Doom Movie

Jul 29, 2005 07:09

So there's a trailer out for the upcoming doom movie. Get this though, it's not demons from hell, it's demons from some sort of genetic experiment/research. Sorry guys but that makes it not-doom. Also, there have already been one movie, oh, wait, and two movies using that plot.

Did you like those two movies? I've never seen them and i don't think I'm going to unless someone can convince me otherwise. And Doom should have stayed just a DOS-loading game. On some like 15 or so floppies (wee). Should never have even gone to CD or a console. Blah. Why can't people just see what's good and stick with it?

People ruin everything. Yea. Hi.

The second was a decent "brainless action" movie.

The first I actually enjoyed uniquely, in that I think it would be awesome if playing a video game could be like watching that movie. I'm not quite sure how to explain, but imagine instead of watching a movie, you're playing a game and making decisions, interacting, yadda yadda. As a movie it's prolly so-so.

Problem with Doom 3 is that they needed to release 2 games. One was the Doom 3 they did release. What they should have done is simultaneously re-released Doom / Doom II, with the gameplay left untouched, only with modern-level textures, models and lighting. That way people wouldn't complain that Doom 3 isn't Doom-like-enough, because they could have their nostalgia fix, and then enjoy Doom 3 for the different sort of FPS they have there.

But yeah. Hey.

The resident evil movies were not good in the scale of this, if you ever played a resident evil game those movies are like sitting for two hours getting slapped in the face with a flacid chicken.

Doom's movie plot has been molested, but it originally it was going to take place on Earth so setting it on Mars is as close to the original plot of the base on Mars' moons. Still the genome thing rather then demons is bad.

Could very well be true, I never played the res evil games.

I actually saw an updated doom trailer recently and it supposedly is now people transforming because of going through a "wormhole" or somesuch. I still don't get their aversion to the old classic "it's hell we're fighting" theme. They get bonus points for guts and/or humor for actually having part of the movie be in first-person though. heh
