DVD: Doomsday

Doomsday isn't so much a film as a tribute to all the director's favourite 1980s science-fiction action movies. There wouldn't be much left over if you edited out all the pinchings from 'The Terminator', 'Aliens, Escape from New York' and the 'Mad Max' franchise – and it even gets back to the Eighties by having Fine Young Cannibals and Frankie Goes to Hollywood on the soundtrack. If you were feeling generous you'd call it a parody, which might excuse the wooden acting, naff dialogue and logic-free plotting, but you'll definitely laugh at it more than you'll laugh with it.
