Doom is a 2005 Sci-Fi Horror film, loosely based on the Doom series of video games created by id Software. It was directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and stars Karl Urban, Dwayne Johnson, De Obia Oparei, and Richard Brake as Space Marines and Rosamund Pike as the Determined Doctor who have to figure out what went wrong with an outpost on Mars.After option deals with Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures expired, id Software signed a deal with Warner Bros. with the stipulation that the movie will be greenlit within 12 months. Warner Bros. lost the rights, which were subsequently given back to Universal Pictures who started production in 2004.In an interview with executive producer John Wells, he stated that a second film would be put into production if the first was a success at the box office. Ticket sales for the opening weekend totaled more than US$15.3 million, but promptly dropped to $4.2 million in its second weekend and the story for a sequel was never written.Ultimately the movie wasn't poorly acted or badly written nor were the effects bad, but it still got mixed reception, carried only on the game it was based on, and related to the game mostly by shout-outs (and the monsters used) rather than the actual plot - not that the game's plot was much deeper than "you see it, you shoot it".Nearly 14 years after the release of this movie, Universal released a second adaptation, Doom: Annihilation, Direct to Video in the fall of 2019. That adaptation is a Continuity Reboot, with no connections to this movie. | |

| Doom / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: John himself, appropriately enough, seems like he's going to when his sister gives him the demon gene to save his life. Subverted when it turns him into an "angel" instead. Sarge starts to turn into one himself. He eventually goes crazy and Reaper has to stop him. | |

Dirty Coward | |
| Doom / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Portman, though he has several moments of Lovable Coward, too. Pinky, given that he apparently flees through the Ark rather than destroy it and the hell knight attempting to get through it with a grenade, as he was ordered. Dr. Carmack, who shuts the door on his utterly terrified assistant and abandons her to a brutal offscreen fate rather than giving her one extra second to make it inside with him. His cowardice doesn't save him for long, though. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |

All Men Are Perverts: Portman and the Kid come across a woman stripping naked. It seems that like many members of the crew she has been driven insane from whatever horrors she has witnessed. They both ogle her for a few seconds, but then the Kid gets embarrassed and steps in to try and help her, and Portman gives him a dirty look for spoiling it. It turns out that she's mutating into a demon. | |

The Virus | |
| Doom / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: Chromosome 24. Visible in the blood, and transferred via parasitic tongues, bites, or scratches. It converts the host into a rage-filled monstrosity that will kill anything it can find. Although this is a Zigzagged Trope, depending on the morality or capacity for violence and ill will of the host. If the host doesn't have the potential to (or at the very least possesses less potential) for malicious and violent behaviour, then C24 will act as a Super Serum. | |

Only Sane Man: Reaper, obviously, but also, surprisingly, Portman, once the squad finds out that they aren't dealing with a bunch of psychos or escaped animals, but honest-to-god monsters, Portman immediately suggests they evac and call for backup, because, as he points out, they have no idea what they are up against, they don't know how many "demons" are running around, nor exactly how strong and/or smart they are, and a single one took down Goat without much trouble, he wisely tries to call for backup once he has a moment to himself sadly, one of the creatures kills him and it seems the S.O.S never got outside the Ark facility. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Doom / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Reaper confronting and subsequently fighting with Sarge for ordering him to kill innocent civilians mirrors Doomguy's backstory in the original Doom video games, though it happens at the climax rather than before the beginning. The first-person sequence at the climax of the film is, of course, a tribute to the First-Person Shooter genre of the games. Although the monsters are not really demons in this version, there are still plenty of references to Hell and other Christian mythological concepts all the same, such as characters referring to the beasts as "demons", John declaring that the research facility is "Hell", and his finishing off Sarge with the Pre Ass Kicking One Liner "go to Hell". | |

| Doom / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Nanowalls. A wall whose mode can be toggled between solid and able to pass matter? Cool, great way to show off technical prowess, but in a facility on another planet that clearly has some ongoing power and brownout issues, a good old-fashioned door would've been a smarter choice. Since there's only one shown in the colony, it exists purely to provide a mediocre plot cheat. Though considering that the nano wall led into a medical facility, it may be used to keep any unknown airborne pathogens contained if any were to be discovered. It would certainly be useful to have something that a virus or bacteria physically can’t pass through. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: The usual reply to anything Portman has to say is "shut up," and for good reason. But when Sarge announces his plan to send the remainder of his team back into the facility to search and destroy however many monsters might be running around, Portman rightly points out that this is a needlessly dangerous plan and that calling for backup would be a better idea. This would've been the one good time to listen to him. | |

Spiritual Adaptation | |

Spiritual Adaptation: Many fans consider this movie to have little in common with the Doom video game it's supposed to be based on, but consider it to have a fair amount of similarities with Resident Evil,another violent video game from the 1990s, the most obvious reason being that it's about a paramilitary tactical team sent on a rescue mission in a area around a secret lab that find themselves attacked by zombies and mutants that were created by a corporation, more specific similarities include the fact that Reaper has more in common with Chris Redfield than he has with Doomguy, because of his overall appearance, his outspokenness (whereas Doomguy is a silent protagonist) and his feud with his now mutated former commanding officer, along with his protectiveness of his sister.Sarge's betrayal of his unit in the name corporate loyalty which he takes to the point of shooting The Kid, is reminiscent of how Wesker acted in the original Resident Evil, the fight between Reaper and the now mutated Sarge, is similar to the showdown between Chris and Wesker in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, as is Samantha's refusal to kill fellow scientist Carmack despite his grostesque mutation, being much like Annette Birkin's affection for her fellow researcher/husband William in Resident Evil 2. In addition, many also consider this movie to be a thiny vieled remake of Aliens, with certain scenes (such as Duke's Death compared to Hudson's) being almost identical, along with the fact that both are about gung-ho Marines on another planet that are lead by a tough black Sergeant Rock. | |

Hope Spot: As Destroyer is battling the Hell Knight inside the holding cell, he manages to pin it against the electrified wall and starts climbing a chain to get out. He almost makes it, but the Hell Knight gets free and rips the chain from the ceiling, bringing Destroyer down with it. | |

| Doom / int_c696f3ba | comment |
Heroic Willpower: Carmack and Goat possess this. When Carmack is infected and is Ax-Crazy enough to attack on impulse, he resists it and tells Samantha to "shut [the facility] down" and "It's inside" before he lapses back into violent delirium and Goat, when he reanimates, retains enough of himself to know that he's changing and so kills himself to stop it. | |

Shout-Out: The introduction of the Space Marines is a shout out to similar introduction of the heroes of Predator. id insisted the main character be named John, likely after Carmack and Romero. The fact that the commanding officer is simply called "Sarge". | |

It Can Think | |
| Doom / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
It Can Think: The infected seem to retain some cognitive functions at the very least. The zombified Dr Olsen used a scalpel to attack Reaper and Goat. The Hell Knight noticeably adjusts its tactics mid-fight against Destroyer when its initial tactics aren't working, later uses a bone-saw to break through the Ark vault door to get to Earth, and is even able to competently use a chainsaw in its fight with Reaper. Later still, one of the 'demons' disables the computers in the UAC facility on Earth to prevent the marines from extending the quarantine countdown. Even lampshaded: It's also clearly shown that the infected can somehow sense whether a potential infectee would become another monster or a superhuman and they are actively choosing to only infect those who will become monsters to increase their own numbers while avoiding infecting anyone who would become superhuman. | |

An Arm and a Leg: A scientist in the opening gets her arm lopped off by a closing door. It becomes a plot point later on, providing a means to access the BFG. Pinky was subject to this with the first teleporter tests. As succinctly put by a UAC Marine, "his ass went to one galaxy"... | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Doom / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: The demons in the film are just mutated humans, rather than genuine demons from Hell, and as a result can't throw plasma fireballs. Doom 3 also has a scientist note that the demons have bullet-resistant skin (it takes a good 15-20 bullets to put down a basic Imp), which doesn't seem to be the case in the film. However, the demons in the film do seem somewhat smarter than their game counterparts, one Imp is even intelligent enough to run away when shot at and set up an ambush later down the line. | |

Decoy Protagonist: Sarge. The actual Doomguy is Reaper. Sarge even thinks he's still the hero, as prior to being dragged off to certain death, screams "I'm not supposed to die!" Turns into a Genius Bonus when you remember that video game Doomguy was a grunt who killed his Sergeant. And even moreso when you realise that Sarge resembles the former human Sergeants from the games. | |

Walking Armory: Near the end of the movie when the surviving marines are clearing the UAC facility back on Earth, one can clearly see all of the extra weapons they are carrying (taken from the fallen squad members) slung on their bodies. Sarge is carrying both Destroyer's chaingun and the BFG in addition to his own weapons. Duke has Goat's shotgun plus his own assault rifle and sidearm. The Kid has his two submachine guns plus Portman's assault rifle. | |
