Watch Doomsday For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

From one my absolute directors who brought you the Descent and Centurion - comes this gem. Its really really funny - over the top and typical Neil Marshall super-gory. Rhona Mitra does a great job as the lead and she even has a fairly funny removable eye/spy camera thing going on. In usual Marshall style the leads are all hot and gutsy women and they hold the film up really well. The post-apocalyptic thing has been done to death but this film doesnt take itself seriously and even invokes a bit of social commentary considering that Scotland gets fenced off while Britain remains virus-free. Watch out for the spazzy evil brother and Malcolm McDowell as he king of his kingdom, complete with "gift shop" and "emergency exit" signs on some of the doorways. An absolute classic that will have you cringing and laughing out loud at the same time (was that the intent....?)

Yet ANOTHER lazy, cliched, absolutely pathetic view of the future. As soon as I saw the first punk hairstyle, the whole film was destroyed and all credibility lost. Don't waste your time seeing this as the make up and costume departments, writer, producers and Director all bailed out and couldn't be bothered to use ANY imagination whatsoever. It incenses me beyond belief that nobody involved in this said "NO!...NO MORE PUNK HAIRSTYLES!" Throughout the 1950's, nigh on ALL Sci-Fi movies had spacemen in SILVER outfits. How many astronauts in REALITY who went to the Moon wore silver? EVERYONE in the MAD MAX series of films had bloody silly hairstyles with no explanation whatsoever HOW they cut, blow dried, coloured/dyed, and maintained those cuts in a future without electricity and or dyes or shampoos. It is SO lazy to not even consider (and thereby be unique) how men and women without even hot water could achieve such fashion. It is so stupid! Just look how much the budget was and how much the film made! If only somebody could've used a different way of showing a dystopian world and the people/survivors who inhabit it! I need to lie down and I suggest you all do the same and AVOID this steaming pile of poo from affecting and infecting your brain.

A futuristic action thriller where a team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race. Doomsday is one of those films that have a good concept but it's executed pretty poorly for example the movie doesn't know what it wants to be is it an action film? a survival film? a zombie film? a post apocalyptic film? or a horror film? It mixes so many things together that your head starts hurting after a while you basically go from a bunch of crazy people to knights and infected dudes trying to break inside a building. The acting and the characters are fine but that isn't enough to save the movie. (5/10)

(Originally seen many years ago) Extremely dumb and rather nasty as well, film's like this bring nothing new to cinema, except maybe extra mean spirited violence and themes of cannibalism, but if there are people who find this sort of thing fun, I suppose they will keep making this uninspired, nasty trash. Doomsday is pointless and awful. 0/10
