Reaper is wounded by a stray bullet. Sam saves johns life by injecting the serum in him. Reaper wakes up and finds out his wounds healed. John fights his way through the facility and he finds and battles pinky and gets to sam. John and sarge have a fight. John gets the upper hand and wins the fight against sarge. John sends sarge back through the mars portal with a grenade and destroys the base and Sarge. Reaper and sam escape the base. Doom 2005 is a simple popcorn flick where if you go into it not expecting much you will have a good time. I found the team dynamic very good between the marines, the monster designs are not too bad but where the films shines is the FPS Sequence near the end of the film as that felt like a level in a Doom game and that was cool.

Yo, that FPS scene slapped hard—finally felt like playing the damn game. But c’mon, The Rock’s Sarge was the only character with actual pulse while others were cardboard cutouts. Why do studios still think “dark hallways + growling” = horror? Gimme hellscapes, not discount Aliens. At least the chainsaw had guts.</br></br>Reelken - From the Dark

I liked your very good review of Doom, where you talk about human monsters and the 24th gene and skeletons of humanoid beings and some dead marines. I think I saw this movie where one of the scientists teleported and got stuck halfway, moving back and forth with some sort of advanced wheelchair. Literally, his butt ended up in another place.
