Review of Doomsday (2008) by Oxana — 24 Aug 2014
An action-packed movie with exploding scenes - and bodies (the latter at least in the unrated version). It is almost ridiculous how some of the bloody scenes are constructed, but even though they are there just for the sake of splattering blood all over the screen, it fits the generally cruel and raw atmosphere of "Doomsday".
The characters are given room to introduce themselves, and even though there isn't much growth in them, that isn't necessary since most of their screen time comes to an bloody end.
As far as the plot goes, there are some things that worked, and other that should have been worked on some more. At times it is more about "explaining" than allowing people to figure it out for themselves. That does not make the movie a bad one, though, because the good aspects of the plot and story work well; the mission remains the same despite all the distractions and obstacles.
The reasoning behind the main views of the movie are slightly shadowed, and in a way nothing unexpected. Still this seemed like a rather fresh take on an idea of people left stranded, abandoned by the rest of the world.
