10 Terrible Movies That Reward You For Staying Until The End

Back when he was still figuring the whole acting thing out, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tried his hand at a bunch of different movies, including an adaptation of one of the most important video games of all time.

Doom revolutionised the first-person shooter genre when it first came out in 1993 and, 12 years later, it got the Hollywood treatment. Sadly, this was back when video game movies were mostly atrocious.

Though it’s not as bad as anything directed by Uwe Boll (thank God), Doom still isn’t great. It suffers from a lot of stupid action film cliches, including a plot so see-through you could use it as tracing paper, and there’s nothing much to differentiate it from any other big explodey gun movie of this age.

Except for the FPS sections.

Parts of the movie, including the ending, are filmed in first-person in an effort to capture the magic of the original game. The final sequence, which sees Karl Urban’s Reaper plough through demons like Doomguy in his prime, is captivating, a real shot of adrenaline after the rest of the film leaves you on the edge of a coma.
