"Doomsday" on Sky Premier. A pleasant surprise!

I expected this to be absolute shite, and ended up rather enjoying its silly B-movie nonsense.

It seemed to rip off ideas, themes, scenes and even dialogue from every sci-fi genre going, Aliens, Escape from New York, Mad Max, 28 Days Later, The Warriors, No Escape etc etc but was a laugh anyway, despite the mess.

I liked Neil Marshall's previous efforts, Dog Soldiers and The Descent, but was expecting baaad things from this

Anybody else expect nothing from Doomsday, and ended up enjoying it?

Or did you expect nothing, and got nothing too?

I saw this film at the cinema and loved it too. I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't get it, but as a fan of all the sort of films it paid homage too I thought it was great fun. It's fantastic that this sort of film can still be made in Britain.

 

[Wot Wot]

It was shot in South Africa.

Amazingly you can't shoot a B movie in Scotland for some reason.

 

[Cadence]

It's ridiculous, stupid b-movie nonsense and I bloody love it.

Great film

 

[Ask me..]

Nonsense, it was shot in Scotland and SA.

 

[Carinne B]

so she couldn't get away in a Bentley Continental GT (top speed 190mph+)??

the film seemed to me, to be various bits from Mad Max, 28 Days Later, Escape From New York and many more put together just because the writer/director/production team could!

Enjoyable tosh - but then, so many films are. It's hardly a revelation.

[dyingrose]

I watched it and enjoyed it.Its the type of film i wouldnt normally watch - but glad i did

 

[lonsomegeorge]

Some of the cinematography was outstanding!

The music was rubbish and the film was...meh. (technical term)

 

[auggie]

The music was fabulous! the score especially, and when they brought in Two Tribes near the end.

 

[Guy in©ogn!to]

It seems he wanted to be John Carpenter but all Neil Marshall could muster is an interminable 90 minute Prodigy video.

Shame.

 

[roberto-chang]

Did I watch the same film?

It was utter garbage. It didn't even fall into the 'so bad it is good' category.

Did anyone actually read the script before they made it?

 

[rosepetal]

Expected it to be average but quite enjoyed it.
