  • Doom is a film adaptation of the popular computer and video game series. It was released on October 21, 2005 in North America and December 2, 2005 in the United Kingdom. The DVD was released on February 7, 2006, and a Blu-Ray version appeared on February 10, 2009. The film is closer in style to the horror game Doom 3 rather than the original action games, Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth. It is likely that the success of Doom 3 played a part in prompting the eventual production of the film. The film's design also featured the involvement of id Software, helping to ensure that things looked "authentic". Every monster and weapon in the film is Doom 3 style. Pinky, however, has wheels for hind legs, instead of mechanical hind legs and the BFG9000 looks more like a real life gun. The Doom 3 version of the BFG9000 looks more like a Halo Assault Rifle. In a September 2005 interview, executive producer John Wells suggested that a second Doom movie could be created if the first was a box office success. The film's production budget was $60 million. It received mostly poor reviews, eventually settling at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes's Tomatometer, and grossed $28 million domestically and $56 million worldwide at the box office. Due to the film's failure, a second Doom movie was eventually cancelled.
