If you thought the 2005 live-action adaptation of Doom starring Dwayne Johnson was bad and were hoping that the new movie in the making, now titled Doom: Annihilation, would be any better, well then I am sorry to disappoint you. The trailer for the movie just dropped and we may already have the contender for worst movie of the year.
Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself below:
There are just so many things wrong about this Doom movie. The visual effects are terrible and feel like they’ve been pulled out of a bad 90s video game. Perhaps even more depressing considering the movie was actually delayed so that they could improve on the visual effects, so I would hate to imagine how bad it was before this. The little bit of acting and dialogue that you get to see here is equally cheesy, but perhaps worst is that it just doesn’t feel like Doom at all. After teasing that the move will try to make up for all the missteps of the previous movie and focus a lot on the Hell sequences, this trailer doesn’t’ back any of that up and doesn’t feel scary at all. Plus, there’s no space marine. What is Doom without our beloved space marine?
However, it’s not just us that thinks this trailer is bad as the internet is also throwing its vitriol at the trailer, with even Bethesda saying that they want nothing to do with the film. I guess if the producers were hoping the video game company might give them some support in promoting the move can look elsewhere. It seems no one wants to take responsibility for this movie.
Doom: Annihilation is scheduled for a direct to video release in the next few months, though it’s not clear if that will still happen or if they will perhaps clean it up it further after all the backlash. Considering it is supposed to be a low budget movie, I doubt they would be willing to spend any more cash on this monstrosity.
That being said, it could easily end up being one of those so bad it’s good movies. No, just kidding, it looks just straight up bad.

This one looks beyond terrible though.

Give the rights to Ilya Naishuller or maybe George Miller and MAKE IT ABOUT THE DOOMSLAYER. Spend your budget on gore and satanic themes and make it about carnage, violence, demons and absolutely nucking futs logic defying action. We are due again for a protagonist with no development and no flaws, aside from the fact that both Mars and Hell are void of soap to wash the entrails off of his fucking blood-drenched fists of death and destruction.

does anyone get really hard flashbacks to the OG Resident Evil films or is it just me? (Milla is lyf)

No. My money did mention horrible flashbacks of me abusing it all those years ago though.

Why can’t a studio sit down and make a decent video game based movie for once? Give it a good budget, a decent director, and actors that can, well, act?
OK. Assassin’s Creed, Tomb Raider and even Doom had some pretty decent actors working on it. Alas, I would chainsaw my demon posessed boss for a Doom movie that leaves me as inspired as say, Taken, for example.

Perhaps one day Hollywood will get a game based movie right. Perhaps The Sims.

Never thought I’d say this, but for once I’m glad that Youtube videos are blocked on my work desktop.

Looks like Doom Annihilation is going to be just as awesome as Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Yaaaay….

You mean that one where they find a ninja that can freeze stuff and they only use him to build them a bridge?

Yeah, that was it.
I tried to watch it again recently. I still thought, “Surely it’s not as bad as I remember.”

Sadly, some of my Arnie treasures had the same effect. True Lies, brilliant as it was, now only serves as a reminder of the great that once was.

Next time, try staying awake after 5 minutes. It’ll change the whole movie for you.

I’ve been too busy to watch this so I set aside 90 seconds tonight to do just that… I regret this decision.
OMG that is terrible
