Doom Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Doom Doom is available for streaming or downloading. |
A lot of people like to criticize the DOOM movie as being a “bad” movie - a classic example of what goes wrong when you try to transport a thread-bare video game plot to the big screen. I’m here to disagree.

It’s pretty easy to make the case that DOOM the movie is a terrible translation of DOOM the video game. The core of the “plot” from the game is entirely changed. In the game, irresponsible experiments with matter teleportation in a base on Mars opens a rift between our world, and Hell itself. Hell comes spilling through into our reality, and it’s up to the player as a lone gun-wielding protagonist to mow his way through thousands of zombie humans and hell-spawned demons till he defeats the very forces of Hell. Nothing of that made it into the movie. The similarities are: It takes place on Mars, and there are guns. There is even a teleporter in the plot but it’s simply there as a device to keep the action going quickly between the Mars installation and the final showdown in the bowels of the UAC facility on Earth. No Hell, no demons. This is all replaced by genetic experimentation aimed at creating a “super human” - something the ancient Martians failed at, with similar results.
This fundamental change to the plot of the story was a disappointment, but you know what? Everything else works. The sets look similar to the “feel” of the locations in Doom 3, the genetically altered humans look like a few of the monsters from Doom 3, and there is a hilariously great “first person shooter” sequence that had me smiling like a silly kid. Yeah, there’s some woeful dialog, yeah, there are some lapses in logic (why would a science installation on Mars have a catacombs-style sewer system with the air-space venting directly into the facility itself - that would be one stinky, humid research lab) but overall, the movie is fun, it’s competently made, there are some fun characters, there are some terrific set pieces, and in the end, it’s entertaining.

The blu-ray release is a bit late to the party - the was one of the first HD-DVD titles released and it’s taken a while to come out on the “other” HD format. The picture is stunning - dead perfect black levels, zero noise, crisp detail, no artifacting at all. The audio is great - only rarely do the action scenes break down into “noisy chaos” - overall it’s highly detailed and nuanced.
Fans of the game are treated to some “in-jokes”: The names of most of the scientists in the UAC lab are based on the names of the primary developers of the video game - John Carmack, Tim Willits, etc. While most of the weaponry in the movie is standard military type gear, the BFG 9000 from the game makes an appearance in the movie (looking sort of like a V-8 engine with a trigger). The teams names (Sarge, Reaper, etc.) come from another ID game - Quake 3. The “first person shooter” sequence in particular is a shout-out to fans of the genre, and is very well done.
Love it, hate it - it’s a very well produced HD version of the movie, and despite it’s flaws, it’s a very entertaining action movie.
Everyone has mixed feelings on movies based on videogames. But every once in a while there is a good one that shines through the muck. This isn’t that movie. That being said, Doom definitely stands on its own as a movie worth watching.
So long as you watch this movie without expecting anything but a action flick worth laughing at, then you will enjoy this movie. Not too mention the over the top First Person shooter bit at the end of the film. The movie at times gets a bit silly. But that’s where its charm comes in. This is a top dollar B movie.
You will either love it or hate it, but as long as you don’t watch it expecting demons from Hell popping up, you should be fine to give it a chance. I found the scenes with the Rock to be fun and entertaining. While Keith Urban truly gave me a reason to watch his other films after seeing this. There are some excellent one-liners in the movie, some which will haunt me for the rest of my life… But I am glad I saw this movie and am happy to own it on Blu-Ray.
Speaking of Blu-Ray, the transfer is quite good. A definite step up from the DVD, the action doesn’t cause the frame rate to diminish in quality. The sound is as good to be expected in a horror film. All in all, a solid title for what it is. I give it 4 out of 5 stars based on the quality of the film itself rather than the quality of the Blu-Ray.
