The last 15 minutes or so of this movie where the camera turns to first-person and Karl Urban and The Rock randomly start fighting is right about where this movie goes downhill for me. I mean I still don't understand why The Rock's character all of a sudden wants to kill John Grimm (Karl Urban) before he's even turned into a monster, or that the previous guy to get bit on his neck was near-death before eventually dying and the Rock appears perfectly fine. Nonetheless, the rest of the movie for me was quite entertaining. The tension that builds as you anticipate the next attack by the monsters, and the enjoyment me and my brother had putting bets on who would die next only made this experience better. Overall, if you can try to look past the absurdity of the last 15 minutes and you like a good ole' fashioned pick 'em off movie like I do then give it a shot. Also, I recommend watching it with someone and betting which character dies next and where. Trust me it's fun.

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

Movie Review: "Doom" (2005)After "Super Mario Bros." (1993) and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001) comes the third adaptation of an major video game phenomenon. "Doom", the movie based on first to be computer game for PC tower/desktops released in 1993, directed by professional cinematography and director of "Exit Wounds" (2001) Andrzej Bartkowiak gets a major motion picture enterprise of a 60 Million Dollar licensed and packed by producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura for an Universal Picture release due on October 21st 2005 just in time for an Halloween holiday at the movie houses.Nevertheless the on-time release did not help to make it a hit at the box office. Even so publicly known personnel has been engaged with professional wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, performing solidly in one of his first leading roles as Sarge, second by highly agile actress Rosamund Pike, giving face to mars scientist Samantha Grimm, plus side-kicking actor Karl Urban as her brother John Grimm. The production value comes along high standard, yet the only one-time 2 and 1/2 minute ego-shooter scene of hardcore encounters, mimicking the full-frontal action gameplay of the original, may want to convince the spectre that there might have been more spectacle at hand, if the screen writing duo Dave Callham & Wesley Strick only gave at least one of the character the chance to meet some space action outside the compound instead of keeping the cast locked up in tiresome tight lab locations and corridors."Doom" can be enjoyed as what is an inactive, undemanding, major turning-point-missing video game adaptation that makes me lean back, squeezing a little smile instead of grabbing the arms of the auditorium's chair in pure excitement or at least terrifying science-fiction terror.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

The Rock is quite far from his Awesome Fast and Furious days but good enough. This movie has some really nice visuals, less use of CGI and more focus and practical effects really shows. I hated the explanation of the origins of the demons, it was unnecessary and wasn't convincing enough for me. This new origin story just made it difficult to see this as a DOOM movie, but its still an alright movie and that fps scene was pretty amazing. This could have been a great DOOM movie if only we would have got The Rock vs Cyberdemon.
