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.

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

| Aug 16, 2007

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

I kept expecting the "Game Over" message to flash up, but it never did.

This is fun, but not as much fun as just playing Doom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 7, 2006

Charmless and brainless.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2005

... a guilty pleasure.

[A] dark, violent, nerve-wracking, trigger-giddy waste of time.

... shows less human dimension than the new Wallace and Gromit movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 29, 2005

Doom plays like a third-generation knock-off.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Oct 29, 2005

For the rest of us, let me suggest we do what I suggested earlier, and that's return home, turn on our computer and boot up the game. We'll certainly have more fun than those paying full price to see this will.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 29, 2005

So niche-marketed to gamers that it might as well not be considered a film at all: It's a marketing tie-in, albeit one with some exceptional production values.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 29, 2005

Yes, Doom is a bad movie but you already knew that.

| Oct 27, 2005

The performances are awful, the action sequences are impossible to follow, the violence is gratuitous, the lighting is bad and I have my doubts that catering truck was even up to snuff on this project.

Videogame geeks and LAN-party enthusiasts everywhere, prepare to meet your Doom -- because it's really not all that bad.

| Oct 21, 2005

This movie proves that the best place to enjoy a video game is in your living room with a cordless precision controller iron-gripped in your sweaty hands.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 21, 2005

There's never a dull moment in this surprisingly clever imagining of one of the most popular video games of all time, especially considering that the murderous mayhem and extreme bloodletting that are its hallmarks remain intact.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 21, 2005

It takes someone who has actually played the game to explain what a colossally bad idea the Doom movie -- and most films that use video games as source material -- was from the start.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 21, 2005

Another sorry chapter in Hollywood's infatuation with video games, Doom is basically a deadly dull rehash of Resident Evil, which in turn was a third-generation clone of Aliens.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 21, 2005

Not only do we rarely get to participate in the fun -- fun being the chance to watch demon guts splattered across the walls -- but there's barely any to be found.
