DVD: Doomsday
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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.
