Review Quotes
"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 from eFilmmCritic
"Doomsday is an anarchic trip down memory lane." — Rudy Joggerst from Reel.com
"One caveat: The film has more blood-splatter than a dozen zombie movies. If you can handle that, Doomsday's drunken mash-up of futuristic and feudal is surprisingly satisfying." — David Hiltbrand from Philadelphia Inquirer
"Marshall delivers what he promises and Mitri makes for a cool, kick-arse heroine in the Ellen Ripley mold." — Ken Fox from TVGuide
