Set in the United Kingdom during 2007,
Doomsday focuses on a deadly virus known as the “Reaper Virus” which
has erupted across the community and caused country-wide devastation
in its wake.
As the UK’s government valiantly attempts to
neutralize
the virus, their choices are soon becoming quite limiting and they
decide to build a wall around the infected area in order to prevent
the entire country from being infected.
Fast forward 30 years later
and all seems under control with the contaminated area a no man’s
land, however when the virus breaks out again, the government
organise an elite military Major named Eden Sinclair to lead a group
of experts into the infected zone to find a cure for this deadly
virus.
Doomsday is your classic science fiction horror movie that
although parallels 21 Days Later and Will Smith's I Am Legend in certain aspects,
it is
still an enjoyable ride that combines elements of action, horror and
the thriller genre into a movie that will make you squirm on edge
and best of all, satisfied through this entertaining film.
The video
quality of Doomsday is brilliant with extraordinary picture quality
that is matched with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound which sounds
phenomenal through our surround sound setup. Match that with some
great featurettes and this is one DVD that all lovers of this genre
should have.
Definitely a movie who
enjoy a thrill ride from hell!
