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 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 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
Vin Diesel's only good when he dresses up like The Rock.
For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.
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'm one of those people who likes watching movies with Dwayne Johnson in the, too. I hate professional wrestling, but The Rock really does bring just the right amount of acting (and honestly, he isn't terrible - maybe he just needs a film to let him actually act in it instead of what they've been giving him). He was great in Standing Tall and the movie about the girl who ran away to the jungle that he had to go after. Scorpion King was okay, but not great.
I'd really like to see him do a movie that's more than just action. Back in the days of Boiler Room, I said I wanted to see Vin Diesel do some action flicks (big mistake). But I think Dwayne Johnson actually could be good in both action and serious roles. Maybe even comedy.
I'll even excuse the fact that every female I know says they want to pour chocolate sauce all over his chest and lick it off.... Ick.
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.
Honestly, his campy over the top style of acting might be well suited for stage rather than screen. On stage the movements and emotions have to be exaggerated quite a bit so the audience can really feel it from a distance. Hmm... or maybe it's just that pro-wrestling basically is a stage play. Usually and old school good vs evil morality play at that. Just with more body slams.

By the way, Rottentomatoes.com is now hosting the same high quality trailer from IGN, without crappy subscriptions.
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.
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.

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
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!
Heute die Welt, morgen das Sonnensystem!
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...
"I am the king of the Romans, and am superior to rules of grammar!"
-Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor (1368-1437)
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.
BTW... It's Walking Tall, not Standing Tall... And The Rundown was about him chasing a guy, not a girl.
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
I confess, I don't remember anything about The Rundown except Rosario Dawson.
Mmmmm.....
