Neil Marshall's Doomsday


Doomsday is a big dumb mashup of movies from the 80's that Neil Marshall loved. Since it wasnt screened for critics I was expecting an absolute disaster but it really isnt as bad as all that. If it had screened I would expect a tomatometer of about 20% which is about average for this sort of fair. It plays somewhat like a cinematic version of a Girl Talk song. Snippets of Mad Max, Escape from New York, and Alien with some sword and sorcery thrown in from way the fuck in left field for good measure. It has basically no focus, a ton of screaming and overbearing music but, somehow I still enjoyed it.



3/5
