MovieWeb Reviews:

"Doom initially sticks to the story of the videogame, but smartly deviates from it when the plot starts to become cliché. It goes in an unexpected direction and the result is a much more captivating film. "

- Julian Roman

"Let's not kid ourselves. Doom isn’t a storytelling tour-de-force. ... There’s something about an extra chromosomal pair, a human experiment gone awry and an ungainly plot thread between Karl Urban and Rosamund Pike. Do I care that the Grimm siblings seethe with unresolved issues? Nope. Do I want to know about fictional genetic theory in lieu of pulse-pounding, gun-toting action? Not a wit. "

- J.P. Mangalindan
