Doom (2005)
Great Movie Until
I went to see this movie... thinking it looked kind of good from seeing the trailer. But, I also kept in mind that this was just another video game turned into a movie. So, I went in sort expecting it to be bad but I had some hope for it.
During the movie, there are some great and intense sequences. The movie really pulled me in. But, there were scenes in the movie that started off really intense but then judging by the music... you would think it was going to turn into some sort of music video. They sort of took the that intense feeling the movie was initially giving to you.
The special effects were well done and you really believed that the monsters were there... The acting was great for the type of movie it was. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. The characters were cliché and that was to be expected.
However, the movie took a nose dive and crashed and burned. It happens as soon as the hero is injected with C24 and he becomes super human. And, he wakes up after being "dead" for awhile because of the C24 drug and the audience is seeing through his eyes, creating that first person shooter (FPS) feel. But, he looks at himself in the mirror and this cheesy guitar riff plays because he's ready to slaughter some mutants now.
And, I really lost interest in the movie. Then this FPS sequence starts... with a gun and he starts slaughtering all these monsters with the gun that hardly took care of them earlier in the movie. I don't know what the writers or whoever were thinking. But, I was throughly disgusted with the movie when this happened. They pulled me in and just shoved me out and made it really corny and really just... not believable anymore.
And, the ending of the movie is pretty lame. I dunno. It first reminded me of "Aliens" but then it just became terrible and corny and it just went from one type of movie that was good to a terrible-terrible movie.
You are better off watching the movie until he gets injected with C24. Then, get up and leave and assume he died and make up your own ending with the remaining characters. You'll like the movie a lot more. I promise.
