Moview Review - Doomsday (2008)

I have been watching a lot of new movies lately, to get back to my usual midnight movie fever, amongst those that I have watched, includes Doomsday, Felon, Harold & Kumar 2, Pathology and etc. But I will start with Doomsday, since it haven't shows in cinema... yet, and I'm not sure if it will show either, since some of the part are quite violence and I actually watched with the "Unrated Edition".


It all started with a "Reaper" virus which spreaded across Europe, causing the people possessed with the virus and eventually the government have to build a wall to isolate the entire Europe to prevent the virus from spreading across the world. Creating an automatic sentries which will shoot which ever living things that comes near to the "Wall".

After 30 years of isolations, government comes to discover that there were still survivors, humans who were still alive within the wall. Which comes to the conclusion that someone in the wall have found the cure and they want to send a team to extract the cure. Sinclair (stars Emma Cleasby) is the one to lead the team. Having found there are "punk" tribes in the middle of their mission, and the whole team was being devastated by the tribe and Sinclair was captured, together with some of her soldiers.

The plot gr0ws until Sinclair found ways to escape and to continue with her mission, find the cure. Of course, there are a lot of bloody violence, such as you can see a lot of heads being chopped and flew around, the most irritating part is when the "Punk" actually roast a soldier alive just like how people roast a pig. After roast, they even shows you how they sliced the meat to have their dinner. Yucky...

But overall, I would rate this movie slightly below average, nothing much of a special scene other than those irritating part. The plot is just "so so" rated. But if you are bored and have nothing to do, you may try this movie out. =P
