Yep, ditto! Didn't you know? It's the new 'thing' to diss and not like game-based movies. With the release of Max Payne, this genre has everyone talking big to be cool. :p

I enjoyed the movie as well and I still do. I thought the FPS scene was unique and as a FPS gamer, I loved it. :D It is, by far, the best game-based movie I've seen. The story would have been a bit much for those who didn't play Doom, so they probably got lost. Just wish they'd make a Blu-ray version since I have only seen a HD-DVD release. (as well as regular DVD)

I was expecting a 'so bad it's awesome' kind of movie. What a major letdown - couple of guys walk around dark tunnels and corridors, wave their flashlights and guns around, silence, loud noises, camera shakes violently so you can't see anything but a blur, stock character is dead.

Repeat half a dozen times, pretend the game had nothing to do with demons/gateway to hell and throw in a generic genetic-experiment-gone-FUBAR plot with the standard 'This is what happens when puny humans try to play God' moral theme.
