Oof. This is not looking great at all, and yes, I am keeping the last movie as a barometer for what looks "great" and what doesn't. Written and directed by Tony Giglio, the same guy who did Death Race 2 and Death Race 3 (yikes), the movie follows a group of space marines responding to a distress call from a Martian moon base, only to discover (wait forrrr iiiiiiiit) it's been overrun by demonic creatures who threaten to create Hell on Earth.
No shit.
I mean, the fact that they are having so much trouble getting this right is troubling in itself. There are plenty of one note plots that have been turned into badass action films, and they've got a lot of groundwork from all the games in terms of set-piece battles and locations. This just looks bad. And in case you're wondering if id Software has anything to do with this, here is their response.
DOOM ANNIHILATION comes out some time this year. No rush, fellas. Why not polish it a bit first?
