I got a small story for you guys. I went to a convention Karl Urban was at many years ago, he’s done a Star Trek Project called “Star Trek Continues” with Vic Mignona and was travelling with him I think. This was a few years before he did The Boys. I brought with me a copy of Dredd and Doom to get signed. Approaching Karl, I gave him the copy of Dredd, he excitedly asked me who my favourite character was, we chatted for a minute about Judge Death, The Dark Judges and I told him about the Judge Child saga which had my favorite short story in it. I asked him if he’d be down to do a sequel and he said he had a few projects in the pipes, but absolutely would return to do Dredd again. He signed my DVD “I Am The Law” But then I gave him the Doom copy to sign. All the color drained from his face and he looked positively graven. His smile and optimism, just gone. He asked me “are you being serious” and I said “what? Yea of course, I love this movie I swear” He looked off into space for what felt like the longest time and I swear I saw tears well in his eyes. Then with most reluctance I’ve ever witnessed in a human being, he signed it “I wasted The Rock” and then I moved on not long after. That movie ruined that man. God bless him, he was far too good for it. That memory will haunt me forever.
I hope by now he knows that it may have been a lame movie, but it still has brought a lot of people enjoyment (and, for the people who worked on it, employment). Not everything has to be high art to have value.
I remember a "documentary" about a newbie filmmaker (or at least he was "trying" to be) and he needed money to travel because the school he wanted to study in was in another country (or something like that, I don't remember but he needed money for his cause). And he knew because of the news that they where filming Doom near of where they where staying, so he was given permission to enter the set and met The Rock, and he made some donations and I think he started a charity or some shit for this guy to enter the school or find the funds to travel. This guy was so proud and narcissistic that rejected all the help saying something like: I don't need their money I'm better than them. He also went to get the visas for staying in the country and the date to renew them came close or some shit, and he didn't do it saying something like: I don't need to do that (like if he was beyond law and society). And then complained to people and insulted people of his misfortune, he was getting kicked out of the country because of lack of a visa (surprise surprise). All the money people collected for him (including The Rock's) was used not for his trip but in trying to do some damage control due to his stupidity and at the end he was left with nothing, nothing was gained, he still wanted money for school, but rejected all help even though he was being obnoxious to people to let him do whatever he wanted. A total failure of a person I tell you.
@@ElSandwich777I remember Vic mignona, hes the guy that got accused of sexual assault for hugging some lady when he was voicing broly in the dragon ball movie.
What’s funny about this movie is that it’s about virus infected zombies on Mars, not Demons from Hell. So basically it’s a Resident Evil movie called Doom. Reaper even has a sister like Chris and Claire Redfield in Resident EvilZ
Civvie stated it the best "You could call it Super Mario Brothers and nobody would mind. Look, Karl Urban is a Mario, Rosamund Pike is a Peach and this guy is my leaving will to live *shows guy mutating in steel bed*".
I love that the image of Possum in a room filled with a mountain of toilet paper and hand sanitizer will forever mark the timestamp on this review. I look forward to watching this review again in the far future where we will look back on that time with some well-deserved shame and shaking of heads.
As a kid I enjoyed this movie… but as an adult who has played all the doom games, I can see now why ppl hate it, I think if it didn’t have the Doom name it wouldn’t have gotten that much hate 😅😅
@HappyBeezerStudios Kinda like Godfather part 3. By itself, it's an okay mob movie. Compared to the previous two masterpieces in the franchise, though, it looks really bad.
Possum, although it sucks that you had to take this video down and re do it with still images, you did a good job re-editing this video. The background music, your commentary and showing so many still images at a good pace definitely makes up for having to use still images instead of moving images.
I think it's a fun movie. Sure it has some problems but it's entertaining. You have the Butcher, The Rock and Richard Brake. Way better than the garbage Doom Annihilation. I have to give them credit for at least doing the FPS scene which took a lot of time to prepare.
@@JDoe-gf5oz right? watched it on tv one day and thought for sure there were more scenes that I remember. they even cut out pinky's legs being teleported.
It's one of the earliest "The Rock" movies, where Dwayne "The Rock"Johnson plays The Rock. If you ever watched Fast and Furious from the 5th onwards, or Jumanji, or Jungle Cruise, or any movie starring The Rock, you know what I'm talking about.
My favorite 'The Rock' movies are The Rundown and Walk Tall. Dude used to make really good stuff. Haven't really enjoyed his work since he became a mega star.
@@nameredacted7622 he's super full of himself now. he even has a contract with himself that he is not allowed to lose a fight unless he approves of it.
I wanna see a movie similar to the expendables but instead of "A-list" action stars, it's all "B-list" guys like Urban, Jeremy Renner, Joseph Gordon Levitt.. the bad guy can be ed Harris!
Feels like a movie where the original Script had nothing to do with Doom, but they decided to take it, change some things around, and suddenly its kind of a Doom movie.
The fact that the "copyright owners" would strike a video discussing an irrelevant 18 year old movie is a good reason to avoid seeing or paying money for anything these "owners" have made, ever again. We should not care whether they live or die.
@@Cold_Cactus why pay people who will call you all sorts of names if you don't like their shit, when there's free movies everywhere. Free download is our duty as citizens!!!
Doom was a dark movie. Literally, I mean. Why go into these lab rooms with flashlights? Use the light switch! They have power. Turn on the lights! It was also painfully slow. I had the DVD and watched it on 2x speed (so I could still hear the dialog, just sped up) and it was still unbearably boring.
The whole point of the protagonists backstory was that he may have had something to do with his parents death and felt guilt over it and this guilt pushed him away from pursuing their legacy and into the military and being in the military he likely killed a lot more people and felt guilt about that as well. It's why he didn't want the injection to save his life because he believed he deserved what happened to him since he viewed himself as "evil." Most of this is heavily implied by the movie and is only contextualized by the reuniting of the siblings. Even so, without him being directly or indirectly involved in his parents' death, he may still be harboring guilt for being in the military, having possibly killed people. Also side note, the HGP was never properly finished. Funding was cut due to the amount of time it was taking to complete and that led scientists working on the project to make the claim that it had finished. So the statement made by Sam(character) isn't entirely incorrect.
When it first came out, my two friends and I went to watch it in theater. As soon as I realized we were the only people in the theater, I knew we were in for some epic shlock
i guess i'm in the minority that really enjoyed this .i watched this movie for the first time and played doom 3 around the same time so i felt like they nailed what they were going for. if they tried to make a doom movie based on any game besides 3 it would be like the deleted scenes from event horizon or a snuff film lol.
It's more the original two games are like action movies with the non-action scenes cut out. There's room to shove a plot in there, though adding additional characters is a must(you might be able to get away with Dooomguy talking to himself, but I wouldn't count on it).
24:35 Not to be nitpicking but in the Doom universe, monsters can both come out of Hell themselves OR take over human bodies and mutate them. Undead UAC marines are literally the first enemies you see in the original Doom. Hell is more of a force than it is a specific form; The flaming skulls spawning from Hell might once have been real human skulls or they're just 'made up' by Hell itself. (Which still means her assumption is wrong, of course)
It worked as a action-horror film, but not as a doom adaption, and that's the problem. The fact that the Rock turned out to be a villain was a nice twist anyways. I enjoyed the film when it came out, flaws and all.
It was essentially an 80's style action movie. Back then the majority of the action movies were like this stupid. If you can accept this it was an ok movie. Not a Doom movie though. The references were eyeroll inducing even back then, even though me and my friends were Doom fans.
@TheresNoFreeUsername That's what I meant, It's a decent action horror flick that's a fun romp but it's nothing really special. Taking hell out of doom was bone headed idea.
Fun fact: this movie was actually supposed to basically be live action Doom 3. Hellspawn, demonic portals and everything. But the original director had to drop out or got dropped for this other guy who was a super Christian and felt wrong making a movie about demons so he tried to make it resident evil instead.
@@unimpartialobserver I'm not a Christian but honestly, making a movie about killing demons seems like it would be a movie Christians would want to make. I mean what's more holy than putting down the Devil's army right?
I never actually disliked this movie, I thought it was perfectly serviceable as it was. It was definitely not a good movie, but it was entertaining enough for what you go in expecting. You know what you're going to get, the acting is..what it is for proto-Super Famous Rock and Karl Urban. I'd rather watch this movie 20 times than watch something made in the last decade with maybe less than 10 exceptions. The main memory of this movie that I have has nothing to do with the actual movie haha. I just specifically remember I bought it with my roommates and our girlfriends in college when I first moved out in my early 20's. I don't know why I remember that so well as a memory, but that's just something we would do in the mid 2000's...got with your girl and your friends, go to Blockbuster and buy used or rent a movie. I'm not going to explain it, because it's one of those 'if you know, you know' type of things; it's not something that can be explained to someone born in the 90's or later. Maaaybe I can see someone born in the EARLY 90's, but ya, like I said if you know, you know.
Truth be told, it's absurd that the original video was taken down, despite it being fair use. Just goes to show that laws aren't respected, or favour the big companies
I have a couple of thoughts about the movie: 1. I think that is a decent Aliens/1st Resident Evil movie ripoff, and The twist of The Rock being The Final Villain Boss of the movie instead of the Hero is probably the most interesting his career ever got. 2. I Wonder if after seeing the reception to this Karl Urban understood that fans want fidelity towards the source so he was okay with never taking the helmet off in Dredd.
@@Air_Serpent at the beginning of his acting career he was obviously trying to find his niche, remember he also made Southland Tales around this time, I don’t see Present Rock doing that.
I remember reading rumors of a Do0m movie back in the '90s. The usual gaming magazines: PC Gamer, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Diehard Gamefan, and Gamepro. Legend had it (at the time) that they wanted Arnie to play Do0mguy. I remember thinking, at the time, that Michael Biehn or Tom Berenger should play Do0mguy since Do0mguy lo0ks like the two of them combined (leaning more toward Tom Berenger). Note: One detail that this movie incorporates that's authentic to the original Do0m is Do0mguy assaulting and killing a superior officer for ordering his tro0ps to fire on civilians. 9:29 Maybe he should take his glove off first? 14:28 There's a trope even worse than that one. It's when a character gets a minor cut on their finger and then stick their finger in their mouth like a wee-little kid (something we all learn not to do when we're wee-little kids). 15:41 Sewer level: 976 16:42 Scriptwriters need consultants like you. 33:42 The movie that inspired the original Do0m! 34:00 57 years. 35:23 Sorry, Jerek, but Do0m 3's shotgun sucks. 36:19 G36 combo sights suck. The scope/iron sights combo is better.
This movie grew on me. The protagonists are a group of marines, as opposed to the one doom guy. The original games didn't have much in the way of story, so this movie took more inspiration from the 3rd game, probably the bravo team you are supposed to save.
I hesitated and didn’t die once because a Walmart employee knocked a heavy ceramic plant pot off a top shelf and it shattered to pieces. Had I not hesitated, my head would’ve been split open. 😂
R you not able to show small clips of movies anymore? This was all you did was show pics of the movie with the audio of the movie over it. I hate how RUclips ignores their own fair use laws and force great review RUclipsrs such as yourself to barely show clips of the movie
26:20, the fight scene of destroyer against hell knight is actually good. You did it dirty deliberately. Look at the scene again. He uses two pipes. One, to hit him, then he drops that pipe to pick the bigger pipe to trap him. And he dies in the end because this time he falls uncontrollably, unlike the first time where he was conscious enough to actually fall and still manage to save his head from hitting the ground.
I don't know if the audio recording was entirely useless. It made it clear they were dealing with something threatening and violent and not just some computer error
"We need HELP! We're dying up here! There's MONSTERS!" "Are you high? Again? Seriously, this is the third time this mo--" "*screaming*" "Oh, shit, you're serious."
This isn’t a Doom movie, it’s a fun, cheesy, sci-if action flick that I absolutely love. The premise is actually very interesting. Had they not slapped the “Doom” label on it and just embraced it as it’s own story, things would’ve gone a lot better.
This , should have just been a generic syfy movie about humanity's origins on earth , like we was on mars first till the atmosphere sputtered and we moved to earth with the ark thing
Well the thing is this movie was supposed to be Doom 3: The Movie. Like all the way. Problem is the original director was replaced with a super Christian who revised it to be Resident Evil in space.
@@sorrenblitz805 The irony is, you would think a true believer Christian who believes in the existence of devils and demons would be cool with a movie where humans fight demonspawn and other monsters. After all, that's what Jesus and all those saints did according to folklore: Driving out demons, slaying dragons etc. Admittedly, Jesus didn't use military armaments, but divine magic. But Jehova already nuked Sodom and Gomorrha in the Old Testament, with some genocides thrown in, his son wanted to be less militaristic in the New Testament sequel.
*Dwayne The Rock Johnson* - "I need soldiers, I don't need anybody else but soldiers.!" Me and the bros been using this line since we saw the movie in theaters
This game was based on Doom 3 a relatively hated Doom game for having brand new concepts and being survival horror. The rock is supposed to be a parody of Sergeant Thomas Kelly. You're main ally during Doom 3 that eventually turns into the second boss after being possessed. In fact the only people who didn't get parodies were swan and his bodyguard. Little bit of trivia.
I didn't get that the rock was a direct character from doom 3, because I never played doom 3 being a relatively hated doom game for not being doom. Figured he was simply a misdirect of "actual doom guy" instead of urban.
@@tappy8741I would suggest playing Doom 3 just not as a doom game. It really is worth the money. Even though people complain every 5 seconds that the flashlights are not on the gun and there's no duct tape on mars.
@@coastalvan1978 If I liked that sort of game I would. But if I was going to play any modern doom game it would be doom 2016, that would be closest in spirit to the arcadey awesomeness that is the original.
Said it plenty of times before. As a popcorn flick, it's fun. Just slap any other name on it and we're good. "Marines on Mars", "Martian Mutation", "The 24th Chromosome" or some other B+ or A- movie title. Calling it Doom set expectations too high and then the deviation from the source material brought everything crashing down. And that was a mistake that the producers will have to live with. But the chemistry between The Rock and Karl Urban still makes it worthwhile to watch as an action flick. If you want a solid Doom adaptation, you could adapt the Hugh/Linaweaver novels into a screenplay. The only issue some folks might have with that is SPOILER ALERT -It does involve aliens near the end- But the story is still awesome and we'd still get plenty of monster stomping action and hopefully a badass chick that can actually pull off a high and tight without looking like a dude. You also have Doom 3 which, despite what the haters say, is a great game in its own right and would make a decent foundation for a Doom film. Just imagine the battle in the mess hall with Sarge being adapted to the big screen. You'd have to be a total dunce to screw that one up. And hell, if you could do something with that game, just picture what could be possible with Doom 2016/Doom Eternal? Or even better, just stick to the mindless ultra-violence of OG Doom and sprinkle in a little bit of lore here and there. Like literally just add text screens and you'd still get a better Doom adaptation than what we got in 2005. But the bottom line is: without a passionate (and competent) staff, we'd probably just end up with another Doom: Annihilation and yet another blemish on the history of the most legendary franchise in the history of the FPS genre.
7:28 there grudge is talked about, it's because she was part of the team that reopened the dig site that there parents died at when he wanted it to remained closed. Her excuse was they where gonna open it anyway
I think if it wasnt called Doom or in anyway trying to be tied to the game series it actually would of been a halfway decent action scifi flick. But it tried to be a game tie in and with it carried a lot of expectation from the community of Doom fans, who you DO NOT wanna peeve off. First person scene was really cool though
These guys have been loyal to a franchise for almost 30 years now. You promise something Doom to them, you better deliver. Good thing 2016 and Eternal were so good.
As a note. The Army says Huah, but it is said without the ah part. Uttered as though you have been punched in the stomach. Also with a disputed history.
12:51 I remember this part from the movie, I got caught off guard and I didn’t expect that in a movie based on a game where funny turtle man with big gun make demon go boom boom
Someday, somehow RUclips will be back to it's roots and respect RUclipsrs again. Argh, who I'm lying. RUclips never will be good again. Period. Great video like always, Possum man! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Not to mention that the skeletons alone can't stay in any pose without tendons and ligaments which biodegrade and of course the necessary muscles to hold it in the position which of course the muscles biodegrade. The only reason the people of Pompeii are preserved is because of the shit that covered them and killed them otherwise it literally never happens.
The nano wall does make sense. They explain the idea is that the wall is supposed to keep out any biological material that they deem unsafe. Considering that the company was doing off the books biological experiments with aliens makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that later in the movie one of the monsters chaces them into the infirmary, and the way the stop it is by making the wall solid after it partially passes through. Though by their own explanation the monster shouldn't have been able to pass through in the first place, as that was the point of the nano wall to begin with...to act as a bio filter.
Maybe now in hindsight but back in 2005 it was clear he wasn't the hero. Doom 3 was the current release and we all knew he was playing the Sergeant who goes evil in the game. The press stuff at the time claimed the movie to be faithful to the game so I knew he was the bad guy.
What are they afraid people are going cone here to experience the movie? This is a review which means they are actually attempting to silence their critics.
The theme is that unchecked science is bad. They reflect this by having the hero choose to become a marine and not a scientist. He still needs his sister to transform however, showing that science with a purpose is good. As opposed to science for sciences sake. At least that's what I always got out of it.
He thinks he's evil because he chose to become a marine: a killer. He fears he is like his friend and commanding officer, who just shot his own subordinate dead without a second thought. The reveal is that he is indeed still good, and that being a soldier doesn't make you evil. With a little contrast between the kid getting support from Sarge, who kills him for perceived treachery, and Grim's sister who believes in and supports him. Sort of a scientist alone and soldiers alone can be evil, but good people working together with their difference can overcome. I always found it to be an important and complex moral that wasn't perfectly executed when put on film.
I thought it was interesting that Goat is the other one who doesn't actively turn ON them after he's turned. His bad behavior is only really understood as *morally* wrong from his religious perspective (because in many Christian interpretations, self-mutilation is considered disrespectful to the point of sin); and in the end, he retains enough of his moral compass to self-terminate rather than be a danger to those around him.
My favorite part is the guy who played the creepy bastard who has been a victim in the first part of Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and was in Rob Zombie's 31 as main bad guy
Doom literally just has a few of things that if you just stick to them you can easily make a doom movie because even the original creator of the doom game said he believes stories in games doesn't matter it just has to be fun So basically the only thing you need for a doom movie is a super strong protagonist who doesn't give a fuck about his enemies And demons for him to rip up with guns and a chainsaw I dont understand how they keep messing it up
I love that Possum went through the painstaking process of replacing all of the movie footage with other images and videos. Great work. But I will admit: this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s almost adorable how dumb it is. And, unlike with Annihilation, it’s evident that some care and attention to detail went into the movie (using Doom 3 enemy designs, trying to make the BFG look powerful, and general set design looking somewhat like Doom 3 levels). I give it two demonic possessions out of a garbage fire.
I remember an old sketch about a movie called "Violence The Movie". No plot, no dialogue. Just 90 minutes of some bearded guy killing things. Just make a Doom movie like that in the style of Hardcore Henry.
5:39 When this first got uploaded I was just out of high-school. I fumbled the girl I liked and she was dating a guy we worked with. They're married now :,)
Considering that they didn’t have an actual story in the games besides Doom Guy being the grandson of the guy from Wolfenstein and that his bunny was killed by demons and that’s what drove him over the edge, they still did pretty bad. Like even with the limited background they still messed it up, even Doom 3 has a better storyline and it had a demo for Xbox on the dvd. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll have a good Doom movie but so far the movies (yes movies) have been bad, at least this one is dumb enough to be bad but good in a Rifftrax kind of way.
It's quite good, especially Karl Urban, but I honestly have a soft spot for the whole goon squad. So quintessentially, stereotypically "movie military unit". New guy on his first mission, check. Religious zealot, check. Crazy guy drugged to the nines, check. You gotta love it.
Having only recently watched that movie, it's still fresh in my mind (or as fresh as this thing could ever be) and I find myself in complete agreement with your review.
You know the teleworkers is called the ark because the movie hints that humanity originated on Mars and when the... I don't know, zombies? Demons? Downsyndromes? Started attacking humanity fled through the portal. Ots dumb as fuck but I'm pretty sure that's why it's called the ark. Like many others, I'm aware this isn't a great movie, but I love it anyway
I have soft spot for this movie. On my first watch I was having a rotten time, feeling mighty bad, and when it became a first person shooter…it was one of the most delightful, ridiculous things I’d ever seen. I laughed and laughed.
I saw this movie in 2005 at theaters and was super-pissed off- the first time I've ever felt rage after seeing a movie. And I saw Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, and Alone in the Dark at theaters! Such a disgraceful adaptation of the source material. I especially hate how the filmmakers replaced demons and hell dimension with the extra chromosome. So stupid!

I got a small story for you guys.
I went to a convention Karl Urban was at many years ago, he’s done a Star Trek Project called “Star Trek Continues” with Vic Mignona and was travelling with him I think. This was a few years before he did The Boys.
I brought with me a copy of Dredd and Doom to get signed.
Approaching Karl, I gave him the copy of Dredd, he excitedly asked me who my favourite character was, we chatted for a minute about Judge Death, The Dark Judges and I told him about the Judge Child saga which had my favorite short story in it.
I asked him if he’d be down to do a sequel and he said he had a few projects in the pipes, but absolutely would return to do Dredd again. He signed my DVD “I Am The Law”
But then I gave him the Doom copy to sign.
All the color drained from his face and he looked positively graven. His smile and optimism, just gone.
He asked me “are you being serious” and I said “what? Yea of course, I love this movie I swear”
He looked off into space for what felt like the longest time and I swear I saw tears well in his eyes. Then with most reluctance I’ve ever witnessed in a human being, he signed it “I wasted The Rock” and then I moved on not long after.
That movie ruined that man. God bless him, he was far too good for it. That memory will haunt me forever.

My favorite 'The Rock' movies are The Rundown and Walk Tall.

I wanna see a movie similar to the expendables but instead of "A-list" action stars, it's all "B-list" guys like Urban, Jeremy Renner, Joseph Gordon Levitt.. the bad guy can be ed Harris!
Feels like a movie where the original Script had nothing to do with Doom, but they decided to take it, change some things around, and suddenly its kind of a Doom movie.
The fact that the "copyright owners" would strike a video discussing an irrelevant 18 year old movie is a good reason to avoid seeing or paying money for anything these "owners" have made, ever again. We should not care whether they live or die.

This website is always against people like you. Never give up, you're one of the few numbers who makes logical sense on this planet anymore.
Doom was a dark movie. Literally, I mean. Why go into these lab rooms with flashlights? Use the light switch! They have power. Turn on the lights!
It was also painfully slow. I had the DVD and watched it on 2x speed (so I could still hear the dialog, just sped up) and it was still unbearably boring.
The whole point of the protagonists backstory was that he may have had something to do with his parents death and felt guilt over it and this guilt pushed him away from pursuing their legacy and into the military and being in the military he likely killed a lot more people and felt guilt about that as well. It's why he didn't want the injection to save his life because he believed he deserved what happened to him since he viewed himself as "evil." Most of this is heavily implied by the movie and is only contextualized by the reuniting of the siblings. Even so, without him being directly or indirectly involved in his parents' death, he may still be harboring guilt for being in the military, having possibly killed people.
Also side note, the HGP was never properly finished. Funding was cut due to the amount of time it was taking to complete and that led scientists working on the project to make the claim that it had finished. So the statement made by Sam(character) isn't entirely incorrect.
So.. in short u had to make things up to make the backstory work.

Don't worry - not trying to steal your thunder!
When it first came out, my two friends and I went to watch it in theater. As soon as I realized we were the only people in the theater, I knew we were in for some epic shlock
To be honest I rewatch this movie a lot. I get similar feeling to the original jurassic park in my nostalgia buttons
i guess i'm in the minority that really enjoyed this .i watched this movie for the first time and played doom 3 around the same time so i felt like they nailed what they were going for. if they tried to make a doom movie based on any game besides 3 it would be like the deleted scenes from event horizon or a snuff film lol.
It's more the original two games are like action movies with the non-action scenes cut out. There's room to shove a plot in there, though adding additional characters is a must(you might be able to get away with Dooomguy talking to himself, but I wouldn't count on it).
I always like this movie to.
Not the minority. Most people enjoyed the movie, it's fun. It's just that a small group of loud purists hates the fact it is called "doom".
I’m even happy for reuploads. ^__^ can’t get enough possum
Here's the thing I'd rather watch this one doom movie A THOUSAND TIMES then doom annihilation.
Yeah it's a fun stupid sci fi action horror if you turn your brain off and don't think of it in the context of DOOM.
Idgaf the delivery for the line "she boys" lives rent free in my head. Still gets a giggle out of me
Three she boys! 😂
Maggot. With an an f.
Same. The motorboat is the best part.
24:35 Not to be nitpicking but in the Doom universe, monsters can both come out of Hell themselves OR take over human bodies and mutate them. Undead UAC marines are literally the first enemies you see in the original Doom. Hell is more of a force than it is a specific form; The flaming skulls spawning from Hell might once have been real human skulls or they're just 'made up' by Hell itself. (Which still means her assumption is wrong, of course)
Why was the foot on the police officer shoulder in Super Mario Bro?
It worked as a action-horror film, but not as a doom adaption, and that's the problem. The fact that the Rock turned out to be a villain was a nice twist anyways. I enjoyed the film when it came out, flaws and all.
It was essentially an 80's style action movie. Back then the majority of the action movies were like this stupid. If you can accept this it was an ok movie. Not a Doom movie though. The references were eyeroll inducing even back then, even though me and my friends were Doom fans.
@TheresNoFreeUsername That's what I meant, It's a decent action horror flick that's a fun romp but it's nothing really special. Taking hell out of doom was bone headed idea.
Fun fact: this movie was actually supposed to basically be live action Doom 3. Hellspawn, demonic portals and everything. But the original director had to drop out or got dropped for this other guy who was a super Christian and felt wrong making a movie about demons so he tried to make it resident evil instead.
What could be more Christian than killing demons? I swear, religious people are so dumb.
Thats not funny, thats not....
@@BishopGantryI said fun not funny
As a "super Christian" myself: If you can't do the job, don't promise to do it and then do something else.
@@unimpartialobserver I'm not a Christian but honestly, making a movie about killing demons seems like it would be a movie Christians would want to make. I mean what's more holy than putting down the Devil's army right?
I never actually disliked this movie, I thought it was perfectly serviceable as it was. It was definitely not a good movie, but it was entertaining enough for what you go in expecting. You know what you're going to get, the acting is..what it is for proto-Super Famous Rock and Karl Urban. I'd rather watch this movie 20 times than watch something made in the last decade with maybe less than 10 exceptions. The main memory of this movie that I have has nothing to do with the actual movie haha. I just specifically remember I bought it with my roommates and our girlfriends in college when I first moved out in my early 20's. I don't know why I remember that so well as a memory, but that's just something we would do in the mid 2000's...got with your girl and your friends, go to Blockbuster and buy used or rent a movie. I'm not going to explain it, because it's one of those 'if you know, you know' type of things; it's not something that can be explained to someone born in the 90's or later. Maaaybe I can see someone born in the EARLY 90's, but ya, like I said if you know, you know.

Truth be told, it's absurd that the original video was taken down, despite it being fair use. Just goes to show that laws aren't respected, or favour the big companies
Trust me when I say the new wave of postmodern hollywood movies will make us look back at the bad movies in the past and say Hey, that wasn't so bad!
I have a couple of thoughts about the movie:
1. I think that is a decent Aliens/1st Resident Evil movie ripoff, and The twist of The Rock being The Final Villain Boss of the movie instead of the Hero is probably the most interesting his career ever got.
2. I Wonder if after seeing the reception to this Karl Urban understood that fans want fidelity towards the source so he was okay with never taking the helmet off in Dredd.
Bro ... Karl urban was in the Lord of the rings. He understands respecting the source material.
Wonder why he could be a villain then but not now
@@Air_Serpent at the beginning of his acting career he was obviously trying to find his niche, remember he also made Southland Tales around this time, I don’t see Present Rock doing that.
It's unfair that a massive corporation use the copyright to try and silent 1 person with an opinion
I remember reading rumors of a Do0m movie back in the '90s. The usual gaming magazines: PC Gamer, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Diehard Gamefan, and Gamepro. Legend had it (at the time) that they wanted Arnie to play Do0mguy. I remember thinking, at the time, that Michael Biehn or Tom Berenger should play Do0mguy since Do0mguy lo0ks like the two of them combined (leaning more toward Tom Berenger).
Note: One detail that this movie incorporates that's authentic to the original Do0m is Do0mguy assaulting and killing a superior officer for ordering his tro0ps to fire on civilians.
9:29 Maybe he should take his glove off first?
14:28 There's a trope even worse than that one. It's when a character gets a minor cut on their finger and then stick their finger in their mouth like a wee-little kid (something we all learn not to do when we're wee-little kids).
15:41 Sewer level: 976

36:19 G36 combo sights suck. The scope/iron sights combo is better.
Shame this had to be re-uploaded but hey, gives me an excuse to watch it again, also seeing Possum with the toilet paper brings me back
This movie grew on me. The protagonists are a group of marines, as opposed to the one doom guy. The original games didn't have much in the way of story, so this movie took more inspiration from the 3rd game, probably the bravo team you are supposed to save.
I hesitated and didn’t die once because a Walmart employee knocked a heavy ceramic plant pot off a top shelf and it shattered to pieces. Had I not hesitated, my head would’ve been split open. 😂
You went Atomic Ultra instincts on that pot.
R you not able to show small clips of movies anymore? This was all you did was show pics of the movie with the audio of the movie over it. I hate how RUclips ignores their own fair use laws and force great review RUclipsrs such as yourself to barely show clips of the movie
YT is trash but sadly it's popular trash so they can do whatever they want and not suffer any consequences.
26:20, the fight scene of destroyer against hell knight is actually good. You did it dirty deliberately. Look at the scene again. He uses two pipes. One, to hit him, then he drops that pipe to pick the bigger pipe to trap him.
And he dies in the end because this time he falls uncontrollably, unlike the first time where he was conscious enough to actually fall and still manage to save his head from hitting the ground.
“Whoa slow down there Samurai Jack.. you tryna wake up Godzilla?” 😂🤣🥲
I don't know if the audio recording was entirely useless. It made it clear they were dealing with something threatening and violent and not just some computer error
"We need HELP! We're dying up here! There's MONSTERS!"
"Are you high? Again? Seriously, this is the third time this mo--"

This isn’t a Doom movie, it’s a fun, cheesy, sci-if action flick that I absolutely love. The premise is actually very interesting. Had they not slapped the “Doom” label on it and just embraced it as it’s own story, things would’ve gone a lot better.
This , should have just been a generic syfy movie about humanity's origins on earth , like we was on mars first till the atmosphere sputtered and we moved to earth with the ark thing
Well the thing is this movie was supposed to be Doom 3: The Movie. Like all the way. Problem is the original director was replaced with a super Christian who revised it to be Resident Evil in space.
@@sorrenblitz805 I did not know that. That explains a lot lol
@@sorrenblitz805 The irony is, you would think a true believer Christian who believes in the existence of devils and demons would be cool with a movie where humans fight demonspawn and other monsters. After all, that's what Jesus and all those saints did according to folklore: Driving out demons, slaying dragons etc. Admittedly, Jesus didn't use military armaments, but divine magic. But Jehova already nuked Sodom and Gomorrha in the Old Testament, with some genocides thrown in, his son wanted to be less militaristic in the New Testament sequel.

This game was based on Doom 3 a relatively hated Doom game for having brand new concepts and being survival horror. The rock is supposed to be a parody of Sergeant Thomas Kelly. You're main ally during Doom 3 that eventually turns into the second boss after being possessed. In fact the only people who didn't get parodies were swan and his bodyguard. Little bit of trivia.
I didn't get that the rock was a direct character from doom 3, because I never played doom 3 being a relatively hated doom game for not being doom. Figured he was simply a misdirect of "actual doom guy" instead of urban.
@@tappy8741I would suggest playing Doom 3 just not as a doom game. It really is worth the money. Even though people complain every 5 seconds that the flashlights are not on the gun and there's no duct tape on mars.
@@coastalvan1978 If I liked that sort of game I would. But if I was going to play any modern doom game it would be doom 2016, that would be closest in spirit to the arcadey awesomeness that is the original.
Said it plenty of times before. As a popcorn flick, it's fun. Just slap any other name on it and we're good. "Marines on Mars", "Martian Mutation", "The 24th Chromosome" or some other B+ or A- movie title. Calling it Doom set expectations too high and then the deviation from the source material brought everything crashing down. And that was a mistake that the producers will have to live with. But the chemistry between The Rock and Karl Urban still makes it worthwhile to watch as an action flick.
If you want a solid Doom adaptation, you could adapt the Hugh/Linaweaver novels into a screenplay. The only issue some folks might have with that is SPOILER ALERT
-It does involve aliens near the end-
But the story is still awesome and we'd still get plenty of monster stomping action and hopefully a badass chick that can actually pull off a high and tight without looking like a dude.
You also have Doom 3 which, despite what the haters say, is a great game in its own right and would make a decent foundation for a Doom film. Just imagine the battle in the mess hall with Sarge being adapted to the big screen. You'd have to be a total dunce to screw that one up. And hell, if you could do something with that game, just picture what could be possible with Doom 2016/Doom Eternal?
Or even better, just stick to the mindless ultra-violence of OG Doom and sprinkle in a little bit of lore here and there. Like literally just add text screens and you'd still get a better Doom adaptation than what we got in 2005.
But the bottom line is: without a passionate (and competent) staff, we'd probably just end up with another Doom: Annihilation and yet another blemish on the history of the most legendary franchise in the history of the FPS genre.
I give this movie 8\10 becaues I the action scene, characters,music,Cgi , and the story over all.
They cast actors all the time for no other reason than their ethnicity and to turn it into a joke nowadays.
Sweet, ive been waiting for this reupload
The teleporter is an ark cause instead of csrrying animals to safety... it carrys humans to danger...
Its a irony...
7:28 there grudge is talked about, it's because she was part of the team that reopened the dig site that there parents died at when he wanted it to remained closed. Her excuse was they where gonna open it anyway
I think if it wasnt called Doom or in anyway trying to be tied to the game series it actually would of been a halfway decent action scifi flick.
But it tried to be a game tie in and with it carried a lot of expectation from the community of Doom fans, who you DO NOT wanna peeve off.
First person scene was really cool though
These guys have been loyal to a franchise for almost 30 years now. You promise something Doom to them, you better deliver. Good thing 2016 and Eternal were so good.

The only reason the people of Pompeii are preserved is because of the shit that covered them and killed them otherwise it literally never happens.
Being based in the most controversial Doom game, made the movie dead before it started.
The stock footage of pigs was way better than the film
The nano wall does make sense. They explain the idea is that the wall is supposed to keep out any biological material that they deem unsafe. Considering that the company was doing off the books biological experiments with aliens makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that later in the movie one of the monsters chaces them into the infirmary, and the way the stop it is by making the wall solid after it partially passes through. Though by their own explanation the monster shouldn't have been able to pass through in the first place, as that was the point of the nano wall to begin with...to act as a bio filter.
8:20 ... Why does he have three names? Japanese people don't use middle names.
Putting Dwayne on the cover was false advertising.
They made him look like the good guy.
Maybe now in hindsight but back in 2005 it was clear he wasn't the hero. Doom 3 was the current release and we all knew he was playing the Sergeant who goes evil in the game. The press stuff at the time claimed the movie to be faithful to the game so I knew he was the bad guy.
It aged like wine considering now the Rock refuses to play the bad guy
What are they afraid people are going cone here to experience the movie? This is a review which means they are actually attempting to silence their critics.
The second one they woked it up
Quick.
The theme is that unchecked science is bad. They reflect this by having the hero choose to become a marine and not a scientist. He still needs his sister to transform however, showing that science with a purpose is good. As opposed to science for sciences sake.
At least that's what I always got out of it.
He thinks he's evil because he chose to become a marine: a killer. He fears he is like his friend and commanding officer, who just shot his own subordinate dead without a second thought.
The reveal is that he is indeed still good, and that being a soldier doesn't make you evil. With a little contrast between the kid getting support from Sarge, who kills him for perceived treachery, and Grim's sister who believes in and supports him.
Sort of a scientist alone and soldiers alone can be evil, but good people working together with their difference can overcome.
I always found it to be an important and complex moral that wasn't perfectly executed when put on film.
I thought it was interesting that Goat is the other one who doesn't actively turn ON them after he's turned. His bad behavior is only really understood as *morally* wrong from his religious perspective (because in many Christian interpretations, self-mutilation is considered disrespectful to the point of sin); and in the end, he retains enough of his moral compass to self-terminate rather than be a danger to those around him.
My favorite part is the guy who played the creepy bastard who has been a victim in the first part of Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and was in Rob Zombie's 31 as main bad guy
Why did the goblin turn on the stove?
To get that woman foot off the police officer shoulder.
@12:37 To be fair... The Marines are fine recruiting those kinds of people NOW. They did when I was in the Marines anyways lmao.
Doom literally just has a few of things that if you just stick to them you can easily make a doom movie because even the original creator of the doom game said he believes stories in games doesn't matter it just has to be fun
So basically the only thing you need for a doom movie is a super strong protagonist who doesn't give a fuck about his enemies
And demons for him to rip up with guns and a chainsaw
I dont understand how they keep messing it up

I love that Possum went through the painstaking process of replacing all of the movie footage with other images and videos.
Great work.
But I will admit: this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s almost adorable how dumb it is. And, unlike with Annihilation, it’s evident that some care and attention to detail went into the movie (using Doom 3 enemy designs, trying to make the BFG look powerful, and general set design looking somewhat like Doom 3 levels).
I give it two demonic possessions out of a garbage fire.
I remember an old sketch about a movie called "Violence The Movie". No plot, no dialogue. Just 90 minutes of some bearded guy killing things. Just make a Doom movie like that in the style of Hardcore Henry.

God damn it, it sucks that you had to reupload it but at least I still have the original upload downloaded myself. 😉
Considering that they didn’t have an actual story in the games besides Doom Guy being the grandson of the guy from Wolfenstein and that his bunny was killed by demons and that’s what drove him over the edge, they still did pretty bad.
Like even with the limited background they still messed it up, even Doom 3 has a better storyline and it had a demo for Xbox on the dvd.
Who knows, maybe one day we’ll have a good Doom movie but so far the movies (yes movies) have been bad, at least this one is dumb enough to be bad but good in a Rifftrax kind of way.
This review was great, I'll rewatch it several times just like before

I have soft spot for this movie. On my first watch I was having a rotten time, feeling mighty bad, and when it became a first person shooter…it was one of the most delightful, ridiculous things I’d ever seen. I laughed and laughed.
3:08 - The Steve Buscemi knock-off one... The main problem was that there was NOTHING from the game in the movie. Apart from that it was ok
I saw this movie in 2005 at theaters and was super-pissed off- the first time I've ever felt rage after seeing a movie. And I saw Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, and Alone in the Dark at theaters! Such a disgraceful adaptation of the source material. I especially hate how the filmmakers replaced demons and hell dimension with the extra chromosome. So stupid!
