Directed By: Neil Marshall
Released By: Rogue Pictures
Theatrical Release Date: 07/29/2008
Synopsis:
Authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades - until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair, is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

Review:
Doomsday is a very rugged, dirty, and grotesque film. I found a lot of things in this movie don't fit together very well and don't make sense a lot of the time, but everything that happens is very entertaining. You don't go ten minutes without seeing someone get obliterated by a car or get their head cut off with a sword. The reason I didn't enjoy this movie a whole lot was because the plot was weak and so were a lot of the character developments. There's no doubt that gore and fighting are fun to watch, but that's all the film had to offer me. There were plenty of things that blew up, caught on fire, and were destroyed. The guys on this forum will probably get a kick out of it :]
