Doomsday
Dooms day is not a good film... Despite this I really like it, its very silly.
The Best
Overcrowded cities - Although I am sure it will look dated pretty quickly there are some nice ideas for the future of england. The overcrowded slums, imposing goverment and law enforcement all make for a pretty horrible atmosphere.
The goverment - when the virus breaks out in scotland the goverments plan is to wall it off and forget about them. When it happens again in london they plant o do the same. There are some pretty harrowing scenes of soldiers killing infect civilians.
Survivours - The post apocolyptic survivours in scotland are quite entertaining with Mad Max style mohawks and crude axes made out of steel plates oh and their cannibles.
The gore - There is some incredibly over the top gore in this film a dude having his head explode when shot with a shotgun, a rabbit that runs into a sentry guns range are just a few of the wonderfully splatterfilled moments.
The good
The road gangs
The gimp
Rock stage performance
The Bad
Silly - There is alot of silliness in this film. I really dont like the survivours that live in a castle and pretend to be knights. It seems impractical for the other suvivours to become cannbiles.
Tech - There is some silly technology in the film. My least favourite is the boinic eye the lead femal has that she can take out and roll around the place to look round courners.
Female lead - Now I have no problems with female leads but in this film it really feels like they went for a sexy femal in not alot of clothing to draw in the viewers. It would have had more impact if the woman had of seemed more realistic or a little filthier.
