I just saw Doomsday and ...
Mar. 22nd, 2008 12:13 amI want Rhona Mitra to do terrible, terrible things to my body ... repeatedly.
As far as I'm concerned, Rhona Mitra is now the ultimate badass female action movie star.
*looks at Milla Jovovich, Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale and shrugs*
As for the movie itself, it was ... beautifully retarded.
That's a compliment, by the way :D
Doomsday is B movie making at it's best. It aims to deliver a fun, mindless, thrill-ride by shamelessly ripping off any movie it can (Mad Max, Mad Max: Thunder Dome, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Tomb Raider, The Chronicles of Riddick, just to name a few), and a fun, mindless, thrill-ride is what is delivered.
The movie does not wink at it's audience trying to convince them of how clever it is, and it's not weighted down with attempts at postmodern cleverness. It's just kickass action scenes (it has one of the best chick fights in recent memory), one-liners, Rhona Mitra looking criminally hot in her black tank-top of invincibility, exploding shit, and blood. It is highly illogical, there are plot craters, character development is non-existent and it is full of WTF moments, but I found it to be completely and utterly entertainingly.
It's like Planet Terror only better.
So, in conclusion Doomsday was no The Descent (which I have an insanely amount of love for), or even Dog Soldiers for that matter, but it was a fun, kickass movie, with a dead sexy ass kicking female lead ... and really, what more can you ask for?

In DOOMSDAY, a lethal virus spreads throughout a major country and kills hundreds of thousands. To contain the newly identified Reaper, the authorities brutally quarantine the country as it succumbs to fear and chaos.
The literal walling-off works for three decades – until Reaper violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, including Eden Sinclair (Ms. Mitra), 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.

Seriously though, not only does the film star Rhona Mitra it also stars Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir!!!!), MyAnna Buring & Nora-Jane Noone (Sam and Holly from "The Descent") Adrian Lester ("Hustle" and "Being Human"), and Alex fucking DeLarge, um I mean Malcolm fucking McDowell! And it's directed by Neil Marshall who has made two of my favorite horror films of recent years Dog Soliders and The Descent (which I love more than I have words to express)
All of this means, that not only do I get to see Rhona Mitra being sexy and beating up people on the big screen, I get to see her doing it in a good movie with an awesome cast. Score!
