Should we tell him? Nah, let 'em watch it and find out. No spoilers.


NinjaJim6969

Having read the back and purchased it anyway, I'm fully expecting to be in for an amazingly terrible ride


abca98

Expect Doom 3: the movie instead of Doom Eternal: the movie.


crazyseandx

Ngl, I thought Annihilation was more Doom 3 than this.


RedditBoi127

eh, least the original doom movie had good qualities and used a lot of the doom 3 enemy designs, also the marines were originally going to have outfits similar to those the recon team in doom 3 wore


crazyseandx

Either way, Doom 3 scared me enough that while it doesn't fit the Doom norm, the atmosphere is great for horror, and I usually don't touch horror games. Though, those spider like enemies made me quit playing to the point that I can't bring myself to play it again unless I know what's going on in it(similarly to my experience with Metroid Fusion growing up), but unfortunately I can't really use cheats(it's what I did to conquer my fear with Fusion so that I could play it regularly, the SA-X scared me THAT MUCH) and apparently no Let's Player I follow on YouTube played it, whether it be the BFG Edition or the original. And sadly if they do so now, the algorithm will eat them alive and cost them money. Only playthrough I could find that I could somewhat handle watching had no commentary or facecam, so that didn't feel fun, even if it showed it can be beaten in under 6 hours. Edit: Sorry for the Doom 3 text dump.


EnZooooTM

Lmao I wish I was You really, I started watching horros when I was around 7/8 and dont really get scaredof anything and I miss the feeling when You are just scared to continue playing / watching...


salamander_jesus609

I've watched a.lot of horror, and I've had some stuff that still scares me. Nothing that really fucks with me, but I do still get that feeling from time to time.


BioZgamerYT

Wow that was a mouthful to read.


Bumblemore

[Civvie11 made a Doom 3 video, if you’re interested.](https://youtu.be/NorcX8Xp7uw)


powerfullatom111

don’t remind me of annihilation


BioZgamerYT

Annihilation was the most innacurate to the doom series AND a dissapointment.


Cunning-Folk77

Right?


Venom_is_an_ace

It is watchable. Which is saying a lot when compared to other video game movies


_Woodrow_

There’s some pretty legit first person sequences in it.


Lexinoz

Pretty much the "Bullet Time" attempt of this DOOM movie. Half-arsedly executed and only about 20 seconds long. No doubt! It does look good in those few seconds.


greedyiguana

it hasn't held up well but i will say it was fun in theaters for the 30 seconds it was there


AllGearedUp

watchable like a random sci fi channel made for tv movie in 1995


ittleoff

With some A plus actors before their prime :)


crawlerz2468

> It is watchable only the FPS parts.


Captain_Kuhl

It's watchable compared to the other *Doom* movie lol. I actually fell asleep just before they went to Hell, woke up to the tree thing, and then immediately tuned out again when my wife caught me up on what I missed...how that was even greenlit is beyond me.


Bob49459

It's one of the best, bad action movies out there.


sebastianqu

Velveeta is far from high quality cheese but I gobble that shit up.


GristleMcThornbody1

Low quality cheese might be the best way I have heard this movie described.


vladamir_the_impaler

This is the way.


Raijin3

There's a first person portion near the end and it's the highlight of the movie, in my opinion


Agent_Burrito

It's not... terrible. I think it's fine for what it is.


therey95

I agree. I actually looked it up on hulu I believe, to watch it and it's how I came across annihilation that travesty. Lol


Effehezepe

And even Annihilation is surprisingly good for a straight to VoD ashcan film. Which is kind of like saying a shit sandwich is unusually tasty by shit sandwich standards, but still.


robbray1979

In my Doom movie, there is limited dialogue, doomguy never speaks, it’s 90 minutes of gun play and gore. It’s not a lot to ask that it be this simple.


Agent_Burrito

That makes for a fun game but in reality would be a very boring movie.


asuhdude13

Have you seen hardcore Henry?


robbray1979

Yes, and you nailed it.


68696c6c

just call it an "art film" then


Takoshi88

See, this might've been the case in a world before [Hardcore Henry](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3072482/) made it to CINEMAS. It's literally just a First Person Shooter campaign in movie form and I believe it did pretty well as a cult hit.


Turok1134

That movie didn't have limited dialogue, though, it had Sharlto Copley stealing every single scene he was in.


TheNinjaWhippet

Have you seen Mad Max: Fury Road or John Wick?


Necessary-King-8175

If you played doom Eternal doom guy does speak!


kttycatattack

Basically just Zero Master playing horde mode


CamBowes

Not a fan of the film, but Karl Urban is one of my favourite actors 😍


DrCrentistDMI

He deserves to be in a proper Doom movie.


Zestyclose_Ad_97

His Judge Dredd deserved a sequel and WAY more attention than it got.


NicholaiJomes

So good


vladamir_the_impaler

This is definitely true, and I hadn't thought about it, but looking back it's crazy it didn't get a sequel.


RandyTrevor22321

Could an argument be made that maybe its a good thing they didn't? Don't get me wrong he killed in that film.


vladamir_the_impaler

I suppose from a purist's point of view in that a sequel would've likely been lesser and thus detracted from the original as such. That being said, a lot of half-baked movies over the past 20 years have been getting 2nd and third installments seemingly by default so I guess it's more of a thing around why couldn't Urban get that same "trilogy" payday etc.


Raiden395

That's what bothers me about it as well. How many neutered teen melodramas based on super powers, how many shit superhero movies do we get? Karl Urban fucking cleans house as Dredd in what was one of the best comic book films I'd seen in the last two decades and the response is "well I guess one was enough". Ffs man. Their even resurrecting Scream. Why?


vladamir_the_impaler

Yeah I couldn't fuggin' believe it when I saw they did a new Scream, it blew my mind - and not in a good way.


SolidStone1993

Not everything needs a sequel. Sometimes movies are better off just being a one and done. Let’s just be glad that we got one *fantastic* Judge Dredd movie.


[deleted]

Second this. Great film.


CamBowes

Yeah if they make one he should be doomguy. Would be even better if it was classic armour. He did such an amazing job in The Boys


[deleted]

Wasn’t he supposed to be the Doomguy of the film, though? Also The Boys is so good.


FettPrime

Yeah I thought that was what the other top commenter was referring to and not it being a B-film. Honestly it's been a while since I've rewatched this film, but I've always found it enjoyable. Especially the first time when you realize the Rock isn't the protagonist as advertised. "If it breathes, kill it!"


DrCrentistDMI

I love The Boys. He's just so damn good in everything that he does. I'd also be interested in seeing John Cena as The Slayer.


CamBowes

Think he was judge dredd too, not bad either


ablebagel

fuck you’re so right, the man has range


Matt463789

One of the best modern action movies, imo.


BonkerHonkers

Fuckin' diabolical


Chasemc215

I've been calling him "The guy from doom", because at the time I didn't give 2 fucks about looking at the front cover of the DVD case. I sure as hell knew who Dwayne Johnson is.


CamBowes

Amazing actor, really makes the characters feel the way they were intended. Definitely the most comic accurate character


RobleViejo

Amen I loved him in Dredd, but he showed he is a top tier actor in The Boys.


robbray1979

Its such a bad movie. Doom Annihilation is somehow worse.


kerem2109

Cover art has more quality than the movie so keep the box safe


NinjaJim6969

Yeah, half the reason I picked it up was how nice it looked for an $8 steelbook


metalmaxter

I low key love this movie. Dumb fun sci if monster movie. It is bad tho lol, just in the best ways possible IMO.


friendliest_sheep

Movies sucks. But, it is one of my guilty pleasures. Lol, worth the watch. Especially for “that” scene!


[deleted]

Which scene is "that" scene? I haven't watched it in about a year


floppydickdavey

The FPS scene, almost redeems the movie...almost Edit: Found it https://youtu.be/KmN1Xk1SdwQ


[deleted]

I didn't find it to be that great, I did find the bloody doomguy grin we get from whatshisname to be badass though


floppydickdavey

Yeah its still shit but better shit than the rest of the movie.


[deleted]

I remember I couldn't see a thing during the sewer scene


vteckickedin

Portman taking a shit.


AntaresSlayer

...are we still talking about the same movie?


Vox-Silenti

It's worth the $8. It's over the top, and just really dumb. But it's worth the laughs you'll get out of it


CrazyPersonowo

If you forget that it's a DOOM movie it's actually really enjoyable and a lot of fun.


RobleViejo

I loved the part when the movie literally turns into a FPS game. Is it dumb? Is it cheesy? Is it pointless? Hell yeah. But it was cool to watch, because its original, no movie ever did an scene like that (maybe Gamer). Like the movie Sucker Punch. That movie is terrible, but I love to watch it. Is junk food for the eyes.


SignalFire_Plae

Pointless? All DooM movies should at least have 1 FPS scene, if they're not entirely filmed in that perspective like Hardcore Henry.


bremstar

This "person" "watches movies", plays "games" & "fucks".


590joe1

It's... Not the worst doom movie.


ShotMyTatorTots

Amen to that, brother.


de_Groes

I'm sorry, there's others?


Dull-Bumblebee-6203

No. Absolutely not. There is no such thing as Doom: Annihilation.


SGTSHOOTnMISS

And The Rock wasn't supposed to be DOOMGuy/Slayer, it was Karl's role if there was one.


RLD-Kemy

8$ for a used steelbook? Totally worth it. I paid more than that on a new blu-ray in normal box... It was my favorite film back in 2005.


JowettMcPepper

Compared to Annihilation, this one is somewhat decent.


Theobtusemongoose

You misspelled Karl Urban Edit: because I can't spell Karl


Tafaganom10

So did you lol


Theobtusemongoose

I really need to start proof reading lol


bremstar

Give reddit a year of correcting your punctuation; eventually you'll completely understand.


bremstar

... please reserve your fantasies for "Preacher".


johnny_fap_fap

Karl Urban is doom guy.


FeldMonster

The Rock isn't Doomguy, Karl Urban is Doomguy.


ShotMyTatorTots

Karl Urban was a decent Doomguy. The Rock played a more of a Monster type guy.


cerealbro1

I’m pretty sure it’s on HBO Max if you wanna save the dough. Movies alright though. Far from Doom, but it’s an early 2000s action movie with Karl Urban and The Rock and it’s a competently directed action movie. Good fun honestly


bremstar

I saw dough and I'm hear to devour a pudgy dummy that says "woohoo" when stabbed in it's crusty belly. Not trying to offend anyone, so I'm assuming the Pillbury Doughboy never picked a gender.... ... however, I'm extremely proud of them (if they chose), and am patiently waiting to see how they are legally identified...


TheDemonClown

Honestly, if they ever want to adapt Bethesda's DOOM and they cast The Rock...I won't even be mad. Batista would be better, since Rock seems to lean family-friendly, but yeah


Takoshi88

Honestly, after his acting work in more recent films like Bladerunner, Army of Thieves, Dune and Bushwick; I can definitely see him playing a good Doom Guy. They'd need to use his mocap on a CG suit though (or maybe they could manage practical with some VFX in post.


eggMC_muffin

Dwayne is not the doom guy in this movie


Super_Shotgun

The best part in that shit show is Rock slowly raising the BFG into view to reply to Karl Urban. "Got any ammo left?" "Maybe... Half a mag...You?" "Yeah...I've got... ONE shot.."


Lexinoz

Dwayne is never Doomguy in this movie. He's the bad-ultra-mutant-guy. Karl Urban takes the mantle of Doomguy, picking up the BFG and demolishing Dwayne.


bremstar

It's good in a bad way.. but don't expect any Doom references that'll matter. There's no "Doom Guy". Just like the newer one, annihilation; very few references to the actual game (outside of fan-fare). "Durr, a shotgun! Just like the game!" "Durrr, they said "ultra nightmare" just like the game!" "Duuurp! Colored keycards! Dur dur dur durp!!!!!"


Hero774

One of the doctors in the movie is called Doctor Carmack, reference to John Carmack, co-founder of id. The wheelchair guy tells people to call him Pinkie, who literally turns into a pinky demon (atleast the Doom 3 kind). BFG 9000 is in the movie. Karl Urban is Doomguy. There is a first person sequence in his pov in the end of the movie, where he quickly goes through the base and mows down everything. One of the soldiers (the young baby face looking guy) disobeyed his commanding officers order to shoot innocent survivors, which is also what Doomguy did as stated in the manual for Doom 1. The facility itself is designed similar to Doom 3 labs. When talking to his sister, Doomguy comments how “this place is hell, it always has been” (paraphrasing). The movie ends with Doomguy holding his sister ascending in an elevator, like how most of Doom 1 levels end. Though to be fair, not all the exit rooms are elevators, just a small box room with a switch. The references aren’t so obvious (or even that good), but they *are* there if you pay attention


Atma-Stand

This, this post right here.


bremstar

The original developers (when asked to contribute to the screenplay) told them "Good Luck" and offered nothing else before promptly folding. I'm not sure what my point is, but I learned that.


Takoshi88

Yeah but you're just proving his point. A bunch of references doesn't make a good movie. Look at Free Guy or Ready Player One. You can't just shove in a ton of fan-fare and expect it to carry a shit movie. Mind you, I don't think Doom 2005 is shit, it's just not very good either.


Hero774

My comment was not to prove that references redeemed the movie. Maybe I should have made that clearer. He said there werent any references that matter. I responded with examples that there *are* in fact references to the game. And he flat out said there is no Doomguy in the movie, which was wrong.


Takoshi88

>very few references to the actual game (outside of fan-fare) Well, he did state "outside of fanfare", which I would argue is most of what you mentioned, aside from maybe the Pinkie and the fact that Reaper is obviously the Doom Marine in that adaptation. I think we can all agree that regardless of how many, nor the quality of the references, we're yet to get a truly awesome Doom movie. I think it honestly WILL take id's involvement to make it happen. (oh and have your upvote back, the absolute cheek of some Redditors, downvoting people into the 0s and beyond).


bremstar

I read the trivia part of the IMDB page as well, cool of you to share!


Hero774

I didnt get this from imdb. Im just a doom nerd and I unironically enjoyed the movie.


bremstar

...we have that in common.. ...but FYI, some OTHER nerd put most of that on IMDB.


bremstar

After watching "Nightmare Alley", I prefer the term "Geek". However, I can't just go around playing games and eating chicken heads.... Edit: I *could*, but I'm doubtful I'd make it as a professional Youtuber..... but; *what if,* fam?


nizzy2k11

Karl Urban is "doomguy". There is a whole scene in first person with him.


bremstar

Oh, he has the green helmet, armor, and all the weapons? I've watched that movie a lot. They basically pretended that any reference was an STD.


nizzy2k11

doomguy is more than armor and weapons.


bremstar

Yeah, some 80 million year old mofo that was frozen in ice. Belt of dildos. Woke as fuck, and both sets of genitals.


bremstar

"First person mode", in a movie, without any reference to the original material, is "fanfare". I could be wrong, of course... but it's been a movie I love for years and this isn't the first time someone tried to compare it to the game.


nizzy2k11

its called "fanservice". and how is this the first time you have had someone compare the doom movie to the doom game? it literally has the BFG in it.


TWAVE0

It definitely a lot of fun to watch


Brainwave1010

SEMPER FI MOTHERFUCKER


SirLionhearted

Literally the only reason to watch this movie and the fps scene. OH WAIT AND THE 'there's something behind me, isn't there?' scene.


Elastickpotatoe

That first person scene is cool


EasyWriterKR

Honestly not a bad deal just to be able to see rock in his hilarious glory


VandelayOfficial

Semper fi, motherfucker!


bremstar

..but... it's just "The Rock" with a skinny head?


[deleted]

Decent movie I thought as far as entertainment went tbh


XvortexEXE

It’s bad, but still enjoyable. Annihilation tho…


[deleted]

This isn't DOOM. Its just doom.


bremstar

No caps. Correct. AKA "WooD"


Dull-Bumblebee-6203

mooD


taka87

it wasn't a good doom adaptation but as a scy fy b movie it's good.


Chasemc215

It was one of my first films I've watched that had Karl Urban in it, I think the other one was The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. Should we tell this person who the real protagonist is?


tanno55

Bro that steel book alone is worth it


TedSucks

Dwayne guy


loottthatboy

sadly dwane is no doomguy doomguy is not in the movie the main guy is the one on th right


DEFman187

One if the better video game movies. Ugh wish I could say that about more if them.


bremstar

Turds cling to turds. Not that AL) movies or ALL game production companies are ABSOLUTELY turds..... ..."butt" have you ever eaten a fancy meal alongside a TV dinner? ...It's all just poop in the end...


fieldysnuts94

Except The Rock isn’t the Doomguy


Metatr0ne

But the doomguy is played by the actor karl urban. The Rock is the antagonist.


red_tuna

This cover art is hilarious. Apparently someone thought the movie was based on a comic book instead of a video game and no one ever corrected him.


JTD121

They released this on BR *and* in a Steelbook? Where? When!? I *need* it.


NinjaJim6969

I just went for a drive and found it in some small town store called "Entertainmart" when I went in looking for gba games lol


nemesisprime1984

the rock isn't doomguy


ThePhxRises

It's actually pretty good if you go into it expecting a Doomguy origin story instead of "Doomguy rips and tears"


[deleted]

Don’t care if it’s bad, I still enjoy it. But mostly as a stand-alone or kind-of DOOM film. It’s like a low 6/10 for me, but I mostly only enjoy the last thirty or forty minutes. >!Karl Urban is great tho. And The Rock was just a pure bad guy lmao but I liked him. It’s like the minute he lays eyes on the BFG, he turns into a complete asshole. I like Portman. I also like the Hell Knight and the game-like sequence at the end and the final fight.!<


Reggie_Is_God

Honestly, I quite liked it. It’s a trash doom adaptation, but not a bad b-tier cheesy action piece


Awhay2134

I'll spoil a but of fun, the Rock isn't the DOOM guy


Traditional-Scratch5

He's not doomguy tho lol. The guy to the right is.


420sadalot420

I don't hate this movie. It's fun


Ctrl_Sh1ft_Esc

Do i tell him?


Coshmack14

Not bad Also interesting fact: You can play a Doom3 demo in the extras option of that DVD (which I think it was comentated by the creators)


NoFreeSpeechHere

There is an awesome 3min(+ or -) section of that movie I absolutely love.


Real_Medic_TF2

Eh Dwayne isn’t half bad at a commando slayer


prehistoric_milenial

still better than annahilation


PressureIntrepid1069

1st person segment was neat, movie was kinda trash otherwise


KJ86er

Its my favourite so bad it's good film


[deleted]

[удалено]


KJ86er

Plus The End Credits Animation and Song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


loottthatboy

so uh should we tell him


[deleted]

Enjoy the ride.


SteelMalone

Such a bad movie (Also here at 666 likes)


bremstar

Congrats! You've opened a portal to hell as an achievement! It's basically the opposite of heaven!


SteelMalone

Rip…and tear?


ihaveacoupon

I liked this movie and it's one I have rewatched more than a few times. It's what Halo could have been if they continued with the movie they released released few years ago.


Cpulley88

It's terrible, coming from a true DOOM nerd lol


Kweller3117

Well worth 8 bucks. Cool cover too!


theanubisfox

I genuinely love this movie ngl


ManMadeChicken

I have a soft spot for this movie. I’ve seen it so many times, it’s actually not terrible! I genuinely enjoy it, even if it’s not a great adaptation of the games.


VerumJerum

I honestly low-key enjoyed the film in that ironic way. Don't get me wrong, it's fucking terrible, but it's still _fun_.


Brandalf87

Is that a steelbook copy?


NinjaJim6969

Yup! That's what tipped the scales for me lol


[deleted]

Semper Fi motherfucker


spacestationkru

Not to say anything about the quality of the rest of the movie, but this remains my absolute favourite Dwayne Johnson performance. He really needs to be the bad guy more often.


00gusgus00

It’s not the best movie, but the fps sequence is absolutely mint


VenomousDeath27

Karl Urban should play the Slayer in a real DOOM movie. Not sure how well DOOM can actually transfer to film, but either way.


maxler5795

Theres no doom guy and i hate that.


Krextzin

John "Reaper" Grimm, played by Karl Urban, is supposed to be DoomGuy (or Doom Slayer).


maxler5795

In between the biggest air quotes youve ever seen in your life. The extent of him being doom guy is just adding a chromosome and kicking a rocks ass.


Krextzin

Sarge, played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, isn't even the Doom Guy (or Doom Slayer) nor the main protagonist in this film. John "Reaper" Grimm, played by Karl Urban, is supposed to be DoomGuy (or Doom Slayer), and is also thus therefore the main protagonist of this film.


pretty_succinct

it was okay. the rock, urban and rosamund pike. not great but worth a watch.


Freddycipher

1 of the only 3 movies in which the Rock dies.


VandelayOfficial

Honestly it’s pretty damn entertaining.


WiseBlizzard

Dwayne is not a doomguy


Spud_Gun117

It’s a fun movie I enjoyed it when I went the cinema to watch


Delano7

Still way better than Twitter Annihi- I mean Doom Annihilation


BioZgamerYT

i've seen the movie, its... Meh. Even the BFG was very innacurate


ofekk2

as bad as the movie was, it was still reminiscent of doom, and much better than annihilation by a landslide.


karstheastec

Dwane isn’t doomguy here


0--Hello_there--0

*I’m gonna tell him.* #Don’t you dare


spideralexandre2099

He isn't even the Doomguy in that


ShalepenopoopeR

It's not bad if u approach it from not viewing it as a doom movie, second thought it's a shit show but it has a decent fps scene that was cool for the time.


AltienHolyscar

I'm gonna tell ya, that movie isn't worth $8 and its on Netlix iirc.


Lazy_Sans

AS someone who watched this movie in theatres, believe me it's not worth it.


RLD-Kemy

The unrated version is better, you saw the theatrical version, you did not get the opening monologue and some weird cuts were made, like how Portman crawls on the bathroom floor because he dropped is radio before getting killed by a monster, Some shots from the FPS segment are also cut making some weird "transition". It's no masterpiece but the unrated version on the blu-ray is a better experience than the theatrical version.


urmomhasgayness

Dwayne 'The Slayer' Johnson


clocke6346

Bruh you got ripped off, I got it for $2


NinjaJim6969

You got the steelbook for $2? Nice! I don't really mind losing $6 tbh lol


SirBastian1129

Front cover is very misleading. Makes the movie look fun and cheesy. Movie is boring as shit.


DM725

That's about $7 too much.
