It is obvious that the mutated gene thingy was caused by Satan's evil craftsmanship. If only they brought a crusafix with them would this battle be easy.
Watched Doom trailer. Realised that it's been done before. Realised it's appealing on the basis of game name. (cough cough *like Final Fantasy*) Realised.......it will SUCK.
And don't ever compare Aliens to Doom,ever. Aliens had tense moments,Doom won't have any. Because the trailer ruined about half of them. I hate trailer that ruin half the 'scares'. Take a hint from Jeepers Creepers; don't show anything on the teaser.
Of course,it's probably easy on the eye so it might be worth 'renting' a year later in case no other good films come out at that time. Like most average films of this type.

Lame, Lame, Lame, Lame.
Why oh why oh **** why can't they just use the storyline of the game? They could make it SUCH a good movie. The key would be to take a tip from aliens and spend the first half of the movie building up the suspense. Then have hell actually break loose halfway through.
They just CANT make a movie about doom without the Doom soldier armor <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

MORE CG MONSTERS PLEASE. The imp... my favorite monster from Doom 3, was hella cool, it was on the ceiling, on the walls, crawling and jumping around n stuff... This just gives me nightmares of an Imp that moves like a human, thinks like a human, and from what i get from the trailer it (atleast to me) has lost some of its reptileness... not cool. If it were up to me, the movie should have been a (conceptwise, not total story, and happenings, not a movie-replica of the game) copy of the Doom 3 game. It was cool, creepy and the monsters... were cool.
And as others i think it should have been more of a horror/scary movie. Not action mixed with chok-cuts.
EDIT: and by the way, to me Aliens was a sucky waste of time, mainly becourse i watched it years after it's release, it just didnt work on me.
God you guys remind of kids who think the first FPS ever invented was GoldenEye. Whatever happened to the original Doom I or II? Those were the fun games!!! I think some of you focus too much on graphics or eye candy or whatever kids these days cream their pants over....
It was complete action, all about killing, killing, and more killing. Made even more fun when you had multiplayer co-op, ctf, dm, whatever. In Doom II, the IMP was pure cannon fodder. Sent in to absorb the shells of your roaring gatling guns while the other ghastly hell-things did their best to crush your stupid head.
WTH makes Aliens a waste of time seeing it many many years after it was done? that movie is timeless ffs. Seriously, what didnt "work" with it? I usually can see from many points of view, but NOT that comment. Gotta agree with Pulse, you suck.
I like how Doom FINALLY acquires a plot with Doom III and now, just when they make a movie based on the game, they just throw that into the nearest trash can, set it on fire, air lift it to houston, strap it to a rocket, take a dump on it, and send it rocketing to the moon.

They could have used a better director though... some how I fear an utterly conformist film will come out, meaning it will have all of the overused and unoriginal plot elements seen in your typical plotless scifi horror movie flick. (the kinds of things that give scifi a bad reputation in my opinion)
Let's be honest here: director & actors are the most important thing. Writers don't have very much power compared to the director. That's just the way it is.
I hope they do a really good job on it. The thing I'll be most critical on is if they don't make it have awesome suspense. The history of games -> films though is far better than films -> games. I think they can make a great film, but I'm very critical and fear I might be disappointed like I was when Phantom Menace came out.
PS: I've heard rumors of a Halo film to be produced by Microsoft but they are looking for a director. Can anyone verify this rumor?

it looks better than other "game to movie" movies. it actually has what an imp and helllknight looks like.
sure its not 100% like the game, but think about it, if it WAS based on the game, it will be a pretty cheesy movie. everyone dies, one lone marine, killing things for 1.5 hours, you think that is good? HELL NO.
