Old story of alien invasion

The idea is relatively old-fashioned.

A group of scientists opened a portal on the Martian satellite. As a result, the experimenter mutated after passing through it. After the scientist passed through it head-to-head, the entire experimental base was destroyed.

An armed rescue team was ordered to come to the Mars satellite base to check what was going on. In addition to a few survivors, they found a bunch of zombies mutated by the original base staff, and several alien monsters that could control the zombies.

The armed squad suffered from the deadly injuries. Looking at the remaining few, it was about to be able to escape from the base. As a result, the scientists had already been controlled by alien creatures and pushed the only surviving heroine into the alien star at the other end of the portal.

The heroine relied on powerful radiation weapons to destroy an alien BOSS and a bunch of alien monsters, and then escaped back to the earth through the portal. As a result, the mentally handicapped scientists on the earth still opened the portal for the alien monsters. . .

It feels like it has nothing to do with the "Doom" game, it just uses a name to try to attract the audience. However, the visual effects are relatively simple. The rescue spacecraft, the Martian satellite base, and the alien planet environment are not as good as the general game CG; the atmosphere is not in place, and the appearance of corpses and zombies is too uninspiring and not scary; The actor's acting skills are also very blunt, and it feels like an amateur playing a live-action CS game.

The overall style of the story seems to be similar to "Alien 2", but 30 years ago, "Alien 2" was produced very carefully with limited special effects. The horror and thrilling atmosphere can be fascinating, and the actors' acting skills have not been significantly dropped.

After more than 30 years, they have established bases on Mars satellites. The guns for shooting aliens are still big and powerful, their magazines are getting smaller and smaller, and they often get stuck. The actual combat is not as powerful as the heroine’s small pistol. The radiation gun is bigger, with only 6 rounds of ammunition, which is completely designed to kill people. The armed personnel basically lack any substantial protection. They can be stabbed by an alien monster with a single claw, and they don't even have a body armor with ceramic steel plate armor. The communication equipment is also the same as the mobile phone signal in the subway, intermittently. . .

Fortunately, the alien monsters are also very backward, except for the appearance of a little lesser, which can transform zombies, there is really no decent weapon. Want to invade the earth at this level? Do you think too much? . .

A lot of hard logic is untenable, such as such a small spacecraft, without equipment to increase gravity, the crew inside can walk freely. The special effects, atmosphere, and acting skills are also not very careful, and the overall feeling is like the style of the Internet, and the maximum is 2 stars.

Doom: Annihilation quotes

  • Private Steven Winslow: [the unit is being put on Phobos as Security] Why did we all get sent here? There's only one of us that fucked up. But, what, we all get fucked?

    Lieutenant Joan Dark: I'm right here. If you're gonna talk about me, have the balls to address me directly!

    Private Steven Winslow: You fucked up, Lieutenant! And now, we're all stuck here on a three-year tour of the fucking Doomed Moon!

    Captain Hector Savage: Alright, knock it off! Now, we succeed and fail as a unit. And if you think I can't find a worse place in the solar system to park your ass for a few years, try me.

  • Dr. Bennett Stone: [Joan and Bennett are waiting for an elevator to take them down to where the portal is; Joan smirks] What's funny?

    Lieutenant Joan Dark: Our first date? That restaurant you took me to was on the roof of that hotel. We had to take the stairs all the way because you were afraid of elevators.

    Dr. Bennett Stone: [Smirks] You remembered.

    Lieutenant Joan Dark: Never forgot. Anything.

    Dr. Bennett Stone: I hate to break it to you, but I... I'm still scared of elevators.

    [Both chuckle; when the elevator doors open, Bennett is immediately dragged in by an Imp as the doors close]
