Regular posting schedule: phailed...
Okay, so I'm off by one day. It's not my fault! I got down to hang w/my buds yesterday, went and saw Doom. Here follows my official review.
Set Design/Mood: 10
Acting: 6/10
Plot: 5/10
Creature Effects: 9/10
The set design and feel of the movie were near dead-on. The writers/producers/director/set designers obviously spent several hundred hours playing Doom 3. The acting wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't horrible either. The Rock was decent enough, and Karl Urban wasn't bad, but you don't go see a movie like this expecting Royal Shakespeare Company-level performing. The plot: ...eh. I honestly don't see how you could get a story like Doom's(the game) wrong, but they did. No 'demons', just the old standby of 'mutated humans'. Bleh. Creature effects were another strong point, as Stan Winston's boys did a great job. Imp, Pinky, Baron: all on the screen and looking good. Overall: 7.5/10
But, by the time we got back, we were watching our newest compatriot play Indiana Jones & The Emperor's Tomb, then we watched all the Halo cinemas, then it was today and time for bed. And now I have to wait another...hour and fourteen minutes till McDonald's serves lunch. Oh well, at least I'll be hungry.
