As I mentioned recently, the apocalypse as a motif is fantastic and I plan on asking it to be my valentine next month. I also mentioned that in film, the apocalypse is more often than not a launching pad for some truly heinous genre crap. Doomsday seems to fall squarely in the crap arena. Not only that but it looks like derivative crap. This wouldn’t be so sad if it wasn’t the work of Neil Marshall whose last picture, The Descent, was a personal favorite of mine back in ’06. Can’t win them all I suppose. All the same, it’s nice to see Malcolm McDowell on screen. Thought that guy was dead.
