Doom; The game that had millions glued to their computers becomes a movie
The trend of turning popular video games into movies continues… The game that had millions of generation x teenagers glued to their computer screens for months on end (myself included) is making the move from the computer screen to the big screen. Doom the movie will be released theaters across the country on October 21st.
Watching the trailer I again felt that odd sense of déjà vu... Haven't we seen this one before? Maybe we just lived it for two or three months in the 90s. Well at the very least this movie holds the promise of "strong violence/gore".
synopsis (courtesy of the official Doom movie website):
Something has gone wrong at a remote scientific research station on Mars. All research has ceased. Communication has failed. And the messages that do get through are less than comforting. It's a level 5 quarantine, and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad - hardened Marines armed to the teeth with enough firepower to neutralize any enemy...or so they think.
The research being done at Olduvai station has unwittingly opened a door, and all hell has broken loose. A legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurks behind every wall and stalks the countless rooms and tunnels of the facility, killing what few people remain.
Sealing off the portal to Earth, Sarge, Reaper and their team must use every weapon at their disposal - and some they find along the way - to carry out their orders: nothing gets out alive.
Release Date: October 21st, 2005
MPAA Rating: R for strong violence/gore and language
You can watch the trailer on the official Doom movie website
