![]() There’s nothing wrong with an all male cast sometimes and especially in a project like Doom, which is more of a reflection upon the modern man, both literally and figuratively.Īlthough the writing really suffered and many of the translation from the game into the movie were altered almost beyond recognition to the point where you don’t care, the most disappointing aspects was the production design, the props, and costumes. I could have done with an all male cast for this movie. “I’m not suppose to DIE!” The rest of the cast, was not very comfortable with their roles, and the confusing addition of a female character in the story, although it is relieving that she doesn’t let out obnoxious shrills throughout the whole movie, does not bring anything but a confused “huh?”. Too many movies are now following this unwritten law of plots, that formulatic characterization that acts like it is more important than story.ĭwayne “The Rock” Johnson does offer us some insight into what the director is trying to tell us and he is the only one who didn’t at all seem confused about his character, the only thing his performance lacked was his usual humorous self-awareness about his character, which did finally come at the end. “Doom” is the perfect game that can be adapted into a horror, action, or war film and come out with some ripe thrills and some edge-of-the-seat action, but I couldn’t help but notice that the movie, from the very beginning, fell apart when it tried to put pause on the story to characterize. There was a foreign, almost unheard of director helming, a fresh writing team, and a couple of well cast leads suiting for such roles. I was actually having some hopes for Doom, though. But sadly, I walked away from this one almost depressed. Or that the movie be too much like the others before it. There is a point where both video game fanatics and film buffs will want to see that neither the movie will try to be too much like the game nor the game too much like the movie. ![]()
