Doom Trailer; I don't know about this one, guys...

I don't know what to fully make of this...but I know I don't like it. First off, is it just me or does the beginning of the trailer remind you of the first Resident Evil? I mean, not just "kinda" either...if you didn't know that it was a trailer for Doom, you'd think it was the old trailer for RE.

Then, and I just can't quite believe they are even going to attempt this, there are constant shots where the camera really is in first person mode. I just looks unbelievably ridiculous for the context of a movie.

Thing is were those scenes, where the camera was in first person mode, in an actual videogame...it really wouldn't be bad at all, in fact it'd fucking look pretty cool...but in a movie...I just don't know.

I will say that it is kind of cool to see some of the scenes from the game, in the movie...but past that, I'd bet this is going to suck donkey dick.

The only redeeming value, imo, of the trailer is the part at the very end, where the camera is(again) in first person mode and whoever is fighting Pinky with the chainsaw...in fact, I think I might gif just that part...

Sadly, Pinky just doesn't look the same in only 64 colors...;)

Edit: As per usual, it doesn't seem to run at full speed in IE.

Speaking of IE, I did something last night that just cracks me up everytime I have to open IE(which is rarily, but since I did this it's more and more often, just for the laugh value): I made it so that at the top of the browser, where it says Microsoft Internet Explorer, I put "sucks" at the end. I don't know...just cracks me up to look up there and see that when getting Windows Updates...;)

Just based on what they did to the story...without even seeing the rest of the movie...yes. ;)

I don't know... those 1st person scenes look kinda cool, they sure are original. But I'm waiting until I see the movie before I say anything.

You know, the FPS part of the movie, which in the trailer looked worse than anything else, were actually the best part of it. I *may* actually get it on DVD just for that 5 minute period when it goes into FPS mode. It was actually pretty cool(the scene, not the movie). ;)

Alright, and I don't know why I'm going to admit this...or post it, but I am going to pick up Doom today out of sheer bordem of what I face at work everyday. If nothing else, at least Divx-ing the FPS shooter part could be fun. ;)

Speaking of, Doom 3 for Xbox is only $16.98 at Best Buy today....for those of you who haven't experienced it, and don't have the horse power to run it on PC, now's your chance!

Well, haven't watched all of it yet...but the FPS part is *seriously* lengthened. It's now around 5 minutes long. The fight with Pinky is a lot longer as well, it's pretty cool.

Watched it all last night...all in all, it's not too bad...in fact, it's alright. I'm disgusted to no end about the fact that they changed the story on where the monsters came from, but as they don't even seem to talk about it too much in the movie, I can get over it.

Realistically, I don't think the movie should have been called "Doom", but rather something else...and then just let it be known that it was "heavily inspired" by the Doom 3 game or something. Other than FPS part, there's really not a whole lot "Doom" about it.

I do love the added gore(in the extended version), man at times it's fucking nasty! Plus, The Rock even pulls a mullins(a John Mullins that is) by shooting someone right in the throat! ;)

At any rate, if anyone is hesitating, give it a shot...it's worth a view.
