Doomsday (DVD, 2008, Widescreen)

Pick your favorite post-apocalyptic movie like Road Warrior; add your favorite medieval movie with horses and armor; think about the best car chase in any movie; add a great virus outbreak like 28 Days Later; throw in a little Spartacus or Gladiator action; shut off an entire city/country like I Am Legend; blend in a few scenes that could just as easily have been in Hostel or Saw; and mix in anarchy, blood, explosions, axe-wielding maniacs, and a few beheadings for good measure and you'll touch the surface of Doomsday. I'm already declaring it one of the top ten guy movies of all time.

There is a terrible viral outbreak in Scotland, and the best way to deal with it is isolation. The entire country is condemned and sealed off with a massive wall full of firearms to keep out the undesirables. Allow decades to go by and all is well. Right?

Evidently not. People survive, evolve, and turn into a raping, murdering, cannibalistic horde hell-bent on survival. Unfortunately for those outside of the quarantine zone the virus has returned, and it's up to the government to go back into the original land of infected and find the cure amongst the survivors who want nothing more than to destroy and consume all who dare to invade their turf.

Rhona Mitra is a hardened, lethal, and incredibly hot leader of the group sent in for the nearly hopeless mission. From beginning to end she is on a race for survival - blasting, kicking, stabbing, and decapitating her way to a possible cure and eventual freedom.

Doomsday is action packed throughout, and it's surprisingly beautifully filmed, with great shots of the countryside as well as the dirty, urban environment left to fend for itself. It's a great action movie, great post-apocalyptic movie, has tons of worthwhile battles and gore, and is an all-out blast. If you love to watch a movie for pure entertainment, this should be on the top of the list.

i cant figure out why this movie dint do better at the boxoffice??? it kick'd ass but it did seam to be missing something?? but i dont know what its it all girls guns gore cars this ones a keeper!!!

I didn't get the chance to see Escape from New York in the theaters but I did get to see Escape from L.A. I loved them both. It is a movie that shows you can take the best elements from different sci-fi action movies and blender them up into a really fun frothy, bloody good time.

Rhona Mitra is excellent as the modern Snake Plissken- Eden Sinclair. And she fights the good fight throughout the film. With swords and axes. And kudos to director Neil Marshall for never making her a sex object in her battles. She just kicks butt.

She ventures into a Closed off Country looking for a cure to a deadly and disgusting disease. London officials believe there are survivors who may have it. In goes Eden with her team only to find the country has split into two. Those who live in medieval times - complete with castle and sword. And those who live in post Apocalypse - complete with Mohawk and .. oh yeah sword. Either way no one is friendly.

It's all a bit mindless and gory but it is a the most fun I've had in the theater in a long time and the action is gritty. Never resorting to Matrix style shenanigans.

Shipping was extremely fast! Item came brand new, in original seal. Definitely satisfied with the item. Love this movie, this was a deal that could not be passed! Thanks!

I watched this movie twice! If you like Gore and bloody fighting~Then you will like this movie! I won't tell you the whole movie, but I will tell you this much~I do believe that there will be a Part 2! Hopefully soon too! I thought it was so good that I ordered this off of Ebay for my collection. I can honestly say that its the first film with actors speaking with an English accent that I can fully and totally understand what they are saying! It is total fiction, and does show some heads chopped off, so BEWARE! if you don't like Gore, or fighting, this one is NOT for you!

This movie is awesome! There's plenty of killing to go around. Enough blood to recreate the waterfall from The Shining's elevator and it wasn't a bad story line either! Good music, great visuals...I approved. It reminded me a lot of the 28 days and 28 weeks movies when it came to how fast paced it was. I was hooked within the first five minutes. If you like killing, crazies and, well...Resident Evil types then you'll love this. Treat yourself :)

I saw this movie on pay per view and loved it so much I had to buy it. It mixes many different genres of movie, and they are all favorites of mine. It has elements of movies like Escape from NY, 28 Days later, The Road Warrior, and Gladiator. The female lead is really hot, she will also be in the new Underworld movie. Overall this movie is great adult fun, but too gory for kids. I am happy I bought it, and will watch it many times.

This movie is ridiculous, each seen is more and more crazy. Love it. The man character is out of this world.

I like movies about the end of the world. Because I wanted to own it. It was one of those movies that you can watch over and over.

Like Mad Max? How about Escape from New York? This movie is a hybrid of those two great films, with a sprinkling of medieval warfare and a dash of 28 Days Later. If you think, from reading this description, that Doomsday may be trying to do too much, you're probably right. Still, this movie is good fun, with gore, special effects and chases aplenty. In 2035, an "infected" part of the UK has been walled off for years. Meanwhile, the world outside seems to be going to hell. In order to stave off a new outbreak, an elite team is sent over the wall for a cure. But what they find is more hell -- a lawless, amoral land divided into roughly two camps -- urban cannibals and rural medievalists. The action cuts between the world inside the walls, where the team fights and runs, and the world outside, where politicians scheme as the virus spreads through London. This is fast-moving entertainment, but because Doomsday is trying to do so much, the brushstrokes are often broad. Details of how each society continues to survive, which might heighten the action or make the drama more compelling, are jettisoned in favor of a thrill ride. It's a great ride, though, and one worthy of a sequel. If you enjoy Doomsday, be sure to check out director Neil Marshall's first real masterpiece, Dog Soldiers.

This movie is a mish mash of plenty of movies you've seen before: Mad Max, Escape from New York, 28 Days Later, and a little bit of Gladiator thrown in for spice. In other words: It's nothing really new. That's the bad part.

The good part is that it's so delightfully over the top that it's really fun.

Not shakespeare, no interesting twist on the genre or deep meaningful social commentary but excellent cinematography, really well shot action scenes and genuinely eery locations.

This is what could happen if we see signs of events that get out of hand and we choose to look the other way and then it is too late to correct the situation.

great scifi.that you can't say couldnot happen! great story line with a intresting split in the middle!! either way good none stop action.and a great cast of actors!!that realy play their parts well!!too make the movie more intresting!!!!!great movie!!!!buy it.you won't be sorry

A fun ride in a bad, bad movie. Horrible acting meets creative ways to kill people in an overused and unoriginal plot. The story was hardly realistically set in 2035; it could have been last year for any matter. Stupid little things like a 1978 Rover 2600 SDX keeping up with a 2007 Bentley Continental GT and cars driving through buses unharmed and unrealistic fights. But it's fun if you don't have much to do.

I LOVED THE MOVIE AND RHONA MITRA. ITS A MIX BETWEEN MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR AND 28 DAYS/28 WEEKS LATER. WATCHED OVER 25 TIMES ON DIGITAL CABLE I PURCHASED THE DVD AFTER IT WAS OFF CABLE. GREAT SHOW!

I just thought that this movie was cool to watch and wanted to own it and besides it reminded me of the video game fallout 3 . .mostly cause of the raiders in the game resemble the freaks running around in the movie

The movie is just an excellent choice. I loved it. Will definitely watch hundreds of times over and over again. I wish directors could make some more movies like ''Doomsday''. It was horrifying,sexy,funny,with a lot of action at the same time. And the seller is just sweet too.

I thought this movie was a good sleeper. If you like action, futuristic doemsday type movies, this is a good one. It didn't get enough marketing before it released at the movie theater so many people missed it there but don't miss it now.
I give it a B+

Didnt know what to think about this one at first thinking it was a 28 days or weeks later knockoff but it proved to be a little more..Great action, a little slow in the middle but ends with a bang!! A must see!!
