Lost Viking Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 watching the trailer I was kinda thinking the same thing... Quote
TKev Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I haven't played the game. Does this have anything to do with the storyline of it? Quote
Wolf04 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, Doom has a storyline. Basically, some experiment goes horribly wrong and the gates to hell are opened, demons raining in and you have to survive and defeat the boss in hell. The movie will suck and hardly ressembles the game. I heard the events won't take place on Mars but on an alien planet far into the future and the demons won't be coming out of hell, there goes my hope of seeing hell. (NOT that I would want to see it in real life...I'm a very religious person). Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 From the crappy trailer we saw, the movie will be as bad as Resident Evil, if not worse !!! A movie like that needs to be rated R for it to be viewable !!! Quote
Khorne Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah, The Rock doesn't even resembles the guy from Doom. In the movie those guys seem to work as a team, but as far as I know he shot creatures back to hell on his own. @Wolf: When I played Doom I and II, I never noticed that storyline, but oh well, I was younger then, too, and didn't understand English that much :-D (although I did understand much, not bad eh for a Belgian kid of 5 or 6?).

xwingyoda Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Compared to what it could have been the answer is a definite NO Sarg ;) I just watched trailer 2 and its better because of the First Person View !!! Yeahhhhhhh that looks neat (at least something cool about the movie!!). Quote
KimT Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 It surely seems like this movie is bad........but this is no reason for mocking great movies like Resident Evil and Resident Evil II - Apocalypse. They had a lot in common with the computer game. Which can't really be said for this Doom feature. *devil* KimT Quote

Concerning Doom, the storyline is crap all the way, thats for sure !!!!!! However, all the First Person view make those scenes really close to the game !!!! RE 1 and 2 are dull !!!, really dull. The game can be freaky (the movie is definitly not), it has a kind of sticky, heavy atmosphere (was there one at all in the movies ??) and its extremelly violent !!!! The movie offers nothing close to the game !!!! The real problem with adapting hardcore videogames is the MPAA rating !!! Really, to have an acceptable adaptation, it needs to be NC-17 (which only porn movies have). Please stop the massacre of adapting something that cannot be well adapted !!!! Quote
KimT Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Actually I think they did an acceptable job on RE 1 and RE 2. You have the setup (umbrella megablocks up = zombies) and a lot of action. They've even tried to add some of the plots that are part of the games. The sinister actions of the Umbrella Corporation. I agree that it is difficult to change a violent computer game to the big screen and often it doesn't work. This, however, is not the situation with RE 1 and RE 2. But You're entitled to have a different opinion and I guess we'll never agree on this. But You'll have to agree that the female hero is quite yummy *satis* *wub* KimT Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 I agree Kim that they did an acceptable job on the RE series ;) The screenplay is well written concerning the story of the Umbrella corporation, and I really liked the fact that our female hero doesn't know who she is at first !!!!! One amazing thing for the first installment was the score written by Marylyn Manson !!!! He did an amazing job sticking to the atmosphere of the movie !!! Its just I wanted something a lot more graphic and violent... Oh well... Take the dog scene for instance, as soon as they jump, we hear gun shots and thats it, as if they just edited the whole scene !!! And Kim, when you say that the female hero is "quite yummy", that is an understatement my friend *satis* ;) One other reason why its hard to adapt such games is that the hero in the games are usually alone, lost somwhere and having to kill a lot of monsters to survive. You cannot do that in a movie, you have to have a group of individuals, which is not really proper to the situation of the game. Yes, a game is intended to be played generally alone, whereas a movie is destined to be viewed by groups, hence the discrepency !!!! Indeed, a movie having a lone hero would not work well... Quote
KimT Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 I have to agree that there's a slight problem with the fact that the hero is always alone in the games. This gives RE 2 a few problems.... It didn't quite work for them to add the extras to the story. But wasn't there a RE game that added several NPCs? Not that it got that good a review :| Anyways I never liked those Doom games....I'm more into HalfLife and CounterStrike - now that's action HARDCORE.....Hope they'll never make CounterStrike The Movie ("Terrorist Down") :'( KimT Quote
