Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Loud, violent, and proudly derivative, the post-apocalyptic action-thriller Doomsday is the latest from UK cult director Neil Marshall, who impressed horror fans with his previous efforts, Dog Soldiers and The Descent. Both pictures established Marshall as a director with a knack for reinventing well-worn genre pictures, but here, he seems more interested in stitching together favorite scenes and elements from established horror and science-fiction films. Escape from New York is the main source for Doomsday, though there are plenty of nods to The Road Warrior and its multitude of Italian-made carbon copies, as well as the zombie/plague subgenre; the lovely but impassive Rhona Mitra is the Snake Plissken-esque loner sent by police (represented by Bob Hoskins) to infiltrate Scotland, which has descended into anarchy following a viral outbreak. The disease has surfaced in London (now a walled city), and Mitra is dispatched to find a scientist who may possess a cure. Marshall's vision of Scotland in ruins brings together the punk/modern primitive costume design of George Miller's Mad Max trilogy with some eclectic homegrown elements (knights on horseback defending a gang leader's castle), and while these touches are novel, the picture as a whole should ring overly familiar to any viewer who's spent time in the exploitation trenches during the past 25 years. Younger and less discerning audience members will undoubtedly enjoy the plentiful violence and gore, as well as the unbridled performances of the supporting cast, especially stuntwoman/actress Lee-Ann Liebenberg as the heavily tattooed Viper. --Paul Gaita

The plot is simple. Scotland has been walled off and forgotten for 20 years due to some horrible disease (28 Days Later) London finds fresh infections (Dawn of the Living Dead) A remnant of Scottish Survivors now live in a tribal (Braveheart, the Warriors) scavenging (Mad Max)wasteland. A tough female (Alien) is recruited by her fatherly dept of security boss and a cynical white-collar beaurocrat (Rambo) to lead a team of special forces (Predator) and scientists (the Thing)hoping to find a cure(Outbreak)or ...

This movie is the worst possible mixture of genres imaginable. It starts off with promise, looking like we are getting some decent viral zombie holocaust action. Then it morphs into a bad Road Warrior ripoff and goes even further by expecting us to believe that people can not only recreate Camelot and all its trappings in 25 years, but act like that is the only way they have ever lived, as if they just happened to have talented armorers and blacksmiths with them all the time (who could do 50 years of production ...

this movie was a mix of these types of films, but this had some funny and some serious scenes so overall i liked it.
Rating:  -
This movie is nothing more than repackaging of used ideas. Matter of fact there is one sceane that is almost directly out of Mad Max, the road warrior. Out of the choice between Mad Max and this, I'd say go Mad Max.

this is one of the most outrageous movies i have ever seen and i have to say its a work of art. theres a plague and these "mutants" are immune to it and become cannibals and troops have to cross out of their military lines and get overrun by these things and it has high octane, the movie is totally sick and twisted in a good way which makes it entertaining and disturbing at the same time.
HOWEVER the action cannot be beat, and theres a GREAT shootout and the soldiers literally run out of bullets ... Read More
