Characters keep disappearing and reappearing without explanation and comic moments and moral messages - don't do drugs, genetic tampering is wrong - jar against the action backdrop.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2021

Some of it is good enough to make viewers momentarily forget that all of this is based on a video game series.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 29, 2020

Doom somehow takes a game about demons from Hell invading a military base on Mars and turns it into a boring and cliché-ridden film technically devoid of demons entirely...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2020

[Doom's] relatively entertaining in a lunkheaded, overly explanatory sort of way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 3, 2020

The Rock's ungainly performance is somewhat alleviated by Karl Urban as a crew member and Rosamund Pike as his twin sister, a doctor on the project.

Movies inspired by computer games always seem to be more about merchandising than art and this big-screen adaptation of the ground-breaking shoot-'em-up does little to dispel that view.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 30, 2019

The unnecessarily embellished storyline and dreadful acting unfortunately trump any notion of Doom being a classic film.

| Jun 28, 2018

Just feels like The Rock marking time and paying more dues until the more interesting and challenging offers come his way.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 25, 2012

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 26, 2011

The long, long in development film adaptation of the classic video game shooter, Doom is a decent enough action film as long as you don't expect too much out of it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 18, 2011

Just your basic Aliens rip-off with the name of a formerly popular video game franchise tacked on it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2010

A bland lifeless piece of science fiction fodder that really doesn't pay homage to the game.

| Apr 29, 2009

Roger Ebert put it best, "Doom is like some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play."

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 19, 2009

A nifty piece of low-ambition entertainment that knows exactly what it is, and delivers fairly well on its promises.

| Feb 12, 2009

If gaming is about playing, why would a gamer want to watch movies like this?

| Aug 16, 2007

There's no rule that videogame movies have to be idiotic. And there's no rule that action-horror flicks need be dumb.

| Original Score: D | Jul 30, 2007

The filmmakers produced a mindless action movie that isn't mindless enough.

| Mar 1, 2007

Doom is irritating enough to make you blow off some steam by spending a couple hours gunning down demons.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Oct 11, 2006

This actually isn't as bad as it could have been. That's not high praise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

What might have made for exciting action scenes tend to become mechanical exercises in first-person-shooter monster-blasting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006
