Doom: Annihilation

An awful film in every respect, with lousy actors, ugly visual effects and laughable make-up. Also, woefully cheap action and production design. There's nothing to praise here. This film was only made because they hoped someone would watch it up because of the famous brand. Don't do it. (09.10.2019)

It may not be groundbreaking, but unlike the more expensive and more famous cast of the previous film, this time at least I had the feeling that the filmmakers knew what they were doing and what the audience wanted to see from something called Doom. That said, I was disappointed by the ending in the style of "Well, now they've run out of money, that's it". (04.09.2022)

I have quite a few issues with this film, but one almost keeps me awake at night... why the main role is played by a female character. The name DoomGUY should suggest that this role should go to a massive hunk of muscle, not someone whose weight barely reaches 130 lbs. It's absolutely incomprehensible to me. Besides that, it's a tangled mess of logical holes that you don't often see. Still, it does offer some watchable action in a few sequences (though keep in mind this is within the realm of low-budget C to D-grade productions), which culminates in a reasonably satisfying finale (it’s a shame that due to a poor budget, we only got this segment set in hell). I’d rather not comment on the actors, as their performances left me with a rather shocking impression. On the other hand, I did get a hearty laugh out of the sheer badness in this regard, so at least there's that. Compared to this, the 2005 Doom film seems like it was made by Oscar winners. A sad fact. I’m giving it 25%. (05.10.2019)
