Rosamund Pike takes herself too seriously.
She just cares a lot.
One of my favorite movie moments of all time was getting to see her tits in Gone Girl. I felt like my life finally made some sense once I saw them.
The people casting her in roles also take her, and other things, that seriously.
Doom is my guilty pleasure. It’s just fun. Like Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift and Pacific Rim. I’m not watching it for the writing.
I think it might have even been better received if they simply named it “Resident Evil in Space,” instead of forcing it to be Doom.
It was not written to be Doom, they just tweaked some generic sci-fi script to sell it with the name and ended up feeling more Resident Evilish than Doom. Aside from the short 1st person action sequence near the end.
Yeah it had a loose association but I loved the first person sequence.
That’s funny, because Rosamund Pike’s parts are easily the most watchable in Doom.
Several times she and Karl Urban nearly elevate it to something more interesting, before jump scares or weird camera cut-aways return it to being predicable sci-fi action horror.
I find that Doom is the exception that proves the rule - If Rosamund Pike is in something, it is probably at least watchable. (Sorry Doom movie fans. It didn’t work for me.)
I didn’t even remember that they made a Doom movie until I read this headline.
Not like “Return to sender”…
Dexter Fletcher turned into a grotesque pink blob and directed Bohemian Rhapsody.
