So last night Nicholas and myself went to see DOOM in theatres. Having only watch him play Doom and not myself, as well as we both love movies, I wanted to know what your take was on it.
Here are my ratings, and I might give reason into them.
Plot:
/ 5
I gave it a decent rating because the story line had a mixture of things which I personally enjoy, comedy, drama, and action. It gave a mixture of personal relationships with allow you to connect with a few of the characters.
Acting:
/ 5
I thought there was some serious lack of acting. I do not mind 'The Rock' so much, but I thought his acting and those of his fellow crew mates could have been better brought out. I saw some very good acting from the one warrior's sister. I did, however, like how 'The Rock' did play his part to a T, but then again, there really is not a lot of acting when it comes to action, fighting, and death.
Special Effects:
/ 5
This was one of my favorite parts of this movie. They were able to incorperate alot of the inner game graphics into the movie, including some of the beasts which you see in the game. The graphics on some of the guns was well done and reminded me of the beginning videos Tom Clancey has. There was the one gun shooting graphic in the movie which was very dramatic and I enjoyed it. They did an extremely well job mixing both human and computer animation on that movie. The only reason I did not give it a 5/5 was because of the First Person view which I think took away from the over all graphic feeling. It seemed more fake and drawn aside the rest of the movie, however, it was quite the attention grabber. Made your heart race like the first few competition games I played with Ravenshield and Ghost Recon.
Scare Factor:
/ 5
I liked the movie and the graphics, they added the right touch to the beasts and the movie had you sitting on your seat at some points (well, for me at least).
Sound Track :
/ 5
Awesome soundtrack. Had a great mixture of music which I like to hear, however, I do not think they added enough music.
I wanted to know how everyone else who saw it thinks of it ... and if you read this without seeing the movie, do you plan to see it?
I can honestly say that Nicholas and I enjoyed the movie. Was it worth the 21.95 we paid to see it? Hmm ... Borderline yes. I was happy to see it. However I do believe that if I was not a gamer the movie would have been a waste of my money and time. The movie only really seems to reach out to a specific genre of people.
