I was discussing this new doom movie coming out soon, the other night. Based on the minimum system requirements to the PC game, I’m guessing we’re going to need at least 5GHz brains to be able to watch it, and even then, we won’t appreciate all the special effects unless we have bio-genetically enhanced vision systems. Then, if you want to be able to understand the plot along the way, such that the ending of the movie ‘fits in’ with the beginning, then we’ll need to share our brain memories in parallel (such as with distributed computing) to get the jist of things.

But here’s the website of the new Doom movie, and reviews of it on the Internet Movie Database.

EDIT: Okay so I saw it with Paul and Paul last night. Verdict: pretty average. The plot was kind of interesting (although I could tell it to you in 30 seconds), the array of weaponary was enjoyable to say the least. However, the novelty factor of the movie being based on one of my favourite computer games wore off somewhat quickly, and the movie wasn’t even as scary as the game. 6.5/10
