It has been a really long time since I watched a non animated film that I actually liked. I keep finding a lot of films really bland and formulaic, like the life has been sucked out of them using a zombie producer with a big straw. I had the dubious pleasure of watching Doom and found myself more interested in working out the shopping list for the next day. Believe me considering my husband is on a wheat, gluten and diary free diet and I am waiting on a website payment, this is hardly the most exciting shopping list unless rice and beans are your thing. I sort of expected a formulaic bland bang bang shoot the monster in the head film from Doom, infact that is not a bad thing in my book. The thing was they chucked out the story and decided that a good route would be to water down Resident Evil, add a dash of comedy in an animated game effect sequence and then ruin it all by casting a combination of wrestling rejects and wannabe actors along with the special effects team that needed their eyes tested.
