Brief Synopsis:
Something has gone wrong in a research facility on Mars, and the staff are becoming something unimaginable. All research has ceased and the facility has been placed in quarantine. Dr. Samantha Grimm have called in an elite squad of soldiers led by Sarge and includes Samantha's twin brother, John Grimm. No one is safe inside. As the team advance through the facility, and as they are picked off one-by-one, Dr. Grimm has one question: What exactly has caused this?
Intention:
To remove all the unnecessary dialogue throughout the movie to speed up the pace as well as bring a more serious tone and to make the movie worthy of being called Doom. I will also try to add things that bring back some nostalgia for many people that played the original games including myself.

Another belated review from me....so I watched this again.

Nowithstanding this is a tad dated in places, no deductions for that, this defo improved the original. It certainly is less clunky than the original and zips along at an aceptable pace. The re-scoring of te end credits is welcome and though a few more trims might be justified the fact is that the improvements would be minimal and no points deducted for that. I even find myself fancing an HD upgrade but hey, 17 years on...who knows. Now back to STEAM, and DOOM ETRERNAL!

As a fan of the original movie I gotta say I greatly enjoyed this fanedit. It's well paced, well edited and.fixes several flaws the original had.

This is a great streamlined version of Doom! A movie that should always be shorter and straight to the point! The only thing I would change is the new intro, but is a great edit!

Youngy really found a way to streamline the odd and akward bits of this underrated scifi horror thriller and bring the joy back into the experience. I really recommend it if you feel there's a missing chance in this movie that had everything to be amazing...except an editor with some talent (it's got one now).
