“DOOM: Annihilation” - 2019, teaser trailer #1

Plot twist, the team die in the first 15 minutes of the movie leading to the introduction of the Doom Guy. That would be the only way to save this movie.
 
I'll watch this as a free rental from Redbox or download it, then have a few drinks. It won't be good, but the booze'll help wash down the film.

I honestly take no issue with Doom ""Guy" being a girl, if they maybe went with like a Ronda Rousey or at the very least a female who looks capable of opening a jar of pickles without needing my assistance.
If everything else about the movie didn't look like hot vomit I'd even get past that perhaps.

Wait a second, that's the Doomguy? I don't think it's misogynistic to be disappointed with another shitty doom movie.

Honest question:
Why didn't named the Protagonist Crash?

Sure, we don't have DoomGuy or Phobos [I think], but for marketing point would make the fans happier.

I am guessing because she never appeared in any of Doom games, iirc. She was in Quake III Arena and Quake Live only.

I got some bad news to you: you are a GAMER and therefore the worst people on the planet and a misogynistic prick just because you are somewhat disappointed with the upcoming movie. /s

The tweet doesn't lie [what she said].

"Its not a game anymore."

Holy shit im back in 1995.

Or 2005, when Doom was originally turned into a movie and it wasn't just a game anymore.

Or maybe 1996, when Doom was turned into a comic, and also wasn't just a game any more.

DOOM actually got worse the further in you got. The ending was awful, although the FPS segment was pretty damn cool, but also cheapened the film imo.

"The Rock is the badguy because he understands the concept of quarantine!" Um, no. Karl Urban was the badguy for exposing Earth to a pathogen he didn't understand when his sister pulled a nonsense explanation out of her ass.

As a whole I liked the original Doom movie, but the ending really was garbage.

Let's put it this way though imagine if they made a Tomb Raider game and had a male actor and they called them "Laurence Croft".
Imagine the outrage.

One more thing. Be careful with this one, this movie is absolute destined to be absolute shit and they know it but I have a feeling this won't be the last time we hear this stuff being brought up.
It's like free marketing for a film that clearly had a low budget. I'm fairly sure she'll be taking a few more photos to antagonize the fans before we're done and other stuff.

Your movie based on a video game looking to be shit but you want it to get attention? Just start controversy on purpose.
 
Saw it. Really cheap scenery. Bad actors playing boring characters. Almost no atmosphere. Heartless fanservice thrown in every minute. First monsters are appearing after 40 minutes and they suck, the action is uninteresting, there's no tension and the gore/splatter is bad. No good effects all around. The first one still sucks, but was a lot better than this cheap trash.
 
I saw it yesterday, its an odd film, they put a lot of doom references like dr john carmack, its weird cause it feels like another stab at the old rock movie hell they even have similar armor, but the film is all over the place and the demons are blue zombies attacking them for like 10 mins straight there are a few other demons including imps I would assume and a few big ones they seem to have created themselves. pretty sure they reuse some syfy set pieces too from like dark matter tv show lmao.

the rock movie looks like a diamond compared to this.
 
I'm 42 minutes in and considering shutting it off. It's really, really bad.

Edit: I ended up finishing it. It got slightly better (I thought the the Hellscape imagery was neat), but it's still a shit movie.
Honestly, the script isn't the worst thing ever (you can tell it was written by someone who actually played the game), but literally everything else about the production screams amateur hour. They should have bumped up the budget and hired a better director.
Instead, we got a movie that is significantly worse than the Karl Urban Doom.

2/10

I loved that Movie! It was trippy, mysterious, and thought provoking! Everything that Doom isn't and Shouldn't been.
It pains me that after this, google searching "Annihilation" will be presenting you with yet another, most likely shitty, video game movie instead of this little gem.

Now I am really interested.
Maybe I will give it a go.
Thank you for mention it.
 
There were only possessed human zombies and Imps in this movie which were lifted from the games. Really weak ass shit. At least the 2005 film had Hell Knights and a Pinky Demon.

No one would have expected that one day they'd be referring to 2005 Doom as "The good Doom Movie"

That's the best thing about Doom Annihilation. People will finally recognize that Doom 2005 was actually quite serviceable, and that it could have turned out so much worse.



Oh and MK Annihilation still holds the crown for worst videogame movie.
