Doom [WS] [Unrated] [Blu-ray] [2005]

Look, Doom is no award winner, but it is one fun, yet flawed, film. Mostly, the only negative I can level against Doom is that it is often FAAARRR too dark. This seems odd, as it appears to be done in the monster scenes, but in those instances where monsters are seen in better light, the special effects seem rather good. At the pricepoint Doom is at, and with the actors involved, (The Rock, Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, and the always entertaining Richard Brake,) it's a fun ride. Those expecting that Doom would somehow break the videogame movie barrier and deliver some transcendant experience need not apply. Doom tries to strike a balance between becoming more than its threadbare source material (what often seems like great logic in a videogame falls way short once it becomes more real,) and keeping it recognizable. It's not always a pretty balancing act, but it works, mostly. If you've never seen Doom, your best option to determine whether you'll enjoy it is to find the first person shooter sequence filmed for the movie. If you watch this and think, "this is ridiculous," there's a good chance Doom isn't for you. If you think, "hey, this is some silly fun," then grab it while Best Buy offers this steelcase at such a low price. You're getting the fun, comic book inspired steelbook, the unrated blu ray, a digital copy, and all the extras included with the special edition DVD at a great price!

The Rock kicks major space booty in this movie. It's a great transition from video games to the big screen. The action did not disappoint and it was well done. A must own.

This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.

The steelbook was damaged. looks like it had been dropped at least once. there was only one left so I did not have the option of taking a different one. I still love the steelbook in my collection though, it looks great!

I know I am in the minority on this one, but I got to say, I love this movie. Fast action, not original, but entertaining enough to enjoy it. Plus, I love the game.

The movie case is really cool and brings nostalgia to those who have seen this movie years ago. Having it in steel book and Blu Ray makes my movie collection even better.

I love the steelbook decorations on this item. Unlike other packaging, it is functional and looks like it will last. The movie itself is great. Karl Urban is fantastic (like always).

Doom is not for everyone. It is good and bad at the same time. It is one of my guilty pleasures.
