DOOM
November 06, 2005 ( life )
So, I failed to lure even the most die-hard geeks from my program to go see DOOM for fun. So, I downloaded a cam of it and watched it last night. It wasn't as horrible as I thought. It was still a pretty bad movie, throwing out very, very predictable plot "twists" and some horrible one-liners. But, to give 'em credit, they didn't over-use the first-person perspective, and they did take on a Demon-Dog with a chainsaw.
I do like the idea that the human genome has an evil bit.
I wish they'd kept closer to the DOOM story line (man, that's hard to say!) and gone with the whole hell-unleashed-through-the-teleportation-devices; it allows for more cool CGI critters, and you can ditch the whole Mars-evolution craziness.
It is definitely a Carib movie -- that is to say, it almost makes me want to fly down to Jamaica and go to the 2-for-Tuesday special at the Carib 5 theatre downtown to see it, it'd be a riot. Maybe literally...
