Doom

Tonight I watched the Doom movie attempt for the second time. I found it in the bargain bin at K-mart for $8 - I thought it would be good for a laugh :) I had the same impression as the first time - the monster shots were rushed, its too dark, and just seemed kind of silly.

Then I watched a few of the bonus features and saw how much the team really got into it. They used lots of prosthetics, it all seemed really well done, and from the interviews it sounded like they were doing a really good job, and they were really proud.

And then in the movie it looks terrible. It’s a shame, because the quality looked really good in the making of; it just goes to show how production values can be wasteful if they are not properly handled in the final presentation.
