Guns and eyes and punk, oh my.

So there's a ninja kickass cop with a gun, and a killer virus, and a mad cannibalistic Iggy Pop, and knights on horseback, and a general post-apocalyptic Mad Max funk, and a medieval society with issues.

Oh! And Hadrian's Wall.

In 2033.

Doomsday was a fun movie. Not a smart movie, but a really ----ing fun one. Starts out horror that couldn't match up to Children of Man, segues into cop-work with some *really* heavy-handed explanations of political machinations, and having got all that out of the way in the first half-hour, becomes quite properly itself.

I would totally pay up to $8 to have this movie on DVD. (Including taxes, mind you.)

I need to check and see if it was based on a graphic novel; there are a couple of places where the action and the voices are duplicating each other pretty heavily without exposition being totally necessary, which is something you still often find in comics, and the general feel of it... eh. I'd be utterly unsurprised to open up Heavy Metal and find it splashed across the pages. Like Brotherhood of the Wolf or Immortal.

EDIT: Hmh. Same guy (writer/director) who did Dog Soldiers and The Descent. Apparently I need to start paying attention.
