Doomsday Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[It] may not have anything new to bring to the gallows, but what it does have is Marshall's deadly serious tone (one suspects Marshall could direct Robin Williams and Christopher Walken in Waiting for Godot and come out of it with his genre cred intact)
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Filmmaker Neil Marshall delivers a blisteringly-paced opening stretch that effectively establishes the movie's dystopian landscape and the rough-and-tumble protagonists...
n+1
A.S. Hamrah
Doomsday does for the 1980s-style post-apocalypticism of Road Warrior what Grease did for the 1950s. It turns it into a kiddie musical. The difference is that people liked Grease.
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
...a Whitman's sampler of bizarre story ideas and visual gimmicks, congealing around a premise that is so straightforward that it affords them no groundwork for stability or realization.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
I somehow ended up admiring "Doomsday" for being the most unapologetically ridiculously, preposterous action movie I've ever seen.
Movies.com
Dave White
In terms of sheer excitement, it's the best movie of 2008.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
As it slogs through one hectic yet mundane set pieces after another, the film slowly drowns in its own pool of clichs.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
One's enjoyment of Doomsday might stem from how much one admires a blatant homage to the 1980s.
Washington Times
Christian Toto
Doomsday might seem novel - if you've never seen "The Road Warrior," "Aliens," "Escape from New York" or any other post-apocalyptic flick before.
Cinefantastique
Steve Biodrowski
A bit like a medley of greatest hits performed by a hot, young talent who brings a new vocal inflection to the tired, old standards.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
[Director] Marshall cribs whole sections from other movies (Aliens and The Road Warrior, most blatantly) so baldly that you have to wonder how he'd like it if someone ripped off The Descent this egregiously.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
I still believe with all my heart that no movie with real car stunts, a tough-chick hero, and a severed head that thunks directly into the camera can be all bad. But this is pushing it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
Most fantasy-action films blow their budgets in the first half-hour, and limp home with their makeup smeared. Doomsday is unusually patient, smartly saving most of its fireworks for the later innings.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Much as one might admire the British health care system as presented in the documentary Sicko, even Michael Moore would have to admit they have a hard time over there coping with apocalyptic viruses.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Totally earnest but in complete awe of its predecessors.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
Doomsday is frenetic, loud, wildly imprecise and so derivative that it doesn't so much seem to reference its antecedents as try on their famous images like a child playing dress-up. Homage without innovation isn't homage, it's karaoke.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Marshall reveals himself to be a terrific showman of chaos and comic savagery. This is Baz Luhrmann's Mad Max.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Those with a taste for revved-up, splattery fantasy thrills won't be complaining.
AV Club
Steven Hyden
Doomsday plays more like a series of mini-remakes than a single, cohesive film.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
I can't support or defend Doomsday in the slightest. But it's also the most fun I've had at the movies in weeks. If you're in the mood for sheer sensation without the slightest bit of intelligence, this is the flick for you.
