Computer games are pretty suitable objects for screening, because the popularity with viewers and smashed book-office records are primordially guaranteed. Every person who has at least once switched on a computer to shoot the other hundred of monsters will hardly resist the temptation to witness the wiping out of the same creatures on a big screen. And if the title of the game is only used with such attribute as cult", then the fans of it are sure to come to the first night with the couple of friend to step into the shoes of a real keyboard knight armed with joystick and mouse. Though even the most trivial shooting game may be shot as a real piece of art, which is not quite the case of Andrew's Bartkowiak's Doom.
Contrasted to it even Lara Croft looks like a real masterpiece. Perhaps it is because the Doom is purely masculine, with robust machos with guns, and no place was left for such beauties as Angelina Jolly.
On the other hand, it is easy to understand the scriptwriters - what a plot can ever be made out of mere shots and
screams? So, they took up the easiest approach of never-inventing-anything: just a space station with people in white gowns
studying the population of aliens. One of the researches gets lost and the Earth sends troops to search for him. Everything
is as simple as possible. Though, to make it at least a little bit intrigue, the authors created the woman-character, Sam,
a biologist from Mars, who is to be saved. Though, not in the first turn. Firstly, the troops are roaming along the endless
corridors, stirring up the bloodstained gowns and shooting the monsters. Doing this, they lose their guys. The monsters are
multiplying, the heroes are dying until only Sam and her brother John stay alive. The key point at this stage are the
monsters (thus, mutated scientists) who breed according to the patters of traditional zombie horror films - by biting each
other's necks. And it also becomes clear that the whole thing happened when the scientists injected people with the extra
pair of DNA chromosomes, which made evil people into monsters, though good ones remained unchanged. Sam believes her
brother to be good, so she injects him with some chromosomes; he turns into gamer and kills all the monsters with sprint
speed and the stuff is seen with the eyes of a man sitting at computer screen.
So, in case all this makes any sense, then you should really possess a couple of extra chromosomes to enjoy stuff of this
kind.
