Doom

This movie is not good. I say this first so the reader is not fooled by my high rating. For some people, bad movies can be so good that they bear repeated viewings. Doom is such a film. The movie is based loosely on the video game of the same title.

Man has found evidence that humans used to live and exist on Mars. They traveled to Earth for unknown reasons using a system they developed called "The Ark." Modern Earth humans discovered The Ark in Nevada and set up a base and archaeological dig at a base called Olduvai. Although there were set-backs initially-?perfecting Ark travel, cave-ins at the dig, etc.-?man persevered and found that some human remains harbored a genetically-engineered extra chromosome. Scientists have been researching and testing their version of Chromosome 24 on murderers and convicts. This was unwise.

Ten percent of the human genome is unmapped. According to some research, this 10% could be the genetic marker for the soul. Dr. Grimm is put in charge of the Marine Unit sent to Olduvai to investigate scientist disappearance and recover the missing scientists' research data. John Grimm
