The Rock?

[Slant675]

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) ;)

Re:The Rock?

[swerk]

Didn't even notice that... But I did notice that they have FLASHLIGHTS attached to their FRIGGIN' GUNS...!

Re:The Rock?

[Slant675]

Yeah, but that's only because they were unable to get sharks with laser beams attached to their heads... they settled for flashlights.

[Premo_Maggot]

Duh, they're using Duct Tape Mod.

Only for paying members?

[Hikaru79]

I was able to watch it high-res for free here: http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/490/490104/vi ds_1.html

[stevey]

Or the 30Mb trailer direct.

God Mode

[daeley]

I tried hitting IDDQD during the trailer so I could make the movie not suck, but it didn't work. Sorry guys.

Thats nice

[hobotron]

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.

No portals?

[Jarlsberg]

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/6 36/636398/doom_trailer_072505_wmvlowwide.wmv

Yep, those people in the future will find the last 10 percent. Yep. Future men. On Mars.

Are all the people involved with this movie morons?

Re:No portals?

[Linus Torvaalds]

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?

HEY!

[sithsasquatch]

Where's the little face and stuff at the bottom of the screen? I need to know how much ammo The Rock has left.

Re:Vin Diesel ...

[AutopsyReport]

Vin Diesel's only good when he dresses up like The Rock.

Well

[AutopsyReport]

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.

The Future

[wishus]

We can put men on Mars, but we can't nuke a research facility from orbit?

That's like.... a bummer.

Re:The Future

[Phleg]

Who needs nukes? Everyone gets this wrong. Everyone except Heinlein, that is. The real tactic is to drop rocks. Large rocks with sufficient momentum to obliterate anything within a ten-mile radius of the impact point.

Re:The Future

[PhilHibbs]

Rocks are a bit big, and you typically have to drag them in from way over there. Nukes are nice and small for a given yield, thus cheaper to lug around. I guess there might be circumstances in which rocks make sense, such as when you've got plenty of time to prepare and have a good solar system transport infrastructure.

Re:bullcrap!

[snorklewacker]

I'm very disappointed. I saw guys with flashlights on their weapons. I mean if "I" can't get guns with flashlights taped to the barrel why the hell should they???

Because Vin Diesel already did Pitch Black.

Re:The Rock

[Lisandro]

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.

Re:Hell?

[Glytch]

Answer: Resident Evil.

Er..humm

[WarlockD]

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.

Another anti-science movie

[Wylfing]

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!

Re:Hell?

[Anonymous Coward]

...on Mars.

Ah Hollywood!

[Redline]

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.

So..

[lowmagnet]

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!

Problems

[vertinox]

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...
