The game had a story?!
10 enter room
20 monsters appear
30 jump and go 'arghhh'
40 kill monsters
50 goto 10
then there was 4Gb of textures.
That's one of the best descriptions for DoomIII I think I've ever heard
Plus the rock is in it.. Theres your first hint it's going to suck..
he was in "Be Cool" which was hilarious
he was in "Walking Tall" which is one of the better action movies I've seen, and also made me laugh
and he was in "The Rundown" which was also pretty funny, and very good
granted, "The Scorpion King" was bad, but you've got to do one bad movie in your career
okay, fine, vince vaughn was also great in that movie.
But anyways, the movie sucked, the rock was really good in it, and I don't think having The Rock in a movie is a bad thing.
However, back on topic - doom the movie looks like complete crap. Aren't we all past the "pseudo-technical super flashy interface with lots of lines and moving numbers with scientific sounding terms like "dna mapping sequence initiated" computer thingy" thing?
And, oh, aren't we past the "catchy yet descriptive nicknames for all the squad members in the elite force" thing?
And the "lets have a tough guy say cool little phrases to show off what a badass he is, like 'say my name, baby'"
I think my kids are gonna love this movie.....
He does look a little like the character in doom3 though. I think it's the hair line
I am NOT a big fan of the rock.
I saw him on the Daily Show one night. John Stewart was like (John had either done his homework, or actually PLAYED Doom) "Doom huh? Do you get to shoot plasma guns?" and the rock replied with "Actually in the movie we are introducing a new gun called the BFG, if you can guess what that stands for". I mean what a complete ****ing n00b. Could you at least PLAY the game to get into character, rather than looking like a complete a$$ on national television?
Be cool sucked (aside from Vince Vaughn's part of course)
Ill have to check out Walking Tall.
But, I digress...
What I think is interesting is that the site with the preview has a synopsis of the movie posted, and it sounds more like the game than the preview does.
It's poorly written, but it certainly sounds like the DOOM that we all know.
I'm so pissed that they don't have John Romero's head on a stick in a secret room at the end of the movie!!
Good one!
ok you go see it first and give us a report!
I highly recommend the hi-def version here! ..."no one gets out alive!"
WindowsMediaHD or 720p or whatever the hell it is, damn that looks soo nasty, looks better than when I watch DVDs on my computer
(perhaps thats an obvious statement or something im not sure cause im not really a videophile, but I benchmark how sweet a video looks against DVDs on the computer cause its usually pretty high quality)
1) The human genome has nothing to do with Doom.
2) The atmosphere is all wrong.
3) Too much ****ing dialogue in the trailer alone.
4) FPS perspective was annoying.
5) Since when did H&K have a G36 derivative in Doom?
6) WTB weapons that look like their in-game counterparts.
I dig these movies... I liked Wing Commander, I enjoyed many movies that were based on video games. I like simplistic movies that are not too engaging, I wanna be that guy who stops thinking while watching a movie and just drools over CG and explosions.... WHY?! Becuase if I want comething in-depth and get my mind rolling, I'll read a ****ing book! Which is enjoyable as well BTW, I highly recomend it. But movies to me are supposed to be the "let go and just have fun" type thing. There are so many movies I enjoyed that many didn't.
For example. When I came out of Starship troopers, almost everyone I know said that movie sucked! But for some reason when I talk to them now some think the movie was "ok..." or "awsome". WTF?! Change your minds? Same goes for others.
BTW I like the Rock, that dude's pretty awsome. He's my Arnold replacement, I hope to see him in a future Aliens Vs. Predator movie
