Vin Diesel is good for Pitch Black and Riddick, but I can't really see him playing Doom's characters for some reason.

An aside -- I saw an animated flick a couple weeks ago. It was the Riddick story, but the events took place between Picth Black and Riddick. I was blown away - the animation was awesome, and the scenes and action were fun as hell to watch. It was done by the artist who drew the Aeon Flux cartoons for Liquid Television years ago. If you like the movies, you should definitely check it out.


I loved Pitch Black. Riddick was cool, but not as good. You know the name of that animation story you saw? That guy also directed Matriculated in the Animatrix BTW =)

The animation is called "dark Fury". Still have yet to watch it, its dropped to £5 so i may buy it now.

As For the problem with the movie, its just that the enemies sem to different. They are all slimey and shit, have skin dropping off them. The hell knight looked like he just got out the bath, and had zero scale relating to the game hellknight. He looked about 5 foot tall, not a 8/9 foot monster with huge upper body.

I.E. Its obvious they ARE guys in suits :(

For once, I DO think they should of gone with CGI. It would of been more true to the game.

Indeed. I thought it might be a good mindless action movie, but it even falls short in that category.


That's disappointing too, after seeing the animated flick. Maybe I'll rent it anyway just to appease my curiosity.

Anybody notice that there was water in the movie, but not in the game...?

Shame. Water would of rocked in the game. Nice reflective water with zombies rising from it and all sorts...

EDIT: Love the way we see all the people die in this trailer... Wow, lots to happen thats fresh in the film now. SPOILER FUCKING WARNING.

Ahh... I see now...

http://www.doommovie.com/

Read the story.

They are not infected people, the zombies are. The monsters are from "somewhere else" and the marines get to Mars via a portal from earth, which they had to shut off. Which means the grass part may be on earth.

This is the pinky BTW:

Is he not from Band of Brothers?

edit:
apparantly, he is. Dexter Fletcher is his name. John Martin is his name in the series.

Dexter also used to host Gamesmaster on Channel 4 during the early 90s when it was set in an off shore prison colony.

It's just that the (trailer) fucking reeked of crappy-popcorn munching summer flick with all the fucking people looking like they are constipated and trying to act badass with their snappy haircuts and their one liners 'y0 y0 let's kick ass'. Typical movie based on some fantasy shit. The trailer looked almost as bad as aliens vs. predator

That fact is the only real glimmer of hope I have left for this movie. If the movie would be shit, then id wouldn't be backing it would they?

And I think the trailer is shit because it doesn't show anything and doesn't give a good idea about what we should expect from this movie. It doesn't build a feeling of tension and terror, which I do expect from this movie.
It doesn't show a big firefight or people being ripped to shreds, which I would expect from the Doom franchise.
It only shows people running around screaming, nothing more. That's not really a good way to sell your movie.


It's about the monah at this point, id could give two fucks if it is a good movie or not.

Wasn't there a hell knight in one of those shots... it was all small and shit and one of the marines punched it rofl. Doom should be about blasting that huge fucking walking tank from a distance with a shotgun, not having a tea party. (Yeah you can have berserk and punch in Doom, but imo that would come off somewhat cheesy in a movie =D).

Ok, some thigns confuse me... For one the imps look great. Take a look at my pics, most of the time they look good, but other times they look shit. I dont thnk that end shot with the eyes is an imp anymore, maybe a trite :shrug:

Also the hellknight looks shit, but when Sarge fires the BFG (Which is blue, WTF?) at him, he seems huge...?

Here are some snaps. If anybody has a link to the high res trailer in quicktime i would be thanking j00:

What would of made Doom better is if they looked the same... I.e. the marines had the same armor at least...

I think it looked OK. Are you expecting shakespeare or something? It's movie based on computer game with absolutely no fucking story whatsoever.

IMO it could've been a lot better off if they based it off the novels. Not completely the same as them, just base it off them. Could definitely make it better... I'd watch it anyway. Much better than "hmm? what's that? You smell a zombie? Does he smell what The Rock is cooking?"

They could at least make it eye candy though. That trailer looks like it was filmed in an office park in Milton Keynes over a bank holiday. It's impossible to look at the monsters without thinking "guy in a suit"

"You are huge, that means you have huge guts....."

watched the 'panel' vid after the trailer

Got the impression they were all working hard at persuading the fanbase it won't suck: Really, we were faithfull to the game, the monsters are there, the set is right outta the game, it's got a BFG, it won't suck honest, pleeeese believe us. Which gave me the impression that, well...it must suck then as they all seem so worried.

The rock guy said 'it kicks ass' too many times, didn't that saying die out in the 80's?

They looked pretty scared up on that platform, I guess they were at 'nerd central' and had to appease the game fans, tough job and both Rock + Karl kept glancing over to Todd for moral support when struggling for monster names etc.

The trailer itself was the usual, well edited action film product but couldn't help wondering whether I'd just seen the ONLY good bits. It had extremely annoying quotes which have absolutly been done to death already like:

'Listen up men'
'Gametime'
'We're going in hot'

Personally I feel it's an Aliens remake but using the Doom franchise to avoid litigation

I will watch it anyway because I am a fan of the original, which the movie makers know already and therein lies the problem - knowing you have already secured an audience, why bother trying so hard to make it good.

Personally I would rather go see a 90 minute run through of Doom 1 2 or 3 on the big screen - a bit like the 'Quake-dun-quick' vids, but 'taking their sweet time marine'
