Doom (2005)
Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak
A team of space marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, led by Sarge, is sent to a science facility on Mars after somebody reports a security breach. There, they learn that the alert came after a test subject, a mass murderer purposefully injected with alien DNA, broke free and began killing people. Dr. Grimm, who is related to team member Reaper, informs them all that the chromosome can mutate humans into monsters -- and is highly infectious.

What critics compared Doom to
We've even seen the concept on the big screen before, in 2005's Doom, which adopted the first-person perspective for the final action sequence.
We’re past the Double Dragon days, but 2005’s Doom, 2008’s Max Payne, 2009’s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, and the efforts of Uwe Boll have kept big-screen adaptations disreputable, even while Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil series has continued to chug along as a reliable moneymaker.
Antes tuvimos la terrible película de Super Mario Bros. (1993) –a pesar de Bob Hopkins, John Leguizamo y, claro, el gran Dennis Hopper como Koopa–, y luego vinieron los horrores imperdonables de la saga de Resident Evil (2002); babosadas sin sentido como Pixels (2015) –que, aunque no sea adaptación, se empantana en revivir viejos juegos ochenteros–; las locuras de Dead or Alive (2006); las espantosas Alone in the Dark (2005) y Farcry (2008) del pobre Uwe Boll –que quiso dirigir Warcraft pero que Blizzard, con justa razón, mandó a volar–; los horrores recientes sin alma de Angry Birds (2016) y Need for Speed (2014); las dos bazofias de Hitman (lo siento Mila Kunis); la pésima adaptación de Doom (2005) y un largo etcétera que sólo se salva, tal vez, con la visualmente impactante e innovadora Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001).
By far the biggest problem with the film is the script from first-time writer Greg Russo and Dave Callaham (the latter of which does have some blockbuster experience including ko-writing one videogame adaptation already, Doom) which feels a combination of amateurish to something spat out by teenagers that just discovered the F word.
