Hungry? Try a piece of your friend. Review on Doomsday Movie

So here is the story. I get to the UK and

what is the first thing I do? No, I did not check out the chicks. No I did not

check out the brilliant cars and bikes. That’s right, I found my way to the

nearest cinema hall. After watching a few movies, I was forced to decide

between doomsday and Nim’s Island. One look at Rhona Mitra and my heart was

pumping. One look at the trailer and I knew this was one movie that was not to

be missed.

I agree that I do have a thing for athletic

women that kick a**, a childhood fantasy that was fulfilled when I saw Tomb

Raider, that was extended by Mila Jovovich, and the cherry on the cake was

without a doubt Kate Beckinsale.

In a nutshell, I have a thing for women in

Latex and leather.

Doomsday may not be the most creative story

line. In fact, one look at the trailer I managed to figure out that it was

probably a mix of zombie, virus and underground genre of movies. However what

did fascinate me about the movie was the raspy quick action and the no-nonsense

approach to violence. Zombie movies are gory, but this one takes the cake.

Scenes of men being burnt alive as barbeque meat, decapitations and overall

blood spilling are not everyone’s cup of tea. In fact, **I would strongly recommend not watching this movie if you are faint at

heart**.

However if you have pretty much seen

everything, then you can go out and watch this enjoyable action flick. The

action scenes are well directed and the story line is fast moving. The actors

have been given very little in terms of acting, but good acting is hardly what

you expect from an action flick like doomsday.

My favourite scene without a doubt was the

one where Sinclair(Mitra) looks through an invoice to find a Bentley GT

continental and casually remarks “Nice colour. I’ll take it”.  Needless to say the Bentley is a little beat

up by the end of the movie(damn!).

One very interesting thing the movie does

exploit is the degradation of morals and values in the absence of law and

order. A very interesting insight into the way man kind may react if law and

order broke down.

As far as action goes I would give the

movie a 3.5 out of 5.

For the story line 2.5 out of 5.

Cinematography 3.5 out of 5.

Add it all up and you get an average score

of around about 3.

As always no revealing the plot of the

movie
