Synopsis:
The darkest and most scariest version of DOOM you will ever watch. Gone are the lame jokes and the bad acting. The plot has been corrected to really work for what this is: A terrifying and cool monster hunt on Mars.
Intention:
I tried to make this a scarier, darker, less funny experience, pretty much in the spirit of ALIENS. This is not supposed to be a video game movie anymore. It is supposed to be a true horror/action movie. Therefore I cut a lot of nonsense and crap, most of all the ego shooter sequence, which just did not fit to the overall atmosphere, and the teasing scene between Duke and Samantha, which was really hard to take because of bad acting. My edit is based on Scaperat’s ideas and his fanedit: Doom – the posessed cut. I made this edition with his authorization.
Release Information:
- DVD
- Digital
Special Features:
2 deleted scenes
Cuts and Additions:
Added intro sequence using scenes from Resident Evil and Doom Trailer.
Removed white shoes.
Removed legs cutting scene.
Removed strip search thread.
Removed Mac scene.
Removed Dr Grimm and Duke teasing.
Removed Reaper flashback.
Kept C24 explanation (which is a huge difference to Scaperat’s first edit).
Removed almost the entire Ego Shooter sequence, except for plot.
Re-arranged ego shooter leftover.
Re-sounded ego shooter leftover.
Removed flying sequence from showdown.
Added new end credits

First off, thanks to someone who reupped this.
Never played the game. Disliked the movie (bought from the $2.00 junk pile)
Per the editor's intentions:
Darker? Yes, the film was darker. Jokes excised, the mood stayed grim throughout.
Scarier? Maybe. There was greater tension, though I never cared for a single character so I was never fearful or concerned for them.
More sinister? No, I never thought that. Sinister would imply an evil agenda, and the narrative skirted this, rather than pushing it closer to the fore.
Audio editing was top shelf. No glitches, nothing weird. Listened through headphones.
Video equally fine. Seamless, nothing jarring, no artifacts or sloppy work.
The bonus extras I could have done without.
The shooter POV is direct homage to the popular game. I am betting there is a percentage of guys who loved that bit, and sighed during the bonus, "Aw man, my favorite part."
And the lame flirt scene between Duke & Samantha? Should never have been included. That was the last thing I saw, and it left a sour taste.
The quality of the edit was great, and CBB's work is holding up, eight years out.

doom a game with a storyline good enough for a really fun movie.
doom the movie is an awful movie that destroyed that fun story.
there is not much that can be done to make doom a good movie.
but CBB done a really good job at making it as good as it will ever be, this is the version i will always go to, this edit makes a really bad movie into a good movie.
the video quality is average but the editing is top notch.
the audio quality is excellent.
i think CBB has cut everything he could and it was all the right decision.
this is really good work.
if you are going to watch doom for the first time or re watch it this is the version to watch.

This is masterfully done, hands down. While there are still things that are a bit cringe worthy, the source material cannot be overcome with that aspect… and that’s fine. However, the overall ambient theme of this edition is far superior to the original.
10 out of 10.

Doom… The shooter everyone loves, the film everyone loves to hate.
When I first read about a Doom film being released, I couldn’t help but feel both ways: excitement, and pre-emptive disappointment.
Films like that are bound to be shot down before they can even take flight properly. Especially if they star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
The original film had its moment but was an annoying action film with horror twists, at best.
Johnson was seriously overacting as the film progressed, and Richard Brake’s character Portman was annoying more than anything else.
Although I don’t always blame the actors –Brake’s actually a good actor himself– it was obvious that he wasn’t really trying to come off as convincing.
Either that, or he was having too much fun being obnoxious.
Having said that, there were two things I thought the film could have done without:
1. Portman’s antics
2. Sarge’s swearing
* CBB’s edit takes away much, if not everything, of the previous, but sadly leaves the latter intact.
I would have liked to have seen an edit that would cut out most of Sarge’s early swearing, to have him start swearing as the film progressed,
somewhat displaying his growing anger and disappointment on not having the situation under control.
* Portman’s white golf shoes and ‘level 5 quarantine frisk search’ perversities were about all could take the first fifteen minutes.
(Although Duke trying to hit on Samantha came in a seriously close second.)
* Karl Urban obviously carried what little was left of this film, and did a more than okay job.
* Pinky (what’s in a name?) wasn’t much of an addition either, and I wouldn’t have cared if CBB had just cut him out completely after everyone else overheard him being attacked in the com room. The part where Portman is yanked off the toilet always seemed very weird to me, in that sense. Portman is dangling upside down, which always made me feel as if that was the director’s attempt at being funny, with Pinky giving the screen a quick glimpse, and chuckling.
It’s quite embarrassing to admit, but I never quite got the meaning of that scene, until I started contemplating it after having seen CBB’s edit.
The slight chuckle was needed to show Pinky was actually enjoying seeing Portman die, thus confirming his psychotic side.
Cutting out Pinky completely after the attack would be difficult, but it would also allow the editor to get rid of both Portman hanging upside down, and Pinky laughing about it. That way, Portman’s death could be confirmed only via the screaming they hear on their coms. Which would have been a nice edit.
Anyway, since I’m drifting off… Here’s the final showdown:
TECHNICAL ASPECTS
VIDEO:
Couldn’t notice a single glitch, hiccup, hard cut or anything of the kind (not that I was looking for them).
The Ego shooter sequence could have been dropped completely in my opinion but, as mentioned before, was somewhat pivotal to move the story along.
That said, I didn’t really like the way the first person view blended in with the emergency light. It kind of seemed forced, not having another window to do a better edit.
Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
AUDIO:
Again, no flaws here. Everything was fine.
Overall:
5 out of 5 stars
PRESENTATION:
Compared to other CBB edits, the menu seemed kind of dull to me, and rather disappointed me. I was really expecting another CBB gem here.
Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
FINAL SCORE: 4 out of 5 stars
For what the edit is worth, it receives 4 stars. It remains a rather bad film, but the edit makes it more bearable.

I’m not as enthusiastic about this cut then others. It’s true that this edit cut out a lot of the crap from the original, but it wasn’t significantly better. It doesn’t make the film great. It’s not really scary or terrifying. It did make the film more watchable, so it succeeds on that end. As much as this turd can be polished, it’s still just a straight action movie. The source material can’t be raised much higher
movie – 7/10
