Doom - Die Vernichtung

Makes the rock doom look like a masterpiece.

All copies of this film need collected up and buried at sea in a locked vault..

That's all I need to say. 👍

Good: Lots of attention to the set designs, very Doomy, even though it didn't always look great. Some practical FX were decent. Some external CGI shots of the base and ship were pretty ok. Um... There were two, maybe three, capable actors that did a 'decent' job.

Bad: Literally everything else. This a groan-inducing train wreck of a movie that spits in the face of any Doom fan. The easter eggs were terrible. The lead actress was abysmal. The script and story were Sharknado worthy.

Avoid unless you're looking for a laughable film to heckle with friends

I don't understand why so many are giving this film 1 or 2 stars. What in the hell were you expecting? I think reviewers are being too hard on this one. This is a low-budget schlock sci-fi horror B-film. If you enjoy B-film horror and creature features you will enjoy this. Is it good? No, but it's fun.

I have been a long time fan of Doom since it was a free share game on the net back in the early 1990s, and the ironic thing is, this contrasted at some points heavily compared to the movie, but in a good way. Whereas the film had more CGI that was high quality, better known actors and something of a script that resembled a film, it still was not as good as it could have been, actually deviating from the story of the game. HOWEVER, this newest take on the franchise actually stayed much truer to the very games themselves, allowing people to see the maze like corridors and sub sections that the players would normally have gone through in the classic installments of the Doom franchise. Though not the best idea to have a very slender young woman as the main character, she was still enjoyable to watch for the most part, and the movie progressed in a really cool way by the end that was much more satisfying than the film was. That being said, the film wasa teensy bit more badarse with all its flare. Nonetheless, I like Doom annihilation. 5.5/10

I think we all knew this was going to proper bad - low budget, cheap actors, mediocre director & no involvement from the authors of the original concept and all the games. Bad it was.

The very start states quickly what kind of thing will follow, the first shot is full of grade b cgi and even the opening titles were zero-budget style. We get introduced to a bunch of painfully clicheic characters (carried out by stiff acting) and plotline, surrounded by plasticky looking props and sets, effortless cinematography, boring color grading and so on and so forth. The special FX is mix of cheap cgi and practical fx that don't impress much. References to the contents of the games are there, a few, but to no satisfaction. So it continues for 90 minutes, from time to time entertaining us with emotionless and uninspiring action sequences. Oh, and the original score can be described the same way. There is some amount of much needed gore, but not creative enough or just simply not enough of it to compensate for anything. As the movie passes by, You find yourself predicting events and not caring for any of the characters - most you're going to feel is cringe or anger, if you're a "Doom" game franchise fan. You're also going to be very bored.

I loved "Doom 3", have played it through for three times & if there's anything good "Doom: Annihilation" did is inspiring me to play one of the games again. I'm recommending a hard pass on this absolutely lame and disappointing game adaptation. My rating: 2/10.
