The problem with the film for me is that it just feels...cynical. Like it's being done only because Doom is in the mainstream again and Universal realized they have this old video game license they can cash-in on.
And it checks out. The film is being produced by Universal 1440, who seems to exist solely to churn out cheap animated features and meaningless direct-to-video sequels to Universal properties collecting dust: Jarhead, Hard Target, Backdraft, Scorpion King. The whole thing looks low budget enough that the live-action commercial for Doom 2016 probably had more money to play with.
Doom deserves better that a DTV cheapie, but I can't imagine that my feelings are much different than anybody who liked Jarhead or Backdraft and find out that some mediocre and forgettable DTV film is calling itself a sequel to a thing they enjoyed.
