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.
Using the actual "plot" from the game, it sounds like it could have been a really good George Romero or John Carpenter flick! Kurt Russel or Bruce Campbell would have been money in the lead role. The plot could have been kept minimal, like in the game, and focused on suspense and atmosphere.
