I know it's going to suck but the LAN I'm going to this weekend is paying for anyone who wants to see it, so I figured I might as well go.

But is that good for a movie, or good for a video game movie

I saw Serenity last night, and the trailer reel had two trailers for Doom. I have no desire to see that movie.

I'm going to see it. Even if it turns out like utter crap and everyone says not to, I'm too big a Doom fan to miss it

I saw the poster, I need to see the movie.

Let me explain. The poster is of some explosiony effects, and some monster emerging from them. And all you see of any person is his hands holding the gun. Total FPS perspective. That tells me that somehow they understood what they were making. They weren't making a major space-opera drama to rival the Trilogy or Lord of the Rings. No, they were making 90+ minutes of video game shlock, rife with references and nods to the fans.
Much like the game Doom wasn't really about horror, but about blasting anything that moved.

I will probrobly see it, but my one reserve is the rock, he can't act....which worries me....

Of course The Rock can act. He's been playing The Rock for years.

that's what I thought until I saw The Rundown. Anyhow, Doom looks cool.

the Doom story seems like an ideal popcorn flick.

Is that Ryan Seacrest on the left?!

Karl Urban (LOTR, Bourne Supremacy)

I'm going to see it this weekend. I hope it won't suck too bad. I'm setting my expectations pretty low so as not to be disappointed.

i wonder when it launches here in europe, havent seen any posters/trailers what so ever, didnt even know it was out yet

seems like a perfect movie to just go see on a friday night after a long week of staring at C++ code, hope it launches soon..

I saw a trailer for it a few weeks ago in a UK cinema.

So according to IGN its a great movie as long as you ignore the lack of plot.

Thats like calling a videogame good as long as you ignore the lack of gameplay.

wrong analogy imho, if doom the movie lacks a plot, its true to doom3, and all doom games for that matter, spectacular action and no story to slow the action down

im getting quite curious, but i think ill hold out till it hits the theater before i DL it

That sounds like "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". Lots of good action, just didn't know wtf was going on with the storyline.

I'll probably be going to see Doom though. I haven't played Doom 3, but I was a huge Doom 1/2 fan back in the day.
