This is a low budget direct-to-video reboot (ignoring the previous Doom movie).

A research base on Phobos goes silent just as a transport arrives with replacement marines. They are quickly re-tasked to discover what went wrong and restart the nuclear reactor before it explodes. There are nine marines and a tag-along scientist.

• Captain Savage (James Weber Brown) - an old-timer who has decided to retire after this tour.
• Lt Joan Dark (Amy Manson) - second-in-command, just escaped a court-martial after a disastrous mission.
• Dr Bennet Stone (Luke Allen-Gale) - the scientist who dated Dark a decade ago.

As they explore the research base they find dead and mutilated bodies, surviving scientists, transformed killer scientists, and alien monsters. I like that you can tell what's going on as the characters split up and then are slowly killed off throughout the film. There are the usual homages to Doom such as big primary-colored keycards and plasma weapons.

Special effects are not great but serviceable. The creatures are practical effects though fireballs are not and the climactic scene with Dark fighting a horde of aliens is very obvious CGI. The ending is satisfying enough and sets up a sequel that can pick up exactly when this movie ends.

It's a low-expectations film and I think does all right.
