    The coolest part of that trailer was the end with the huge Doom logo, since it, let's face it, kicks ass.

    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.

    I've been told The Rock was hillarious in "Be cool" by several friends of mine, though i haven't seen that movie yet. Still, he has a star for action movies, with the right mixture of charisma and ass-kicking - like you said, he was great in "Walking tall" and "The rundown"

        PS: Vin Diesel was excellent on "Knockarround guys", one of his very few movies i can stand watching.

    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.

  5. Another anti-science movie by Wylfing · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Gah, what is with this. Instead of using the plain old horror story plot where a doorway to Hell gets opened up (i.e., although this is a run-of-the-mill horror plot it's still perfectly good stuff), it looks like they've turned this into yet another anti-science movie. Oh noes! Our creations are turning against us! Fear science! Fear progress!

    No mention of hell or portals at all.

    That can't be right! They said "every effort was being made to make the movie faithful to the game"! Surely they weren't being dishonest?

    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.
