HD-DVD Review: Doom - Page 3

Rock Formation looks at what it took to dress the former pro wrestler in prosthetics for the final scenes. Doom Nation looks at the video game's legacy with many of G4TV's hosts. Many of the designers discuss the design and the effect it had on the industry as well. This is solid history piece for coming in under 15 minutes. On the other hand, Game On! runs through generic tips and tricks for the Doom 3 video game.

The final piece is aptly titled First Person Shooter Sequence. This looks at what will undoubtedly be the movie's trademark. As Keith Urban character begins an assault through his own eyes true to the game, it's a sequence that took 14 days to shoot and put together to create the final result that seamlessly looks like it was done in one take to the uninitiated. The only missing extra from the standard release is a demo for the Xbox version of Doom 3

If this HD-DVD proves anything, it's the power of the format to enhance the movie. With the added detail and especially with the audio, Doom is a better movie here that it was previously. Aside from the issues with film grain, this is a wonderful showcase disc for audiophiles and certainly the way to see the film if it's your first time.

    LOL, don't you mean Karl Urban? ;) Keith Urban is Nicole Kidman's country singer husband drying out at rehab somewhere.
