I thought the movie was entertaining, in a dumb-mindless-sci-fi-slash-action-flick kind of way (much like T3) and managed to capture the Doom 3 (but not the first two games) atmosphere/feel but not much else. Somehow, it just wasn't Doom. There were no hellspawn, the marines and the monsters looked nothing at all like they do in the games and i didn't care much for the characters, they were all more or less lame and stupid but most of all very stereotypical. And while the original Doom didn't really have much of a story, they didn't really put any effort into atleast writing a story that resembled the one in the games for this movie. Story, of the game(s), is simple:
UAC creates teleport technology on a secret installation on the moon and accidently opens up a gateway through hell, causing a massive invasion of hellspawn on the moonbase.
A group of space marines are sent in to investigate due to lack of communication, all but one are killed. He single-handely thwarts the invasion.
He returns to earth only to find out that the hellspawn had already managed to invade earth.
Granted, it was awhile ago i saw the movie, so i could be wrong about the story being way-off.
