I made a terrible mistake. I forgot the corollary to THE RULE. THE RULE is that video games based on movies* suck. The corollary, of course, is that all movies based on video games suck.
I watched Doom. It came up on my netflix queue. I have to thinkk about THE RULE from now on when I rent a movie.
At least I didn't buy it. That would have been truly horrifying.
I did think the 5:30 minute FPS sequence was pretty cool, but it didn't save the rest of a very bad, very predictable movie.
I also watched Star Trek: Insurrection, which was just like watching an oversized episode. The new naming convention has confused me, but that must have been an even-numbered release, right?

* except Chronicles of Riddick, Escape from Butcher Bay. That game rocks.
