a5c7b9f00b A futuristic action thriller where a team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race. Great Britain, 2007. A deadly plague, known as the "Reaper Virus," has broken out, killing hundreds of thousands in its wake. In desperation, the British Government evacuates as many survivors as it can out of the infected area, and then builds a wall, preventing the remainder from escaping. Thirty years later, with the wall still up and the victims all but forgotten, the virus breaks out again. The Government decides to send a crack team of operatives, led by Major Eden Sinclair, into the hot zone to investigate the possibility of a cure. To sum this movie up the best I can, picture-28 Days Later, Mad Max, and Lord of the Rings all on one reel.<br/><br/>I went in expecting crap, but came out with a smile on my face and buddies chatting about the best parts of the movie. It is over the top mindless violence and action. It really reminded me of Planet Terror for some reason just with the better acting. <br/><br/>If you at all get sick or need to look away from blood and guts, I strongly do not recommend seeing this being that there is A LOT of it. With the poor story line, they needed something to back them up and violence was the ingredient.<br/><br/>There were some parts I really had to throw in the back of my mind because they were just fat out unnecessary, but all in all I will be picking this one up come DVD release. Whats the purpose/highlight of this movie? Well, Action - No way, the action was not that engaging that can get this movie some credits. Fight scenes does look glossy at times but were far from being called good. The gladiator type fight scene was pathetic at the ends. The car chase simply didn't make any sense, moreover the music in the background at that time was of no relation to the tempo and need of the movie. The tank they prepared to go on broke with bare hands having stones. Well there was only gore and lots of blood in action but no style neither any tensed moments which are back bone for any good action sequences.<br/><br/>Then, Suspense/Thriller - No way, there was no thrill rides at all, neither any suspenseful moments. At the end I even don't remember how the good guys of the squad lost their lives during the quest!<br/><br/>Then, Sci Fi special effects - I didn't notice any good sci-fi special effects through out the movie. It seems that in the future man cant even make good tanks to penetrate!<br/><br/>Then, Drama - Ahh there was entirely no drama over here, at least not any such that is mentionable. <br/><br/>Bottomline - This effort goes flatly all in vain in all departments. Do have a pack of cigarettes (if you smoke) with you while watching to get the time passed on. Because popcorns cant last that longer! Those who don't smoke, at least keep your cellphones charged, as to check out old mates while watching the movie to get the time passed. You got to be doing something at least all that time!!! Neil Marshall's flair for visceral action more than compensates for his script's lack of conceptual novelty in Doomsday. Principally South Africa-shot tale of a post-apocalyptic Great Britain cobbles together large chunks of "Escape From New York," "The Road Warrior," "28 Days Later" and "Resident Evil," but those with a taste for revved-up, splattery fantasy thrills won't be complaining. Thirty years after Britain successfully walled off Scotland to contain the spread of the Reaper virus, a particularly lethal virus that has infected millions, England is devastated to find that the virus has popped up again in London. Consequently, Major Eden Sinclair (<a href="/name/nm0593961/">Rhona Mitra</a>) of the Department of Domestic Security is asked to lead a team of operatives into the quarantine zone to find medical researcher, Dr. Marcus Kane (<a href="/name/nm0000532/">Malcolm McDowell</a>), who was last known to be working on a cure ...that is, if they can survive the survivors who have taken over Scotland. Doomsday is based on a screenplay by British screenwriter Neil Marshall, who also directed the film. Sinclair, Ben Stirling (<a href="/name/nm0604418/">Darren Morfitt</a>), and Cally Kane (<a href="/name/nm1769728/">MyAnna Buring</a>) are intercepted by a gunship carrying the new Prime Minster, Michael Canaris (<a href="/name/nm0641244/">David O'Hara</a>). He asks for the cure, and Sinclair produces Cally, explaining that she is immune to the virus and that they can use her blood to make a vaccine. Canaris informs Sinclair that he has no intention of producing the cure just yet. He would rather withhold it until such time as the virus has killed off the infected as a form of population control. Canaris invites her to come back to London with him, but Sinclair chooses to remain in Scotland and look for her mother at the address written on the note. Sometime later, Nelson uses that address to fly into the quarantine zone and locate Sinclair. She tells him of Canaris' plan and gives him a recording she made with her artificial eye of their conversation, giving Nelson all the proof he needs to bring down Canaris. In the final scene, she returns to Glasgow where she tosses Sol's (<a href="/name/nm0176660/">Craig Conway</a>) head to the punk cannibals, saying, "If you're hungry, try a piece of your friend." Realizing that Sinclair has defeated their leader, they begin cheering her as his replacement. The film gives three possibilities: (1) She stayed to look for her mother, (2) she stayed because she knew the hot zone was free of the virus but that London would soon be raging with it, and (3) she stayed to build an army amongst the punks to protect her should Canaris come looking for her. Crowd parties at Sol's show - "Dog Eat Dog" by Adam and The Ants.<br/><br/>Sol dances onstage with strippers - "Good Thing" by Fine Young Cannibals.<br/><br/>Sol dances onstage with men in kilts - "The Can Can" by Ariel Rechtshaid.<br/><br/>Talbot is brought out to the crowd - "Spellbound" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.<br/><br/>Sol's gang chases Sinclair, Stirling, and Cally on the road - "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.<br/><br/>End credits - "Club Foot" by Kasabian. The film's theatrical cut was rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Later, an unrated version was released on DVD and Blu-ray disc, adding more story to the film.
