Movie Review: Doomsday

Doomsday is not one of the films in the pattern ^.^ but something I felt like watching so I figured I'd do a review. This movie happens to be one of my favorites. It starts with a very dramatic scene where soldiers  

mow down civilians, one of which has an infection that they are trying to contain, and in the process shoot a little girl in the eye. They shut and weld the doors to the gate close on the citizens. The mother of the little girl manages to get her onto a helicopter with the soldiers.

Years later it picks up where the little girl as a soldier. And the virus is back. They notice survivors in the containment area and they set up an expedition out there to find a survivor that might have a cure running through their veins.

As they start their journey you notice a few things. There are numbers on doors to show how many were inside needing rescue that never came. As they explore a lab not too far in you get your first taste of those who have survived. A girl wanders up to distract which a whole group comes up on them. Carrying weapons that are something of medieval mixed with apocalyptic........and action ensues as the throw fire bombs on the escaping vehicles. And the girl decoy turned killer......the two vehicles that they bring with them quickly are taken out. And an alleyway battle ensues. As does their capture.....

Enter now into the world of the survivors. Watch the fire dancers spin what looks like electrical sparks. And the girls dace. Watch as their leader dances about on stage. To an adoring crowd. And then watch as they

cook those they captured alive for their feast. A disgusting feat of cannibalism but something to say about what one has to do when put in such a situation. Though no more messed up then having been the ones that put them in that situation.

After the feast the main character escapes and take with her one of the hostages. Surely meant for their next feast. But not before a little girl on girl fighting. And they make their get away through the train station.........while followed by some pretty cool looking vehicles.

Change from the city to a trek through the woods things don't get any better. They turn into something reminisce of the medieval time. Complete with a king and king's executioner.......

As they talk you get a flash back to the city where the virus runs rampant. A rouge gets into the building before they shut it off. He gets it all the way to the top and gets shot in time to infect the owner.....person that runs the city......who then shoots himself. Preferring to die then suffer from the disease.......

The survivors are slated to be killed but by this medieval civilization. But once again they managed to get away.....finding the store house and in it one of the prettiest cars they could of in such a place. And they make their escape.....one less person. And in comes our much needed car chase ^.^ I for one am always down for a good car chase. And these cannibals do know how to make a cool post apocalyptic car....or a whole host of them.

The ending of this movie movie while touching leaves much to be desired for my liking. I understand the idea of it and everything but I would like a little more explanation about what happens. But that is always the way of it......now if your one for action movies then I would say that this is a nice one to watch. But don't watch with people that talk or you'll never understand anything ^.^

As always thanx for reading ^.^
