Doom - The Movie

Yesterday I watched some preview videos of the upcoming Doom movie. Now, for those who came in late, I am a big FPS fan. The only games I have played through are FPS, Doom (the original) was one of the first 3D FPS I ever played followed by wolf3D, Quake II, Quake III, Unreal Tournament (the whole series including 2003 and 2004), return to castle wolfenstein and Half-life I and II to name a few.

In the last three years or so I have done some modding for UT and Half-life as well. And, I am interested in bringing in cinematic idioms from movies into games. So, it is obvious that I am really excited about a movie that brings in video game idioms (fps view) into a movie. So I am really looking forward to it and more so the reaction of the audience to it. My previous experiences with movies based on games make me take a defensive stance against too much excitement for this movie. Anyway, for the sake of 'research' I will certainly go to the movie this weekend and a review shall be posted here.
