doomsday

i guess i should admit my bias right up front: i have no love for post-apocalyptic mad max movies. and this is one of them. this film is by the same director/writer as 'descent', which was a really good and scary cave diving movie. it seems that he ran out of ideas after that one and instead just decided to copy a bunch of other movies. this one feels like a combination of so many other movies, that there is really no real new idea in it. it steals liberally from movies like '28 days later', 'mad max: escape from thunderdome', 'waterworld', 'reign of fire', 'resident evil: apocalypse', 'robin hood: prince of thieves', 'devil's rejects', and about a dozen others. its lame, its tired, and ive seen it done better. way better. often.
