Doom: Annihilation

Doom Annihilation is a "basic with a B grade" horror sci fi.

Low budget, basic effects and lean on the story front. In other words this is a no frills flick that has limited appeal. It might be alright for a very slow rainy day but personally, I can think of a long list of things that would come well ahead of watching this again.

The acting is ok but again nothing and no one really stands out. 4/10.

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

Having just seen this, I can't agree with the majority of negative votes. Granted, it is a low-budget movie with no star power and a we-have-seen-this-1000-times-before script. But with the limited resources they had, it is an enjoyable sci-fi action flick. IMHO the actors played their parts convincingly and the action was okay. The only really bad thing about this were the CGI shots of the portals... that looked like from a 90s computer game. If you have some time to spare, give this a shot. There are far worse movies out there.

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 thought I'd switch off after 30 minutes because of the reviews here. Also because of star rating 3.5. But the movie is better than expected.
