Doomsday - Page 3

Ionsniper · 03-15-2008, 01:25 PM

I went into the movie with little to no hope for this movie as a serious movie on politics, zombieism, and plot line. I was pleasantly surprised to find me and my friend laughing through the whole movie. I enjoyed it for what it was. a simple mad Max type movie that there to have fun, and not be too serious.

Well, that should pretty much reserve your room in hell. Or at least upgrade you to the executive suite.

It's not as good or as smart as The Descent, but I enjoyed it - the Road Warrior knockoff genre deserves more attention, and there was plenty of fun stuff in this to justify the $6.50 matinee ticket. The story could have been much-improved, don't get me wrong, but there was a substantial badass factor and a substantial number of "Oh shit, I did not just see that" scenes.

You sir, are a liar of epic proportion. You'd hit that and you know it. Don't deny

It wasn't bad for a mindless action movie. It had enough novel touches and stylistic action to be entertaining. I especially liked the convoy of Road Warrior vehicles, and the heroes driving around in those big APCs.

Wasn't Howard Stern working on a Doomsday movie for a while? I figure this isn't it, considering it doesn't have his named plastered all over it.

This looks like one of those chicks with so damn much plastic injected into her boobs that she's bouncing vertically off your chest while you're thrusting horizontally. Not that that's not entertaining and all - just saying.

I prefer natural boobies. But yes, every guy on this forum would "hit that".

I found the cannibalism kinda fucking retarded.

worst movie ever.

Vvoid · 03-26-2008, 02:17 PM

I wouldn't rank it as the worst movie I've ever seen, but it could have been so much better. I had already read this thread and didn't intend to go see it in the theaters, but when my power went off for 2+ hours with no end in sight, I decided to go sit in a movie theater instead of in the dark at home. I did enjoy myself, to an extent, but I wouldn't say this was "good" in very many ways at all. The chick is super hot and I really would like to see her in some more movies, and there were some decent ideas and visual effects. The wall closing on everyone, while totally unrealistic, was pretty cool.

Overall, 4 out of 10 I'd say. Could have been MUCH, MUCH better with just a little work. Oh, and I'm not sure if I'd have seen it without prior knowledge or not, but the car having a smashed windshield for 10 seconds and then being completely pristine afterward is a serious WTF moment. Which guy makes the decision that something like that is ok?

Rhaze · 03-28-2008, 12:42 AM

the medieval shit was so lame.

Korioni · 04-23-2008, 02:30 AM

Bumping this so that I can bitch about the movie a bit. I completely missed Doomsday in normal theaters and went today to a dollar theater. How long was this thing out until they shoved it out of cinemark? Like 2 weeks?

Anyway yeah, resorting to cannibalismlol500fuckingcowsintheroad. And wait, didn't somebody already do this movie? Like... resident evil... or Children of Men, or Dawn/Sean of he Dead, or V for Vendetta or I am Legend, or Mad Max? Except that this movie apparently took all the very worst aspects from all of those and mashed it up.

Editing. Learn how to do it. When they're doing their whole Road Warrior scene with the Bentley the bad guy jumps through their window and... wriggles his body for 5 motherfucking minutes while they toss the bloody camera around the set?

So many contradictions! Two lines in particular screwed with me, both from the gangster leader with the mohawk.
Line1: "I knew he was lying to us about people living outside the wall!!!1"
Line2: "I've seen too many of my brothers get shot down trying to rush that wall!"

...

What the fuck exactly did he think the wall with mounted, inward facing turrets was for? Then there's the fact that they actually managed to miss the gigantic swarm of cows on the way. And apparently in the twenty years between quarantine and the movie setting the old guy is the only freaking one to have been alive at the time. Everyone else is exactly 19 years old and born from thin air.

Mind you, tonight I also went to see The Forgotten Kingdom, also with retarded holes and no story to speak of. The difference? Actual action sequences. Doomsday had none. Just pierced wriggling naked guys with a fuckload of editing cuts.

And Rhona Mitra is hot enough that she almost made watching Skinwalkers bearable. Almost.

I just like any excuse to quote princess bride!

Rhone Mitra + Sarah Carter almost made skinwalkers bearable. almost.

As for Doomsday, I thought it was awesome. Stupid mindless action but just incredibly fun. It's the sort of cult type movie that would be awesome to watch with a group I think as part of some sci fi marathon.

definitely worth grabbing the dvd with some friends.
