Macho (and that includes the whamen) space marines running around fairly smart but generic space station sets firing endless rounds off at zombies and flame throwing demons. Plot about UAC secret teleport project on Phobos unwittingly opening a gate to hell. Coloured key cards. Wall mounted first aid stations. A BFG 9000. Actually getting to see Hell. Imps and a Hell Knight. No Nazis, spider masterminds, beholders etc, and I would have made the BFG do far worse damage, but you can't have everything. Honestly, it may not be the film that Doom fans want, but it's the film that Doom fans deserve. I know, because I remember the late nineties stuck on my old old old PC having just one more go at getting through the level before bed and then noticing light around the curtains and you realise that you have to be at your desk to start work in an hour.
Unlike The Rock's 2005 version with ancient Martian genes causing mutation, this version does follow cannon, as much as a nineties video game has cannon, so it is actually a Doom movie, not just another space marine v space monster movie that pinched the title, like 2005. I'd have enjoyed that one a lot more if they had just called it something else. E.g. "Marsageddon".
Tiny wee Scots lass Amy Manson (Trainspotting 2) is hilarious as the main man. Stunning and brave.
