Movie Reviews of Doomsday [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: My favorite movie of 2008!
Summary: 5 Stars

In the future, Scotland and Great Britain are ravaged by a deadly plague, resulting in a vast score of people being quaratined and left to die. When the plague resurfaces years later in the safe zone of London, Rhonda Mitra (oh how I love you Mitra!), a one-eyed, butt-kicking cop (or Soldier?) is sent into the quarantine zone to find the "cure".

I enjoyed this movie more then other big-budget features like "The Dark Knight." Mitra is an under appreciated actress whose movie career I've enjoyed since "Beowulf" (not the animated movie, but an earlier remake of the classic tale with Christopher Lambert that's set in the future), and followed through Hollowman and Highwaymen.

First, the movie itself has big budget production values, sets, special effects, and cinematography so at least the movie looks good even if you don't care for the plot. The transfer to blu-ray is outstanding, though the Special Features are pretty lame (not even an interview with Mitra!). Sound, and sound effects on the blu-ray disc were also of high quality.

Now to the movie itself - perhaps it is because I am a huge fan of B-action/horror movies, this movie was by far the best movie I've seen in a long time. This movie takes the best elements out of four different genres, cuts the fat, adds high production values and Mitra, cooks it all up serves a big heaping dish of crazy, out of control B movie fun. The plot, if you can accept the premises upon which it is built, is in fact fairly cohesive. It seems as though many people are jarred by the quick changes in theme and tempo the movie goes through, but I like to think of it as getting 4 movies for the price of one. My favorite scene is when Sol, with a background of 80s music and 2 hot go-go dancers, acts as the announcer for the BBQ of a captured scientest that Mitra was suppose to protect.

If you want a fun movie that is action packed and easy on the brain, this is it.
