i hope they don't use too much first person footage. playing an FPS is much different than watching one. when you play, your eyes, hands, and thoughts are mostly all in sync which is why you don't get motion sickness when you play for an extended amount of time. When it's a giant screen and the movement/camera is flicking around, your eyes are trying to keep up and things turn out real bad.

i heard the fps was only during one scene but it's rather long (like 6-8 minutes); using it sparingly throughout would make it old pretty fast because it'd then seem like a recurring gimmick; but to use it well in one short segment i think is pretty cool, and a nice nod to fans; i heard from those who have seen the clip said it's pretty f'ing sweet
the little chainsaw bit we saw at the end was pretty good
no one goes to a "doom" movie for the characterization or the plot; let's get real, we just want to see shit blow up and action and gore. i think this movie will deliver.
unlike the trailer, though, rock is NOT the main character. karl urban's character is but because he's not as famous they obviously don't give him as big of a part in the plot
glad it's rated R.

How many movies have we had based on videogames that have stunk? This one will be no different. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me a hundred times with videogame movies, well, shame on you. Plus, I'm sick of the Rock being shoved down audiences throat. Then again, I can't stand wrestlers who now try and act.

Although I don't really see how he's been shoved down our throats.

I thought the FPS shots in the trailer were pretty cool. Hopefully it's for one segment as was mentioned above and not spread throughout the entire movie. Looks decent enough.
