Doomsday 2008

A proudly British post-apocalyptic sci-fi / fantasy / action / adventure flick. Seemed like this one couldn't settle on a specific movie to rip off, so it just grabbed a fistful of mismatched favorites and crammed them all together into one big, horribly jumbled mess. I think it's safe to say this is the first time a film has ever transitioned from Outbreak to 28 Days Later to Children of Men to Escape From New York to Lord of the Rings to Gladiator before finally settling in with Mad Max for the grand finale.

By its third shift in cast, setting and theme, I'd written the whole thing off and was content to just sit back and enjoy the train wreck. If you've ever been browsing the shelves and thought to yourself "I'm really in the mood for a cannibalistic, choreographed, ska-based dance number set in the charred remains of the Thunderdome," well, look no further. High marks for the visuals, though, which were about the only reason anyone should give this one a second thought.
