They almost had the same excuse as the Mario movie. The original Doom was just going from A to B and killing everything in the way. Not a single word of dialogue and little explanation beyond muh demons. Hard to make a movie from that.
However Doom 3 came out before this movie and did a great job of padding out the original game with some story. Portals to hell, demons, horror and survival elements. If the movie followed this it could have been so much better. Instead we get some crap about genetics and good vs. evil.
Take the movie for what it is, its a bit of fun and has it's moments. The story is dog poop but its not as terrible as some of these reviews would have you believe. Worth a watch if youre a fan of the game.
