Actually, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and AvP were "acceptable" as popcorn munching flicks to watch when you're bored. I really liked RE and RE:A, maybe I am really mindless.
Lame@ss movies, but still good entertainment of sorts. Hope Doom 3 turns out to be a good popcorn muncher too.
The impressive cast of Doom 3 includes
Sarge - Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - (The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King) (He's supposed to be the main character, not the Sarge from the game.)
John Grimm - Karl Urban - (Eomer, The Lord of the Rings) (I think he's a kind of a Campbell-inspired character)
Samantha - Rosamund Pike (Miranda Frost, Die Another Day) No idea who she is supposed to be, but I hope she's not Theresa or Dr. Elizabeth McNeil inspired.
Goat - Ben Daniels
Duke - Razaaq Adoti
Portman - Richard Brake
Pinky
- Dexter Fletcher
Mac - Yao Chin
Dr. Carmack
- Robert Russell
Lt. Hunegs - Daniel York
Sandford Crosby - Ian Hughes
Dr. Jenna Willits (Willits, triple LOL
)
Dr. Hillary Tallman - Blanka Jarosova
Dr. Thurman - Jaroslav Psenicka
Curtis Stahle / The Baron - Brian Steele (Maybe a Hell Baron, maybe inspired by Dr. Malcolm Betruger aka The Maledict)
The basic premise of the story is that when a Special Ops squadron answers a distress call from a science lab on the planet Olduvai (WTF?
) their investigation reveals that a series of mutant beings (mutants?
) are systematically killing off the population there.
This is going to be absolutely hilarious, I think.
BTW, the movie is Number 5 on the "Top Most Previewed" list at Yahoo! Movies and is produced by the same company that made "Constantine" Someone there is obsessed with Hell.
