Doom (2005)

“Doom” is a 2005 science fiction action horror film directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, loosely based on the popular video game series of the same name by id Software. The film stars Karl Urban as John “Reaper” Grimm and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Sergeant Asher “Sarge” Mahonin. The plot is set in the year 2046, where a research facility on Mars is suddenly quarantined after an experiment goes wrong, leading to the release of deadly and mysterious creatures. A team of Marines, led by Sarge, is sent to investigate and contain the threat. Reaper, whose sister Dr. Samantha Grimm (played by Rosamund Pike) is one of the scientists on Mars, is part of this elite team.

As the squad navigates the dark, labyrinthine corridors of the facility, they encounter terrifying monsters that were once human, transformed by a mutation-inducing pathogen. The Marines must battle these creatures and unravel the mystery behind the outbreak while trying to survive and prevent the infection from reaching Earth. ”

Doom” features intense action sequences, claustrophobic environments, and a first-person shooter-inspired segment that pays homage to its video game roots. Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, it has garnered a cult following among fans of the game series and the action-horror genre. It is known for its fast-paced action, special effects, and the performance of Dwayne Johnson, who delivers a memorable role as the hardened and ultimately morally conflicted leader of the Marine squad.
