Authorities brutally and successfully quarantine the country but, three decades later, the virus resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

Reviews
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
lukem-52760 DOOMSDAY is a fun Action packed mix of those old school 70s & 80s post apocalyptic trashy fun films!!! The Warriors (1979),Mad Max 2 (1981) & Escape from New York (1981) are the main obvious influences but there is tons of others like 28 days later & water world & Aliens & many more but it's done in a nice homage style, this is good fun. Set in England & Scotland makes this abit different & a nice addition to that apocalyptic genre with some cool characters & a cool cast. Some of the scenes are AWESOME like the night time hospital scene when the team of marines first arrive in the wastelands of Scotland!!! A similar plot to Escape from New York with Sinclair as a female snake Plisskin but hey IT'S all good homage fun!!! Doomsday is action packed gory fun & There's also alot of zombie film homages too & some very cool medieval scenes, Doomsday is a big adventure Thriller that does sit nicely next to the movies that inspired it!!! Good late night entertainment
TonyMontana96 (Originally seen many years ago) Extremely dumb and rather nasty as well, film's like this bring nothing new to cinema, except maybe extra mean spirited violence and themes of cannibalism, but if there are people who find this sort of thing fun, I suppose they will keep making this uninspired, nasty trash. Doomsday is pointless and awful. 0/10
dworldeater At this point I have already been a fan of writer/director Neil Marshall, as I have already seen Dog Soldiers and The Descent and are among my favorite modern horror films. Doomsday is Neil Marshall's take on the post apocalyptic action/science fiction genre. The film is mostly a combination of 28 Days Later, Escape From New York and The Road Warrior. The film brings us back to the good ole' days(the 80's) and is a highly entertaining and blood soaked action fest that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. The flick is a little campy, but looks great and favors practical f/x and delivers huge with tons of great gory action. Rhona Mitra is our gorgeous lead and is very effective here as a female equivalent to Snake Pliskin. She does well in the fights and gives a very good performance here as the lead in this film. Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell appear as well and are awesome as well. While there is a whole lot of stuff made that just does'nt appeal to me, Doomsday is totally the type of movie that at least, I want to see. I am sure this won't be the sort of film that gets awards, but it gets a thumbs up from me and is awesome in my book.
NateWatchesCoolMovies Neil Marshall's Doomsday is a bloody, balls to the wall homage to several different kinds of films, and while it may wear it's influences on its sleeve with complete lack of subtlety that some will read as being derivative, it's still a blast of B-movie fun with some neat set pieces and heaps of nasty ultra violence. It's basically 28 Days Later, Mad Max, Escape From New York and Need For Speed all rolled into one package. When a ravaging virus attacks the UK, a giant, impenetrable wall is built around Scotland to act as a quarantine. Years later when the disease resurfaces, British parliament sends in a team of mercy to gain the knowledge from survivors within the wall and hopefully find a cure. Rhonda Mitra, channels a tougher Lara Croft as Eden Sinclair, a warrior extraordinaire who heads the team with grit and grace, mentored by a cranky Bob Hoskins. Closely watched by slimy, untrustworthy politician Canaris (David O Hara is all scum under a lake of ice) they venture into bonny Scotland and find themselves in way over their heads. From there it's a dizzying parade of car chases, battles with marauding cannibal savages, road warrior style mayhem, and a visit to ex scientist turned medieval despot Marcus Kane (Malcolm McDowell) in his remote castle, setting the stage for a fight that's straight out of gladiator. It's all fairly preposterous, but the movie couldn't care less and blasts along on its own wild trajectory like a Rottweiler let off its leash in a furniture shop. Mitra makes a solid heroine, and the villainous turns from both McDowell, O Hara and live wire Craig Conway as the cannibal's brutal chieftain are super fun. Marshal has an eye for staging especially violent action, and with a film that wants to give shout outs to three of the most violent films ever made, he's the guy for the job. Not a great movie, but a neat, nasty little slice of smash and burn action fireworks that will put a fore poker to your pulse.
