Doom Movie Trailer Released
Lisandro writes "IGN is hosting, as an exclusive, the teaser trailer for the upcoming Doom movie. The trailer can be downloaded at low resolution for free, or high resolution for paying members. They also have a nice gallery of movie stills and related pictures."
I never envisioned The Rock playing Sarge. It's an interesting move and I'd certainly like to see how it plays out. I can see it from a few angles but not from other. After reading the book series, one gets a little more insight into the characters (though admittedly not much) ;)

I was able to watch it high-res for free here: http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/490/490104/vi ds_1.html
I tried hitting IDDQD during the trailer so I could make the movie not suck, but it didn't work. Sorry guys.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
but where is Uwe Boll?
Oh well as long as they dont say the interdemensional portal was opened as the result of a TCP/IP stack overflow it cant be that bad.
There is truth in humor.
The Rock is awesome. He mixes exactly the right amounts of camp and talent to make the best... "special" movies - the kind you sit down to enjoy with friends and an excessively large bucket of popcorn. Awww yeah. Movies that take themselves too seriously are boring.

The teaser trailer seems to say that the discovery the of last 10 percent of the human genome is what makes the creatures into what they are. No mention of hell or portals at all. Hmmf.

Still, it doesn't look half bad.
The site seems broken, but this link worked for me: http://streamingmovies.ign.com/filmforce/article/
This one's going to be another lousy movie. Vin Diesel's only good when you don't take him seriously.
The only thing that'd save the movie now is if they used the theme from e1m1 from the original game.

This looks like it may turn out to be a half decent sci-fi thriller movie. I'm almost giddy to see how well it turns out.
Behold, another webcomic!
I didn't see the trailer, but I checked the stills. Is this an appropriate time to start taking bets on the black guy's lifespan in nanoseconds?
Where's the little face and stuff at the bottom of the screen? I need to know how much ammo The Rock has left.
With so many ppl on
Unfortunately, the rest of the trailer looks like an advertisement for most other movies of this genre. I was really hoping the Doom concept would carry over some unique ideas and reasons to watch the movie beyond the popular title, but I don't think this movie is going to be any different. And that's a shame.
For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.
Why would I pay to see the preview of a movie I'll have to pay to see? Or perhaps I'm having a revelation, realizing that movie costs have skyrocketed because they've been showing so many previews before the movie?
We can put men on Mars, but we can't nuke a research facility from orbit?
That's like.... a bummer.
By the way, Rottentomatoes.com is now hosting the same high quality trailer from IGN, without crappy subscriptions.
If I don't see some Hell, I am going to be disappointed. I mean- what is Doom without Hell?
I swear that's what this movie is. Oh man we figured out the human genome now we have to inject us some T-Virus...except ON MARS. Unless this trailer is a giant ruse and figuring out the genome made marines super strong to fight villains when a portal from hell opened. Sadly, I don't think that's the case.
sup
Its going to be an "eh" movie. I mean look at it, just watching the trailer it looks like no one cares about acting in it.
God, at the very least they could of used teleporters for the excuse everything is going to hell. That whole "something in the water" story is getting old.
Our intelligent designer has never created an animal that we couldn't improve by strapping a bomb to it.
I have had all the doom games and plan on getting this one it is a super big hit around work. I think it s crazy whats going on Rockstar Games for GTA4 its a game exercise your right not to buy it but dont take my or my familys right to purchase material that we may find funny or amusing like Doom or GTA series. Anyways back on topic I would like to see the trailer but really cant wait for the game to come out so I can play it not watch it. Which when my girl finds out I have it I will be watching the game lol. Always fun to read what other people havee to say and hope you enjoyed this little tid bit about dooms trailer WHICH WILL ROCK HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
2. Why the hell wasn't this article considered FRONT PAGE MATERIAL?
Im more itnerested in seeing the movie for Karl Urban. a much more interestign actor, imo. he played Eomer in the Lord of the Rings movies, and the russian assassin in The Bourne Supremacy. I kinda like The Rock too, though. he does a great job of overacting while keeping it fun. Howerver, i thought the teaser made it look a lot like the Resident Evil movie... which isnt a great thing, in my book...
My hand touched her hand. Her hand touched her boob. By the transitive property, I got some boob! Algebra is awesome!
I can't wait to see these hacks butcher the Quake 2 movie.
Seriously, how do you fuck up Doom? A marine on Mars shoots demons. That is not a lot of plot to shred, but they somehow managed. This looks more like the bastard stepchild of Resident Evil and Alien 4.
At least those two stinkers had hot chicks instead of The Rock.
Vin was also in Saving Private Ryan. They guy trying to help the little girl and who the sniper used for bait IIRC. Like Dwayne, some of there roles are dumb, but the more I see these guys being interviewed and learn of their business dealings the more I realize that they are far smarter than some of the characters they play.
Everybody's mentioned the flashlights. How about the fact that they have more than one character on the screen without the framerate dropping to 3fps?! Amazing!

You guys realise that there was OTHER research going on at mars, right? For all we know the whole 'final 10% of the human genome' is what they THINK may have caused the problem when it was really part of some secret teleportation experiments that only the scientists with higher clearance knew about(if I remember clearly ONLY the people with higher clearance in Doom 3 knew about the experiments with teleportation).
It could make sense all this human genome stuff in the trailer, Can't remember the quote exactly, or where it came from, but it goes along the lines of "The door to hell can be found in the human soul"
Therefore it could be they unlock hell by delving too deeply into the genome. Far-fetched I'll admit, but it is supposed to be fiction right?
Things that we already know that may make this movie not suck:
1. No hell.
2. No Doom Space Marine armor.
3. The guy was supposed to be the last person alive.
What we don't know that may make this movie not suck:
1. The virus came from hell.
2. The Rock weilds a chainsaw, double barrel shotgun, and the BFG all before the end of the movie.
3. The Rock is last person alive, dons on the Doom Space Marine armor, and takes the super stim pack and starts a World Wrestling Federation type of scene with the end demon and punches it's head off after body slamming it and then doing a double suflex off the top rope while playing the E1M1 sound track with real guitar riffs and at the closing scene goes back to earth and the rabbits head is on a pike while the cities are smoldering.
But one can only hope...

The only real thing that would make this movie watchable is if the rock ruined some zombies sh*t with a chanisaw, and even then it still might suck.
ummm. Am I going to be the only one who comments on the fact that we live in the post-genomic age.
As in, They allready finished decoding the human genome!
A YEAR AGO!

I was hoping they had seen the error of their ways. Seriously, the marines even LOOK LIKE the guys from RE1 the movie. They have the same black outfits and usual "Rifles with flashlights" they always have. Human genome? I want to see cyberdemons dammit.
Where's the chainsaws? Where's the Pulse Rifle? Where's the BFGS!?!
I swear if there's no imps and pinky in there...
