"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."

Anton Bitel
1.5/5
"As scattered as it is senseless."

"
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."

"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."

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
."

Dustin Putman
3/4
"A tongue in cheek action bonanza that I cheered on with fists in the air..."

"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

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."
