“Doom” was released when 1993 was coming to an end, a period which had already witnessed the rise of the first person’s shooter (FPS). While the FPS enthusiasm had just started, “Doom” passed it to the upper level by kissing a catchy multiplayer style gameplay with little or not emphasis on the history of the game. Multi -more or cooperative games could do not be a new concept TodayBut at the time, the possibility for players to come together and compete with each other during the LAN games helped to promote a robust community like no other. At the forefront of these intense meetings and campaigns, there was “Doom”, which changed the face of the FPS game and inspired countless titles which would imitate its basic ethics.

It is not surprising that the overwhelming popularity of “Doom” has led to the creation of a long -standing franchise (which includes titles like “Doom Eternal” of 2020, supposed to be a series of “Doom” restart 2016). Most of these titles share a central premise: a space sailor without name known as “Doomguy” faces demons and other hellish creatures in a bloody and violent manifestation of rage and machismo. The objective is to map a base and advance while destroying enemies, resolving puzzles and sailing from time to time. The blatant lack of narration is a deliberate choice here. After all, why would someone care about a story when they can continue to shoot demons while industrial metal extends in the backdrop?

Andrzej Bartkowiak “Doom” science fiction action in 2005 Makes the fatal error to neglect this crucial aspect of the video game franchise on which it is vaguely based. Before his release (and the possible bombing at the box office), “Doom” was ready To break the curse of the adaptation of video games. In addition, Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson had joined forces to play Doomguy and SGT. Asher Mahonin respectively, while Rosamund Pike embodied Dr Samantha Grimm. Let us dissect what happened SO False with the release of “Doom” 20 years ago.

“Doom” was released in 2005 and has not yet attended the change in the eponymous video game franchise to a more history -oriented shooting show, as in the 2016 restart and “Doom Eternal”. This would mean that a conscious decision was made to neglect the sparse story of source material and a crafts that would complete the premise of research and heavy destroy of the film. This would be worked if “doom” was designed according to the ideas of promising seeds which echoed films like “Commando” or “Total reminder”, but a series of backstage factors limited the potential of adaptation from departure. In addition to being a ball critically, “Doom” only brought back $ 58.7 million global Against a budget of $ 70 million. Yeah, it’s quite appalling.

As for the casting, Johnson was originally to play John Grimm Aka Doomguy, but he was more attracted by the role of the dark dark military that embodied the darkest aspects of humanity in this fictitious world. Urban, who was freshly released while playing the eomer in the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, ended up sliding in place of the heroic protagonist. With hindsight, it looks like a misstep, like Johnson would have succeeded better the spotless hero Fighting for a cause, while urban would have excelled in a role that requires moral complexity. The node of the problem here, however, is the bland and fragile script, which does not reflect any real interest in the “Doom” franchise, except for a handful of superficial references played as a respectful tribute.

While Rosamund Pike could insist that the failure of “doom” can be partially attributed to herThis could not be further from the truth. The film’s production process was really condemned (without puns) from the start, and too many people who did not care about the games ended up being involved in the project. There is also a dominant false idea surrounding the “doom” games: yes, they are extravaganas of shooting to kill, but this aspect would fall flat without its strong counter-culture ethics. “Doom” concerns the grotesque fantasy which comes to life at the visceral and visual level, where demons are experiences that have gone wrong, reflecting the moral failures of humanity. Even in the absence of a traditional story, the world of “destiny” is as exciting, bloody and malicious as completely extensive. You just have to dig more deeply.
