Just when we erased all memory of the dreadful 2005 film adaptation of DOOM, starring The Rock and that dude from The Lord of the Rings, this arrives. DOOM: Annihilation, a direct-to-video or streaming-services-first film based on the same id Software universe.

So much so that this looks like a really bad fan film. Which somehow manages to look worse than the 2005 film in just about every way.



Written and directed by Tony Giglio (Death Race sequels, Soccer Dog: The Movie), since the trailer went live id Software has responded to fan questions on social media to confirm that they had no involvement with the production.

Of course making a quality judgement on a film based on a 30 second trailer isn't the right move, and sight unseen there's always a chance DOOM: Annihilation could be good. Or a bit of fun.

Actually, no. This looks terrible.
