Well written and well played
PostedMarch 21, 2008
That was a very funny and touching movie... Ellen Page really acts awesome, and I liked Michael Cera from Superbad, he's still as funny. Definitely a great movie to see!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great action movie
PostedMarch 20, 2008
The movie was just GREAT, you get what you pay for. I really liked the way it was shot (rewinding 7 times to have the 8 stories) how all characters are connected, how the plot unravels, the action, the suspense... That's definitely an action movie to watch!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Just (or barely) OK
PostedMarch 20, 2008
I generally love Will Ferrell's movies, I like the characters he plays, but in this one, it just didn't do... I was expecting something much funnier, but the few laughs you get from time to time are definitely not worth the price in my mind... I left the theater quite disappointed!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Maybe one of the c***piest movies of 2008
PostedMarch 20, 2008
I was so excited about this movie... And then I saw the total disaster, and I got angry having spent my money on such a lame movie. To make it short: no plot, no story around all the characters except Christensen, no ending, the action scenes you see in the trailer are almost all the action scenes there are in the movies. Samuel is keeping it as bad as Snakes on a plane.

You get what you look for
PostedMarch 20, 2008
For a virus/horror/action movie, Doomsday doesn't do too bad. It surely doesn't beat the 28 days and 28 weeks later movies, which are the best recent ones there are in this category. But if you like this genre, and if you've felt insulted by the Resident Evil series (as I, a fan of the video game, have felt ashamed watching the 2nd and the 3rd, the 1st one being OK), then there's a chance you'll like it. Story isn't anything new, but it's not too bad, and it's quite fun to see how Scotland evolves in the movie after the virus spreads. Sure it's maybe exagerated, but by buying a ticket for this movie you know you're not paying for a highly developed intrigue but for splattered brains and action (otherwise watch the trailer again more carefully). That's what you want and that's what you get!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A real good laugh
PostedMarch 20, 2008
It seemed to me animation movies quality was starting to drop because producers think having famous actors in the cast and cute virtual characters but nothing else is sufficient to make the movie a blockbuster (remember Bee Movie or Surf's Up). Well finally this one does change the game... I really enjoyed watching this movie, it completely cracked me up. It may not be the best animation movie ever, but it is still a must-see. My only personal reason for a 4 stars is the length, as I would have really liked to enjoy it a little longer than 88 min
Yes, I recommend this movie.
