One Paragraph Review: Doomsday

Doomsday is essentially a rehash of the basic structure in the Resident Evil and Underworld series, except instead of Milla Jovovich or Kate Beckinsdale, we have Rhona Mitra (who I last saw in the awesomely bad B-movie softcore "Beowulf" along side Christopher Lambert). It goes something like this: plague/virus happens, everybody is a nameless zombies/infected thing, beautiful heroine dons spandex and kills bad guys for two hours of forgettable action. I absolutely loved The Descent and was disappointed that director Niel Marshall did so little with the story and characters. Still, fantastic style, good action and a hot girl make this movie worth watching if, like I was when I saw it, you are completely wasted.
