DOOMSDAY (2008) Explored

[@thehitherto5348]

It's far from perfect, but I loved Doomsday. It's such an entertaining mashup between various post-apocalyptical scenarios, all rolled into one. Rhona Mitra is a really underrated actress btw.

[@ScumsaveChris]

Agreed, suprised it did not get a better box office. Although I don't remember much marketing for the movie. Maybe cause I live in the US if that makes a difference.

[@netzach13]

Agree 100%

[@ptonpc]

@@ScumsaveChris I think the marketing really let it down. It is a great film.

Same here! On a side note, Sean Pertwee now plays Alfred the watchful protector of Bruce Wayne in Gotham :)

I remember watching this with my roommate. We were looking for a terrible action flick that we could laugh at and thought Doomsday fit the bill. We were really surprised when it turned out to be a pretty solid film.

With the state of England right now, Nicola needs to get cracking on that wall.

[@shainewhite2781]

This is by far the best sci-fi Post apocalyptic action film by Director Neil Marshall. Waterworld, Mad Max, Gladiator, and Escape From New York are the film's influences!? Cool!

[@caileanthomson1286]

You know, despite the hate this film may get, I really adore it. Maybe being a proud Scotsman certainly helps, but I adore all the elements this film references. And it has some of my favorite actors, too. Not a terrible film, but by far not the best. A fun ride nonetheless. Many thanks for another great video, Niyat.

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Thanks Cailean, I agree completely! Its the same way allot of John Carpenters work was recieved back then like the Thing which was panned at the theaters and only began developing a cult following 10 years later with its release to VHS :)

[@caileanthomson1286]

Thanks so much for the reply, @@filmcomicsexplained. Wishing all the best for your future, Niyat.

I loved this movie and the homage it pays to the films I watched as a kid. Great explanation!

I sometimes wish they had made a sequel to this movie, taking 5-6 years after the events of the first movie, showing that the virus had somehow infected the outside world.

As a Glaswegian this move has a special place in my heart

[@deadaccount7520]

That's pretty cool. I never thought that film got enough attention. No way that works in America....or anywhere else. The UK and it being a island makes it the perfect setting for end of civilization movies. I even liked the dragon movie everyone seems to hate.

[@dank2171]

It's not original but just watched doomsday and really enjoyed it. Resident evil meets mad max with escape from ny characters. Movie holds up better than most from that time. Dredd and doomsday probably most under rated movies from 2008-2012.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and beinh frightened, intrigued and some how understanding some of the actions taken in the movie. The scenes with the black guy in on the chain behaving like a rabid pitbull revealed so much to me.

One of the more unbelievable thing in the film is epople resorting to cannibalism when there are like thousands of cows just roaming around (if i recall correctly, right across the wall).

Malcolm McDowell and Alexander Siddig are in this movie, which is crazy cause I seen those guys in other movies and TV shows as well.

The one plot hole that still bugs me is how the government didn’t realize there were survivors in Quarantine Scotland much sooner since they had satellites keeping watch. But still, a fun movie that I keep going back to. I miss that old school era when originality was pushed.
