Overview

The lethal Reaper virus spreads throughout Britain—infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. Authorities brutally and successfully quarantine the country but, three decades later, the virus resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

Rated R | Length 108 minutes

Viewing Notes

When considered as a followup to Marshall’s excellent Descent, Doomsday can be a bit disappointing. But if you let it stand on its own, don’t take it too seriously, and are a fan of ‘80s era post-apocalyptica, then you’re going to love this movie, as I do.

Doomsday pays homage to the 1980s post-apocalypse genre in general, as well as Mad Max, The Road Warrior, 28 Days/Weeks Later and more.

If its guilty of anything, it’s of trying to fit too much into one movie.

Still, it’s an enjoyable movie to watch. Rhona Mitra looks ravishing here, despite the creepy camera eye, and nice little turns by Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell are featured as well. Dog Soldiers fav Sean Pertwee also makes an appearance.
