Although it is the popular opinion to put this movie down, popular opinion rarely represents an accurate portrayal of something outside of the main stream flow, such as DOOM. For one thing, it is sure to be interesting to fans of the DOOM franchise. I have been a fan ever since I first installed the half a dozen floppy discs on my Windows 95 PC and I really wasn't that disappointed in this telling of story. Although it deviates from the strict invasion of Hell represented in the games, there is a spiritual undertone present in the plot, that in some ways makes the story more unnerving. This is represented by an excessively, religious member of the group who cuts crosses into his arm if he takes God’s name in vain and another, who's parents died at the site where all the action takes place, who says, "This place is Hell, it always has been." In addition, Karl Urban and The Rock, give solid performances, as does the female lead. This move may be a little "campy", but that only adds to its charm. There are also good special effects of monsters and all the other fast paced action. Also, there is a Doom first person scene that has the impression of one continuous take. Definitely some action not to be missed!Read full review
Although i am more of a Blu-Ray Fan myself, i must say the HD-DVD quality is top of the line. This Movie is suspense filled and action packed. Based on the Video Game the specially trained tectical squad are the only people allowed in or out of a scientific research base on mars. As to not ruin the movie for those of you who have not seen it, i will focus more on the quality of the movie than the actual plot itself. By using HD-DVD or High Density - Digital Versital Disc, there are more pixels per square inch, which means you can take any film recorded movie and turn it into HD. The HD-DVD does this amazingly well. The movie is clear and sharp no matter where you look on the screen. On my 56 inch JVC hd-ila a regular dvd player is blurry and fuzzy, with the hd-dvd player, the picture is HD, just as clear as the programming you would get from your cable provider. Currently i would not recommend purchasing an HD-DVD player, or a Blu-Ray Player, the industry is waiting for your response, let them know you won't pay the 500-1000 dollar price for the player, wait until they drop the price. If they dont sell 500,000 before the end of 2006, they will drop the price drastically. In My Opinion, wait, then by your player, HD if you want backwards compatability and cheaper price, and Blu-Ray if you want new technology with more movie titles. Hope it helps! -JackRead full review
This movie was entertaining for a alien si-fi movie. I actually enjoyed the "making of" special features more, very interesting. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) has done much better since "Doom".

This has some of the sharpest Picture quality of any movie out there. Yeah.. it is not the best plot, more a a guy thing. But when rating the PQ and audio this when viewed on the same Sony 50" LCD TV running the BluRay version wins hands down. Images JUMP of the screen. So crisp and clean that you really wonder if you are watching TV. So far I have yet to find a single movie on BluRay that can compete with the same version on HD-DVD. Why have both.. well.. some movies are not on HD-DVD.. really too bad as it is the far superior format at the moment...
Doom in HD is a fantastic way to showcase the resolution capabilities of the HD DVD format. The audio is great, the video is great, the storyline is great, the goriness and violence on the big screen is great. This is a great adaptation of the original video game, and even has the obligatory first-person chainsaw scene!!! Buy this movie before the HD DVD versions of it are all gone!!!
If the Rock was not in this movie, then i wouldn't watch it. I am a fan of the Rock movies and he always makes the best of the movies. However this movie does have great special effects and visuals but a lot of mistakes. Love the soundtrack, you should download it GREAT! A must see movie for all Rocky fans or fans who enjoy watching action, horror, thriller and sci-fi.
Awesome movie made from the video game.

I liked the Hi-Def picture, the clarity and detail was great and the digital sound was awsome. The movie itself was pretty good. It was worth the time to watch, especially if you have a big screen(I have a 65" 1080p DLP.
I was expecting the movie to be at least 6.1 with true sorround sound , but i guess 5.1 will do besides hd-dvds are dead so i can replace some of my older dvds wihd better than blu i see a big difrence much better h hd ,im a sicker i got 2 machines at home 1 blu-and 1 hd ?? go figuer i like d
It is a fairly accurate movie reenactment of the wildly popular video game Doom. Special effects are superb, the acting stays true to the game but is just so so.
