Skip it. Doomsday is Neil Marshall's schlocky mid-2000s action flick that tries to be a post-apocalyptic thriller but comes across as a mishmash of better movies (28 Days Later, Mad Max, Escape from New York). Even if you dig B-movie action, the tired premise and forgettable cast make it a hard pass when you've got countless sharper genre picks available.

Plot

The lethal Reaper virus spreads throughout Britain—infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. Authorities brutally and successfully quarantine the country but, three decades later, the virus resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

Director: Neil Marshall

Cast: Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Adrian Lester, Alexander Siddig, David O'Hara
