| Surprised this wasn't posted on here yet: You know you done fucked up when you make the 2005 Doom movie look good. |
| I'm one of the few weird people who actually enjoyed the original 2005 film. Sure it was cheese supreme, but the cast was fairly memorable (especially The Rock) and the suspense was legit. I love watching the reruns of it on local TV. This one honestly looks like a direct-to-video production. No one asked for a new Doom film lmao. |

| Why does this look like a fan project? |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |

As a stand-alone popcorn flick, it's great. IMO it's easier to watch if you don't try to draw any correlation between it and the source material.

| Please no... One was more than enough Doomguy needs to RIP AND TEAR the Hollywood executives that come up with this crap  |

It was a dumb film for sure, but good ol' dumb fun. And I thought it somewhat touched the source material by having a metal soundtrack and appropriate setting. Sucks there was no Doomguy, but the UAC marines were pretty entertaining in their own right (although The Rock did sorta feel like a homage to Doomguy). The final FPS portion of the film was a total baller. NTAD said: It is. Just checked online and wow you're right. I always thought Universal only did big screen productions lol. |

Skittles said: After finding out it was being done by the same guy who did Death Race 2 and 3 which were also direct-to-video one could only hope that this was heading straight for the Wally World bargain bin. I can't imagine the budget on this being that big but I also can't help but think they're not going to get any reasonable return on this investment. I've never even heard of this division of Universal before (1440 Entertainment) but looking at their repertoire, it seems they specialize in B movies. Read that as "unnecessary sequels".NTAD said: It is. Just checked online and wow you're right. I always thought Universal only did big screen productions lol. |

I've never even heard of this division of Universal before (1440 Entertainment) but looking at their repertoire, it seems they specialize in B movies. Kinda funny you mentioned Death Race because that's another one of those big dumb films that I highly enjoyed. Like with Doom, I've seen its reruns numerous times on TV. I do enjoy Death Race more than Doom because the former actually has legit cinematography. But the two sequels? I dropped them both halfway. They weren't even "so bad it's good"; they were absolutely cringeworthy. I'm the farthest thing from a film critic, but the sequels had such low production values that it was even obvious to me they were terrible films. More than that, each Frankenstein after Jason Statham was a mistake lmao. I've also never heard of that division either, but I'm guessing they function like The Aslyum, which is the production house responsible for making low budget Syfy films like Sharknado. We shouldn't underestimate the investment decisions of these studios though because the budgets of their films are so cheap that high returns aren't necessary for them to make a profit. The Asylum has produced a good number of films and none of them have ever been losses. |
