A futuristic action thriller where a team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race.
Great Britain, 2007. A deadly plague, known as the &quot;Reaper Virus,&quot; has broken out, killing hundreds of thousands in its wake. In desperation, the British Government evacuates as many survivors as it can out of the infected area, and then builds a wall, preventing the remainder from escaping. Thirty years later, with the wall still up and the victims all but forgotten, the virus breaks out again. The Government decides to send a crack team of operatives, led by Major Eden Sinclair, into the hot zone to investigate the possibility of a cure.
I had no idea what to expect (other than vague disappointment) when my hangover was so bad and this was the only movie I hadn&#39;t seen that was available at the time. I figured fine it will suck, but it can&#39;t be nearly as bad as the Pathfinder.<br/><br/>After seeing the whole film I can say with confidence this is no great gem of a movie (but still way better than the Pathfinder). It was however entertaining and at times had a Paul Verhoven feel to it with surprisingly hilarious scenes that pop out of nowhere.<br/><br/>All in all the film has a very 1970s-1980s graphic novel or action movie feel to it. It seems to be saying look we&#39;re going to have a really crazy plot that is just a vehicle to show some insanely violent scenes of people dying in horrid ways. Also I wanted to make a movie that combined zombie flicks, mad max movies and just for fu...x sake some medieval knights tossed in for good measure. <br/><br/>Lastly, this movie has a surprisingly good sound track. If you like darkwave or post punk you music should be pretty happy with the tracks they play in this film. They else fit the color and style of the film perfectly.<br/><br/>Is this a movie you&#39;d want to impress a girl with? Not unless she was a goth... but it&#39;s a perfect film to watch with your nerd friends who still go and see super hero movies even when they know they&#39;ll most likely suck.
I noticed that the overall rating of this movie is 6.2 (I would give it a flat 6) and in my opinion that is a fair rating. Over the years there has been a number of these films about widespread virus infected zombies that cannibalize anyone that is not infected, but this movie is far from the worst of the bunch (that would have to be Land of The Dead). This film was not as &quot;zombie&quot; oriented as the others though.<br/><br/>However the film was very inconsistent in a number of areas, for example; the Scottish cannibal leader gives a performance on-stage that clearly used a sound system but Scotland was void of electricity for the past nearly 3 decades. I also though that the dynamic between the two groups of survivors living in Scotland could have been explained better. There is a number of other flaws to the plot but they are not completely detrimental to the flow of the film. There is enough blood and guts throughout to keep you entertained for the entire 100+ minutes of runtime. Although this movie was not as bad as I expected it to be from the trailers, it is still not as good as Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, or Resident Evil 2. Like I said, it&#39;s not the best but a fair rental if your in the mood for this type of flick.
Neil Marshall's flair for visceral action more than compensates for his script's lack of conceptual novelty in Doomsday. Principally South Africa-shot tale of a post-apocalyptic Great Britain cobbles together large chunks of "Escape From New York," "The Road Warrior," "28 Days Later" and "Resident Evil," but those with a taste for revved-up, splattery fantasy thrills won't be complaining.
Thirty years after Britain successfully walled off Scotland to contain the spread of the Reaper virus, a particularly lethal virus that has infected millions, England is devastated to find that the virus has popped up again in London. Consequently, Major Eden Sinclair (<a href="/name/nm0593961/">Rhona Mitra</a>) of the Department of Domestic Security is asked to lead a team of operatives into the quarantine zone to find medical researcher, Dr. Marcus Kane (<a href="/name/nm0000532/">Malcolm McDowell</a>), who was last known to be working on a cure ...that is, if they can survive the survivors who have taken over Scotland. Doomsday is based on a screenplay by British screenwriter Neil Marshall, who also directed the film. Sinclair, Ben Stirling (<a href="/name/nm0604418/">Darren Morfitt</a>), and Cally Kane (<a href="/name/nm1769728/">MyAnna Buring</a>) are intercepted by a gunship carrying the new Prime Minster, Michael Canaris (<a href="/name/nm0641244/">David O&#39;Hara</a>). He asks for the cure, and Sinclair produces Cally, explaining that she is immune to the virus and that they can use her blood to make a vaccine. Canaris informs Sinclair that he has no intention of producing the cure just yet. He would rather withhold it until such time as the virus has killed off the infected as a form of population control. Canaris invites her to come back to London with him, but Sinclair chooses to remain in Scotland and look for her mother at the address written on the note. Sometime later, Nelson uses that address to fly into the quarantine zone and locate Sinclair. She tells him of Canaris&#39; plan and gives him a recording she made with her artificial eye of their conversation, giving Nelson all the proof he needs to bring down Canaris. In the final scene, she returns to Glasgow where she tosses Sol&#39;s (<a href="/name/nm0176660/">Craig Conway</a>) head to the punk cannibals, saying, &quot;If you&#39;re hungry, try a piece of your friend.&quot; Realizing that Sinclair has defeated their leader, they begin cheering her as his replacement. The film gives three possibilities: (1) She stayed to look for her mother, (2) she stayed because she knew the hot zone was free of the virus but that London would soon be raging with it, and (3) she stayed to build an army amongst the punks to protect her should Canaris come looking for her.
