I didn't get the chance to see Escape from New York in the theaters but I did get to see Escape from L.A. I loved them both. It is a movie that shows you can take the best elements from different sci-fi action movies and blender them up into a really fun frothy, bloody good time. Rhona Mitra is excellent as the modern Snake Plissken- Eden Sinclair. And she fights the good fight throughout the film. With swords and axes. And kudos to director Neil Marshall for never making her a sex object in her battles. She just kicks butt. She ventures into a Closed off Country looking for a cure to a deadly and disgusting disease. London officials believe there are survivors who may have it. In goes Eden with her team only to find the country has split into two. Those who live in medieval times - complete with castle and sword. And those who live in post Apocalypse - complete with Mohawk and .. oh yeah sword. Either way no one is friendly. It's all a bit mindless and gory but it is a the most fun I've had in the theater in a long time and the action is gritty. Never resorting to Matrix style shenanigans.Read full review
This is one the best movies i've seen in a long time. This movie had everything in it. From both extremes of the spectrum. Sol played by Craig Conway added so much life to this movie, his enthusiasm in his character was off the charts, I don't think anybody could have done a better job. As for the lead actress Rhona Mitra, she did an outstanding job, her performance was incredible. The only thing I wish this movie had more of was Lee-Anne Liebenburg who played Viper, (the crazy looking girl with the tattoos on her face and is in all the trailers) but from what I saw in the way of Viper, she gave a superb performance. DoomsDay had all the right elements to a killer movie, everything about it was done in such a way that it will make your adrenaline pump throughout the entire movie. Doomsday is a love letter to 70's and 80's classics like Mad Max and Escape From New York. It's pretty reminiscent of Grindhouse: Planet Terror, so if you enjoyed that modern cult classic, you could get some kicks out of this one too.Read full review
A love letter of a movie: b-movie genre mashup with A level production and talent. SO MUCH CRAZY VIOLENCE AND ACTION! It's nonstop zany madness and I adore it.

I like science fiction movies, but this one I did not like. It is full of gore and violence. It should not be viewed by anyone under 18 years of age. It was disturbing and I stopped it after only 15 minutes of viewing. If you like watching people get shot at point blank range then you won't be disappointed. Up close view of a man having half his head blown off in a hostage situation was shown. The inhumanity of man to man is the only take away. The plot was unplauseable. The acting poor. The characters undeveloped. Rehashed scenes noted that were played much better in their original movies. All this at a Blu Ray price of $34.95.
Good movie! I enjoyed it very much!
