YADMT: Doom Movie...

[dugweb]

I know, i know, this movie is gonna suck... but this has to be the single-most redeeming factor it has going for it. Much of the movie is shot in First Person Perspective (you know, with the gun stickin out in front of ya) It probably won't translate well to film, but I think that is frikken sweet they are stickin to the roots.

link to trailor with FPS style shots.

I don't think it well be most of the movie. One or two scenes I'm told.
And really, that's a much better way of going about it.
When you FPS in front of your computer, your hands, eyes, and brain are in sync with the movement.

Now try to follow along with someone else playing, your eyes will be all over the place.

And now imagine that on the big ass movie screen. There will be much motion sickness and maybe a little bit of throwing up in one's mouth from the audience if most of the movie was in first person. Beware the Blair Witch effect.
