Doom
A team of space marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, led by Sarge, is sent to a science facility on Mars after somebody reports a security breach. There, they learn that the alert came after a test subject, a mass murderer purposefully injected with alien DNA, broke free and began killing people. Dr. Grimm, who is related to team member Reaper, informs them all that the chromosome can mutate humans into monsters -- and is highly infectious.

Waste of time
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
good back-story, and good acting
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I remember walking past an electronics shop back in the 90s, and seeing Doom playing on loop on that machine. It was the sole reason that I moved from an Amiga to a PC, however good the Amiga games machine was in its day.Like many reviewers here, I found the movie okay for sure, and The Rock can carry a movie despite its shortcomings. It had decent amount of one-liners, action, and the first person perspective section was well done.However, I'm still waiting for someone to produce a movie based on the game which is faithful to the content of the game itself.
I was very dissapointed when I saw the movie. It is one big disgrace to the Doom games which are legendary in the gaming community. Maybe I am talking this way because I don't like Dwayne Johnson, but I know what Doom was all about.. and this movie isn't. Feels unfinished, looks unfinished, bad acting.. all summed up 4/10
*Spoiler/plot- Doom, The Movie, 2005. A frantic call for help from a Martian remote research station sens a team of mercenary Marines into action. Their leaders descend to the Olduvai Govt station, where they find a legion of nightmarish creatures. Once there these Marines must use an arsenal to get out alive.*Special Stars- Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, Dwayne Johnson, Dexter Fletcher.*Theme- Teamwork wins battles.*Trivia/location/goofs- Film promotes the popular self person POV shooter computer game.*Emotion- Sadly due to the overt way the camera frame shows & tells the plot, this film suffers from believably and therefore any horror. Kidda a shallow gimmicky film of little watch ability. A shame.*Based On- Base on the hugely popular video game.
OK, let me explain. This movie is the best video game movie ever made. Not because it's good, but because you will laugh your ass off at at this movie. It tries hard at points to be a gritty version of the DOOM games, like DOOM 3, but it also gets the fun tone of DOOM 1 and 2, and it uses that in some scenes too. the Rock is in this film, WHY?!?!?!?!? He makes this film just a joy to watch. Watch this film if you just want to have a fun 2 hours
