Doomsday

I saw this earlier and I think it was a good movie but I think there was something lacking which I couldn't put my finger on which meant it wasn't a great movie.
 
I thought the female leader of the Glasweigens was going to be her mother.

Until she beheaded her lol

Just back from it, loved it. Although why on Earth, going from the M6 to Glasgow, where they on the A73? :p
 
This is a problem with the movie, it looked like that woman was getting built up for a big role in the movie then she died :eek: I was expecting a big fight between them at the end (preferably in mud or jelly ;) )
 
I had the misfortune to see this, was looking fwd to it but it was dire to say the least.

Not so much an homage as a blatant rip-off.

I have to agree with you there...within the first 1/2 hour it was obvious this movie was a complete turkey the acting was as wooden as a pine forest & the storytelling lame...even the gore didn't make up for everything else that was lacking.

I have to second that...Thanks heavens I have an unlimted card or I would've felt very robbed had I actually paid cash to see this...I won't get back the minutes wasted watching this terrible movie:mad:. Had I been alone I would've left before it ended...quite a few people who attended our showing headed for the door within the 1st hour.
 
I forgot to comment on this. One thing I wasn't sure about - Was Dr Kane Eden's father? She left Glasgow with her mum when she was a kid, and the Dr went on about his wife and family outside the wall. It felt hinted at but nothing more. It does give a different perspective on the whole movie though... which I thought was decent.

It was poorly written and I thought its vision of the future was dodgy (two ridiculous extremes, tatooist cannibalistic punks and medieaval people) but it was entertaining once you took it for what it is. Even down to the music, it felt like what would happen if Michael Bay directed a small budget film set in Scotland. And you've got to admit, that's fun.
 
Absolutely spot on! Completely agree with you.

It was never meant to be taken seriously, so please don't! Acting was bad, but at times you had to laugh at it. It was a fun ride and enjoyable if you leave your brain at the door. You could tell the budget was spent on the action set-pieces and not on the actors.

Rhona Mitra - sexy as fcuk! ;)
 
Watched it last night. What a terrible terrible film.

At the start I understood that the natives turned to cannibalism as the food ran out yet the first thing the people going over the wall bumped into was thousanRAB upon thousanRAB of cows.

And near the end a 200mph Bentley seemd to be getting outpaced by a 1970's Rover and a London Taxi amongst others.

Not to mention the ban on flying over Scotland yet suddenly at the end Bob Hoskins seemed able to fly in there at will.

Just pain bad and not even so bad that it is good. To think I very nearly bought this on Blu Ray. A close shave indeed
 
The "Can Can" scene alone is enough to warrant it being labelled one of the worst films in history. About as entertaining as self-immolation.
