well, the monsters look quite true to form which is cool.. might actually be alright in a sort of resident evil kind of way :] Cool plasma gun, and I loved the over-the-top massive muzzle flashes
i reckon its pretty silly to expect anything big from it, but it looks like an alright 'switch off brain and watch some guys with guns shoot monsters' deal. what else would a doom movie ever be?
DO you think you could eliminate some of those ?s Rockstar, they're messing up the formatting of the page and its annoying having to scroll across just to read people's posts.
About halfway through theres something that looks like a small Hell Knight... maybe an upright Pinky. I'm pretty sure its not another imp - its head isn't the right shape.
Aaanyway, I've been defending this movie which will probably be completely horrible, since it was first announed so I'm not about to give up now... besides, it seems to be a prerequisite of previews these days to make the movie look much much worse than it actually is, so you never know - this might just turn out to be... ok.
Looks like Doom to me - well, the corridor/monster/bathroom bits do. I'm not expecting gripping drama or profound plotline, and lets face it, Doom is hardly character-driven. I think with my expectations I'll probably enjoy it. I like a high budget B-grade blast now and then
I look forward to seeing this. I'm no movie critic, though....I pretty much like everything.
The Governator passed the torch to The Rock in "The Rundown". The Rock IS the new Arnie! Personally, I think he does as good of a job as Arnie did in the same kind of setting.
Every movie that features weird monsters nowadays follows the Alien formula: buncha people go into a place, unaware that monster(s) are there, and then it starts eating them, and then they have to accomplish the task of getting out with their heinies intact, and (frequently) blow the place up.
Even a plotless killfest like the original Doom story could distinguish itself from this cliche in one respect. If all the Alien stuff happens in the first fifteen minutes, everybody except Dwayne dies horribly, and the rest of the flick involves the Rock fighting hordes of weirdo beasts in an effort to save his own dang self.
But it won't.
As for my personal opinion of Mr. Johnson, he has my respect. He's the scion of two pro wrestling families, and if he's really the warm, personable guy he appears to be, then he has done well not to let his own ego get tragically large. I don't think he's ever set out to be anything other than an entertainer, so he'd probably be the first to admit that he's not an 'actor' as much as a 'movie star'. And as long as he is aware of this, that's not bad.
Personally I think considering what I, and everyone else I imagine, was expecting this film to turn out like, I think it's doing pretty damn well.
Ofcourse there are parts where you could scream OMG RESIDENT EVIL!, but really I think the resi evil film scenes also resembled doom 3 quite a bit in terms of clean tech metal.
I have higher hopes for the film than I originally had to begin with, but it's got a lot to live up to and I doubt it will deliver, still may be a gud watch.
Alright, I've been asking this on two other forums so far. Is that the Starcraft scream at the end of the trailer? It sure sounds like it to me, but I'm not sure. Might reinstall just to check it out.
Also, it has better lighting than Doom 3, so it's automatically better.
I take it no one realises that the Rock isn't in fact the star of the show. Carl Urban, who's a decent enough actor - he was good as Eomer in Lord of the Rings and while I've not seen it, I hear he's alright in the Bourne Supremacy as well - is playing the marine (Grimm, I believe).

[/ QUOTE ]Its definitely a stock sample (or if it isn't, it sure as hell sounds like it). Its known as the Nutrigrain guy scream in Australia.
starcraft scream? no, that scream predates starcraft by years. I think it's becoming a running gag in the sound design world, similar to the teapot in highpoly 3d, or the lensflare/dropshadow photoshop kungfu-ery. I know i heard it used in the old lucas arts games circa 1993-5 (like Dark Forces) a lot.
yeah that scream has a actual name to it, that i can't rember its used in lots of movies as kind of a inside joke, it was in starship troopers, and alone in the dark (horrible movies but i've watched the making of extras recently, and both mentioned it, by name)
i have no idea why you guys are hardcore ughing, this movie may not be good, but from what i've seen so far it looks liek it has a chance, i've seen nothing in the trailers that makes me think it will be bad. (i still think it will be bad, but thats just my pessimistic side to movies)
and compairing it to the rez evil movie.. If you paid attention.. the rez evil movies were 10 x more like doom the game, than it was like the rez evil games,
rocks a decent actor, i like the fact that they didnt use cg monsters, i fucking hate cg monsters, such a pet peve of mine.
my hope is that the movie will not be bad, my prediction based on no actual evidence, is that it will be bad
blankslatejoe beat me to it a bit, its been in TONS of games and movies, im pretty sure its part of some public-domain sound collection of some sort, or maybe it was just on a popular sample cd or something.

then again its going to be just monsters popping out and scaring you, EXACTLY LIKE DOOM 3 WOAH.
No, Mr. Rock, you really aren't.
"We're going in hot!"

Ahh, who am I kidding...it's going to suck.
But then again I will see it some way or the other.
were demons from Hell too controversial for "The Rock" ©WWE (or has his WWE contract ended and we're supposed to call him Dwayne Johnson now?)
Also, kiwi starring - very yay
it looks horribly cheap
id still do the blonde chick tho

I love the end "Sir you okay?" -- Yeh, cause those looked like human eyes, slanted with blue skin around.
