Escapre from NY meets Resident Evil meets Excalibur..this movie is everywhere. It is the same old same old..but Marshall has a good time it has the Road Warrior car chases....its fun....

Doomsday is a film that wants you to have fun watching it. What it does is provide a solid two hours of entertainment. It's gory, over-the-top and action packed. It will take you from humorous scenes, to action scenes, with even a couple touching scenes sprinkled on top. It has issues, and is highly derivative from other post-apocalyptic films and other 1980's films. It keeps up the pacing it begins with, it doesn't get dull, and if you let it, the time will fly by while you watch it.

Do not eat while watching.

much praised armored vehicles could not endure molotov cocktails and arrows. lol. every moment of the movie is full of such non-sense

A mixture of elements from all film genres is thrown into Doomsday, a gory and overly violent post apocalyptic sci-fi homage. It respectfully borrows and divides its plotline from Mad Max and Escape from New York. This intelligent mash-up of films combines to make a fun, bloody, illogical, shameless and nonsensical laughfest of a film. Just turn your brain off and enjoy it as it is.

Wow, what a mess.

This is a weird jumble of things. Trying to be a zombie flick, but not really. A Mad Max look-a-like, but not really. A story of knights and medievil stuff, but not really. It gave me a couple of laughs, sure, but it simply felt like it was trying to find its identity throughout the entire film, and failing to do so.

2/5

felt like 3 movies jammed into 1

A shameless rip-off of equal parts The Road Warrior, Escape From New York, and (so I'm told) Excalibur that ultimately works so long as you're down for some relatively mindless entertainment. I suppose if you're going to rip off other films, you should probably pick great ones; this film is a great, fun example of that mash-up mindset.

poor direction marred what could have been a great flick

So someone came up with a plot for an FPS video game and made it into a two hour movie. It's like a nerd-gasm of cliches; so in the end the only thing that really makes it watchable is to see how many more high school nerd interests they can fit into a movie. We have everything from zombies, to Mad Max, to medieval knights, to car chases. McDowell, however, is as usual stupendous. What the hell is he doing in this movie?

Gory violent post apocalyptic schlock that was done better by other films. There are shades of 28 days later, road warrior, and other films here that it liberally rips off but overall it's not completely terrible. The medieval armored soldiers living in a commune is pretty campy though.

This movie is adorable. Horrible, yes, but adorable. I don't think Neil Marshall knew what kind of movie to make so he made three movies at the same time, all of them bad. Of course, it also has the most glaringly obvious product placement, which is de rigueur at this point.

so disappointing after the greatness of "The Descent".

Starts off promising, but every twenty minutes the movie reaches a new stupidity-level that makes what came before seem sensible by comparison. Horrible editing in the action scenes will drain all the fun out of them, despite some nicely done gore effects.

hilarious and awesome, a must see!

I don't know, whether it was unintentionally funny but the punks totally made my day. Better turn off your brain though.

Imagine Escape from LA performed by the Cirque du "Sol"eil (see what I did there?) featuring a punked out Craig Conway shaking his booty to "Good Thing" by the Fine Young "Cannibals" (see what they did there?). Now picture a renaissance faire complete with a fiberglass castle, Malcolm McDowell, AND a wizened scribe to boot. What is that I hear? The soft whisperings of a 'w'? The tintinnabulations of a 't'? The fleeting flatulence of an 'f'? Yes, I know what that spells. Doomsday.

What the hell did I just watch?

People liked this, apparently? All I saw was a clumsy mix of already existing films with no entertainment inbetween. Not as fun as Dog Soldiers but not as boring as The Descent.

Top badass moment? Let's go for the topical one of Prime Minister John Hatcher doing the 'right thing' when he realises he's got the Reaper virus. How many politicians can you say that about? (Doing the 'right thing' I mean, not catching deadly viruses.) It was certainly quicker than going to all the bother of seeing the Queen to tell her you're resigning. 0 cats and 4 decapitations. (There might have been 5 actually, but I sort of forgot to keep count.)
