"Brimming with exploitation antics, grindhouse sensibilities and, heh heh, exploding bunnies, Doomsday conjures a future thrown back to the dead-end styles and amoral excesses of the eighties - and no future could be bleaker than that."  musicOMH.com  Anton Bitel

1.5/5
"As scattered as it is senseless."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

D+
"Doomsday is a mess of lousy filmmaking and unrelenting artistic bankruptcy, smashed together to form an ear-splitting, overcooked, awfully irritating shell of an experience."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

"As the crowd screams and pounds their chests, the camera shows Eden's back. It's a grim resolution, even in the post-apocalypse."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

4/5
"When the film's unspooling and we're watching Rhona Mitra drive a sports car through an exploding bus, we find ourselves in movie geek heaven."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

1/4
"Soulless, impersonal and shamelessly derivative, this dime-a-dozen sci-fi garbage is such a depressing step down for Neil Marshall that one can hardly believe it was made by the same guy responsible for the rightfully acclaimed The Descent."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

3/4
"A tongue in cheek action bonanza that I cheered on with fists in the air..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

F
"Dreadful stuff, aggressively silly and repulsively nasty."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"Doomsday typifies the kind of movie that gets dumped into theaters during the late winter -- a regurgitated storyline, no big stars, and no real prospects at the box office."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/5
"spintati pseytokaltia, poy o,ti yposhetai sto dinei aplohera"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

3/5
"After they blow a bunny to smithereens (aiming straight through a plot hole), I knew all bets were off."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

3.5/5
"can be a blast if you like the action, like the violence, endure the language and like watching Rhona Mitra strut around in tight, black spandex"  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

1/5
"Let's just say that I've built more climactic medieval battles with a set of Legos during my childhood."  Bronsonfive  Michael Ferraro

2/4
"You know all those referential spoofs we've been getting lately (Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.)? Well, Doomsday is like one of those, except played completely straight."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

1/5
"It feels at times that the only thing that hasn't been appropriated is the Filthiest Toilet in Scotland from "Trainspotting," though it is filled with the decidedly unpleasant substance found on, near and in said receptacle"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

5/5
"About twenty minutes into it I decided to pretend it was a long-lost mid-'80s film Marshall had dusted off and put his name on."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

2.5/4
"Totally earnest but in complete awe of its predecessors."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

4/5
"If Marshall's goal was to deliver a no-nonsense, tongue-in-cheek, mega-violent "throwback" action flick, I'd say he's done a damn fine job of it."  FEARnet  Scott Weinberg

2/10
"Neil Marshall shamelessly rips off elements from so many other action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasies that you feel you've seen all this mayhem before - and you have!"  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

6/10
"Nothing about Marshall's grab bag has much to do with anything else...it may be aimless and arbitrary, but at least it's mostly fun."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
