Doomsday

Doomsday is a Sci-Fi movie, partly filmed in Scotland and Glasgow. It tells about “The Reaper Virus” which attacks Scotland. British government tries to stop the plague by separating Scotland and England by a wall. However after 30 years the virus attacks areas beyond the wall. The government sends Special Forces to Scotland. They must find a vaccine which treats the doomsday virus.

I'v seen this movie and in my opinion it is quite interesting, however many movies have already used the idea of virus and they are all telling the same story; [for example “Virus” (Dir: John Bruno, 1999) or “Outbreak” (Dir: Wolfgang Petersen, 1995).] Firstly the film gives a lot of entertainment and fun. Secondly it has really good music.

However the script has many defects and characters’ behavior is sometimes ‘strange’ and pointless. The biggest part of the movie is concentrated around action, looking for food and fighting with each other, thus the actors have little room to maneuver and cannot show their talents. Moreover people who survived the plague look really unusual. They are wearing strange clothes, colors, make-ups and hats. I do not understand why? 

I am not sure if I would recommend this film... It's a quite good action movie, created from several different movies with the same theme. On the other hand it's a bit underdeveloped, sometimes even funny.
