Doomsday - 1/2 smile

“Doomsday” is pretty bad. No, let’s clarify that. “Doomsday” is awful. I can hear the ‘pitch’ now: Let’s make a movie that mixes “The Road Warrior” with “I Am Legend,” but we’ll have a female protagonist. Maybe that sounded good in the discussion stages, but the actual movie leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, the US distributor, Rogue Pictures, didn’t make “Doomsday” available for the usual Friday newspaper reviews. That says it all. I’m not sure this movie is even worth renting from Netflix.
