It's pretty clear by now that characters in sci-fi movies have never seen a sci-fi movie. Otherwise, tomorrowland marines like Sarge (The Rock, finally giving that eyebrow thing a rest), Reaper (The Lord of the Rings' Karl Urban), and the rest of their rescue squad would know that those suddenly dead scientists on the Martian archaeological outpost you know, the ones who experimented with chromosomes they found just lying around surely hatched something evil. Still, by hewing close to James Cameron's Aliens playbook, Doom manages to escape the game-to-movie curse that afflicted Resident Evil, House of the Dead, and, well, every other movie based on a game. And unless you've been keeping tabs on how The Rock's career choices mirror Ah-nuld's, there's a nifty reversal at the end that you won't see coming.
