Doomsday

Actors:  Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, David O’Hara, Craig Conway, Malcolm McDowell
Rating:  7 out of 10, A fairly big budgeted movie that just couldn’t figure out what it was.  It starts out as a biological apocalypse and then careens wildly from Escape from New York territory to medieval jousting to a Road Warrior finale.  I mean I’m all for wild men in flowing mohawks careening down the road but it has to make a little bit of sense – this doesn’t. All that being said Mitra is a kick ass heroine and uses her wandering eye to great effect.  This could have been epic but it just jumps around to much.  Even whacked out science fiction and fantasy such as this needs a base.  I still kind of sneakily liked it – what can I say – I’m a sucker for cannibalistic gladiator gals and you gotta love a guy who stays faithful to a beheaded girlfriend along for the ride.
MVP:  Rhona as Eden Sinclair, kicking ass and looking petulant whilst doing so
