is limited. It is limited in the way it has invented the gods. It is limited in the way it imagines the near future. Ten years later the humans have game consoles far more advanced than the viewer can see in the first three minutes. But yea, the fans will talk about the story. There does not seem to be much of a story. Only action pasted over the few silly lines of text delivered with a mindless game. Well, there is the violence. That was the easy part anyway. Otherwise, a rip off Predator. Or maybe Aliens.Now comes the good part, the computer scientist kind of imagination. On Mars people have a genetic studies lab. It is below ground, obviously. It is on Mars because it was probably the closest thing to New York City in terms of rent or something. And the lab has infirmary, of course, since land is so cheap on Mars. And below everything you have subway-like sewers. And those are filled with sh*t water of course. Enough so the monsters could hide beneath the surface. And the facility has huge metal doors. Yet the access to the sewer is made through man holes with some sort of light manhole covers. It makes perfect sense. Only there is not much light to compensate for the special effects shortcomings.Otherwise, normal stuff. The doctor comes to retrieve the data. But does a dissection. The kind that you drop the flashlight in. And while the examination gloves are short, the doc has no problem putting the whole arm inside an unknown humanoid monster.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

This movie must be rated at least nine out of ten since the cast is well- suited for an action film, the plot is coherent and bears resemblance to the original game and acting is , in contrast to what other critics say, is actually awesome. The psychological and physical struggle between The Rock and Urban is well told throughout the movie, thus the climax is their final fight. Overall, a good plot and characters make a good sci-fi action adventure movie. This film is definitely worth watching twice.

This movie is about as bad as I thought it would be, so at least it wasn't worse. Look, a 4/10 isn't the worst, but it's still very bad. I'm kind of familiar with the "Doom" game. I played a flash version of it and had tons of fun with it. This movie is mostly just a ripoff of "Alien" with some "Predator" thrown in. Well, "Alien Vs. Predator" had recently come out. It's just people looking for monsters in a spaceship. They even directly rip off the dialogue from "Predator". It's safe for me to say that this is the worst movie the Rock was ever in. Well, that I've seen at least.Two thirds into the movie, the Rock just goes insane for no reason. I guess it's fine if they change the demons to aliens. Well, actually they were genetic experiments, which is probably even less plausible. I wish the Rock could have turned more into a literal monster. The characters are mostly annoying with every guy being sexist and constantly insulting one another. Then again, there is that one great five minute scene that's directly based on the games. Remember how I said some movies would have worked better as short films? Just show that one part as a short film. *1/2
