Doom (2005)
In Doom, a film adaptation of the popular video game series, Dwayne Johnson plays Sarge, the leader of a team of Marines sent to investigate a research facility on Mars. The sci-fi horror elements kick in as the team discovers that the scientists have unleashed a terrifying mutation, turning people into monstrous creatures. What follows is a claustrophobic, action-packed fight for survival against these mutated beings.
Doom may not have been a critical success, but Johnson’s performance is one of the film’s highlights. His physical presence and unrelenting determination fit well within the sci-fi horror genre. For fans of the game, the film delivers moments of visceral action, and while it may not fully capture the depth of the source material, Johnson’s charisma makes it an entertaining entry in the sci-fi action genre.
