	Doom DVD Review - MovieWeb
		Doom kept my attention and the plot seemed cohesive enough to engage its audience, especially by drawing in the first person perspective coined by the game it was based on.
		This film was based off of something incredible and you at least owe it to yourself to check it out, especially if you are even remotely curious about the game or you just like big guns and watching monsters splatter.
		Even if you are a gamer disappointed about minor details, see the film and experience the hard work taken in the approach of creating a film, which may not be better than the game depending on your personal opinion, but definitely can holds itâs own.

	Hollywood Gothique: Doom (2005) Film Review
		Perhaps DOOM is one of those movies that is only good enough to support a single viewing; perhaps the visceral impact is diminished by viewing it on a small screen; or perhaps the addition of several minutes to the running time slowed down the pace.
		The new footage is mostly bits and pieces strewn throught the film that add up to little: a few more mutants are blown away, and we get brief flashes of nudity of the female doctor whose arm was severed by the elevator in the opening scene -- before she, too, is blown away.
		"Doom Nation" provides a peak at the Doom videogame phenomenon, examining the impact and significance of the original game, which was unapologetic in its portrayal of gory horror, and its follow-up Doom 3, which advanced the graphic imagery to the point where the game resembled a cool computer-generated movie.

	Film Review: Doom
		Although this film is set in the year 2046, anyone expecting a Wong Kar-wai retro-futurist meditation on time, memory and melancholy is bound to be disappointed (and not a little confused).
		Andrzej Barthowiak's Doom has all (which is to say none) of the subtlety of the absurdly addictive demon-slaying computer game, upon which it is based.
		Doom the game had no characters to speak of and a plot reduced to the most basic of don't-stop-shooting dynamics, which is all very cathartic when you are the one controlling the trigger, but deadly dull for anyone else.

	Doom (2005): Reviews
		Doom, the landmark videogame that electrified a generation, leaps from the computer screen to the big screen as a terrifying sci-fi horror action adventure, transporting audiences to a dark and disturbing future with all the visceral excitement and horror that made its gaming predecessor a global phenomenon.
		Doom may be by the numbers, with a roll call of colorful types systematically exterminated while The Rock entertains with cartoonish expressions and reactions (the closest the film comes to personality).
		Doom, the film, aspires to be more than just a gory shoot em' up--though it'd still be a stretch to call it a thinking man's action movie.

	Doom Movie Update - MegaGames pc
		But it should be mentioned that it was never the goal of anyone involved in this film, from myself and the producers to the studio to the guys at id, to make a direct film adaptation of the game(s).
		I've found it frustrating that I somehow became the goat for the perceived shortcomings of the film, because (and I say this with no humility whatsoever, because I'm not a humble person), that I am, without a doubt, the greatest ally the Doom fan has had during the entire process of the film being made.
		No film adaptation can ever match the expectations of the original fans, and the Doom movie will be no different.

	Doom Film Review - Time Out Film
		‘Doom’ revolutionised the videogame industry when it was released in 1993, combining innovative first-person shoot-em-up gameplay with moments of genuine tension and horror.
		Unfortunately, ‘Doom’ the movie is little more than a derivative action pic that apes the likes of ‘Aliens’ and ‘Predator’ in forgettable and reductive fashion.
		As the film progresses, the guns get bigger and the deaths gorier, but director Andrzej Bartkowiak fails to crank up the suspense with anything like the same kind of intensity.

		While the many slow-motion shots of the protagonist clutching his mother are overused to the point of contrivance, the relentless volley between pastoral scenes of village life and shattering moments of violence captures the harrowing reality of war for those caught in the crossfire.
		But it's still got to be the most beautifully filmed animal story of the year, in one of the landscapes most endangered by rapacious humanity: gorgeous mile after mile of frozen earth, with pastel skyscapes, brutal storms, and line after line of amazing, tuxedoed birds, devotedly marching in formation.
		The film's social conscience and persecuted-artist theme – focused on the "quality of life" statute's draconian antigraffiti penalties – lumpily cohere with the acting-exercise feel of the dramatic bits, which ramp up to an implausibly overwrought climax.

	IGN: Doom Review
		The reason for the film's modest success is that for the most part it honors its source material.
		In fact, the transport to and from Earth to Mars becomes a central plot point throughout the film, and the effects involved in the transport are easily the best in the movie.
		The film has more than one jump moment, and a bushel of gross-out effects, and much of this can be attributed to the nastiness of these ungodly creations.

	UGO.com FILM & TV - DOOM: The MOVIE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		DOOM is one of those movies that has been in what's called "development hell." Development Hell is a lot like the regular Hell, except the demons are all wearing expensive suits and can't make a decision about anything to save their afterlives.
		It's difficult to keep track of the on-again, off-again status of the DOOM film, but as far as we can tell, it first came to light in 1997 at Universal.
		Then the Columbine tragedy happened, which was quasi-related to the DOOM video game, and the project was scrapped, or rather, doomed to the confines of Development Hell.

		There's also one memorable sequence that actually turns the movie into a first-person shooter; the good news is that in the context of the whole film, it's not quite as goofy as it might have been.
		DOOM's standard plot focuses on the planet Mars, where a genetic experiment gone wrong (do they ever go right?) unleashes some frightening monsters.
		I love the doom cam that we get in the end and I wish somehow that the movie would have played alot more like the computer game (which I love).

	/FILM - Doom
		Doomâs reason for being could be that it shows us why Hollywood is on a downward slope and video games are ascendant.
		This is probably because the creators pushed the technology of the day as far as they could, to make something that they themselves would want to play.
		The special effects donât even nudge the envelope, and you get the feeling that the makers of the film wouldnât even watch it themselves if they didnât have to.

		They hook up with a sexy scientist determined to preserve their research and then get the blasty show on the road, hitting the archeologists' dig site, some labs with floating grossness, and other familiar territory.
		The graphics in Doom are great, which is to be expected.
		But having good graphics these days is like bragging that your movie is in color and so, in the legacy of id, Doom tries to bring something new to film by adding a sequence of first person shooter style action shots.

	Doom + Stay
		Suddenly, and just for that split second, Doom of all things becomes Casualties of War (and, in fact, literalizes that film's tagline of "In war, innocence is the first casualty"), and although what's leading up to the moment isn't that great, I was ready to roll with this totally unexpected, thought-provoking tickle.
		And then it has a lot of walking around in the dark getting scared by things in jars and monkeys in cages before bad, impossible-to-see action breaks out, leading to the semi-gross annihilation of everyone except for the two characters who are supposed to fight each other.
		Doom tries to spice things up with the Stargate from Stargate and the zombies from Resident Evil but does so in vain.

		The film stars WWE wrestling star-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Sarge, and there are a handful of other actors you may recognise from recent films.
		While the film follows the basic plot of the game - an invasion of an off-world military installation, the location is not Mars, Deimos, or Phobos but "Olduvai".
		Sadly, the film is due out in three months, so it would seem the protests have fallen on deaf ears.

	Film Review: Doom
		With only an arched eyebrow and slightly sardonic smirk in his repertoire of expressions, he manages to convey an awareness that this film is dreadful, while slyly encouraging the audience to give in and binge themselves sick on visual junk food.
		Doom steals the best bits from other action/sci-fi/horror films and throws them into the blender with a bucket of blood and some dodgy latex effects to create a hugely entertaining piece of nonsense with no aspirations to be anything more intellectual.
		While it appears to have been written by a 12-year old, Doom might be considered a work of genius in a parallel universe.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Doom Generation, cast interview (1)
		Ostensibly a road film in the ultraviolent mold of True Romance or Natural-Born Killers, The Doom Generation goes against the grain of these studio-manufactured postmodern genre pieces and transcends their ultimately conventional vision of pop-media hipness.
		Both films avoid the clichés of the road movie: there is virtually no traceable topography in his characters' odysseys, and no destination.
		The film is structured around the group's sexual encounters, beginning with the opening scene between Amy Blue and her boyfriend Jordan White in their car at a drive-in theater and culminating in the final three-way coupling that is abruptly preempted in a scene of ferocious violence and surprise.
