Doomsday was rubbish. It's nothing like Fallout.

EXACTLY! The CHARACTERS are what's mainly believeable! This TOPS the escape movies, are you SERIOUS? This is the 2000+ version of Mad Max for all you "haters" out there. I love Mad Max, they will never do another one, EVOLVE with the FILMS.

I thought they were making a new mad max movie.

Yeah, they were cruel, too. But they had a soft side. They tried to bargain for the oil, at least. And did you see the poor man mourn his slave-boy-lover-dude when he was killed after being hit in the head with the boomerang from hell that the kid had? They were pretty emotional, man.

Now the blokes in Doomsday? They would probably just eat them.

It can't beat any of those movies, since it drew inspiration from many of them

BTW, the movie "The Road" is coming out this year

Umm wow, just wow. Doomsday has to take the award for most deriative movie ever. Nothing in it it was even vaguely original. Even the remake of Deathrace 2000 was better.

This movie svcked. The only relation to Fallout is that if you watch long enough, you'll see what Raiders must live like. Which is sorta cool.
Besides that, it was very poorly written, derivative as hell, and is full of enough holes that you'll be wondering what the hell were they thinking when they wrote this.

Bad movie.
Bad, bad movie.

Too follow up, I watched Doomsday per the OP's advice. No offense but boy, if you think this movie is great then you have bad taste.

Arghhhh! Watched this film earlier as I'm a huge fan of the post-apocalypse genre and have to say it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was terrible, the characters horrible (what were Malcolm McDowell and Bob Hoskins doing here?!) and the dialogue appalling. The worst thing for me though was the car chase scene which was a complete Road Warrior rip-off, especially when she brakes suddenly, causing a bad guy to shoot an arrow into his friends arm.

I would not recommend this film to anyone! It may look pretty flashy, but it's completely hollow. I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be a comedy or not, like Dog Soldiers.

Sorry, rant over!

I can't believe no one has mentioned Tank Girl in this entire thread.

I only sort of liked Tank Girl.
Even if Doomsday svcks I'll probably watch it.
I liked Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome the best.
I also like Cyborg with Jean Claude VanDamme.
The opening line:
"I like the pain, I like the suffering, I LIKE THIS WORLD!"
I think the metal armor from the Fallout 1 was based on the villain's armor in this movie.

The first Mad Max film wasn't a very good film - I suspect most people are referring to the rather more iconic sequels. If Fallout 3 is any film, it's A Boy and His Dog - very much and recogniseably so - with a fair amount of Dr Strangelove thrown in, though yeah - it gets much of its imagery from the Mad Max sequels.

Doomsday, though ...

... ROCKS! It's just so much fun. Sure, it's ridiculous and convoluted and silly and a total rip-off of a million other things, but it's pure unadvlterated fun.

I got some vouchers for Christmas and it's top of my list of films to buy. :)

I can understand different tastes, but I can't understand how someone can like a film that has the hero(ine) in an I'm-so-cool-I-could-kill-you-with-a-smirk pose with an I'm-so-cool-I-could-kill-you-with-a-smirk smirk, and over the top arbitrary scenes.(Okay, a lot of/most films have the latter, but in this, it's just bad.)

I don't know Radioactive Dreams seems a little closer to Fallout than A Boy and his Dog. I wish I had a movie link to provide.

The first 15 minutes of Radioactive Dreams made me loose my will to live. The stupider of the two boys with his idiotic behavior and annoying/retarded voice was horrible.

Now, lemme get this started by saying. While this thread isn't dedicated to the whiners and criers here that "constantly" complain that the thread doesn't go in their favor, it will bring on some controversy and that's fine, so crai.

Now, by all means, I've been a fan of the Mad Max movies, the old Kurt Russell Escape From New York movie, A Boy and His Dog and many others relating to the "Fallout Feel," but NONE have even come close to comparing to the 2008 release, Doomsday.

I just finished watching the movie and could relate every single character, every single aspect of the movie to Fallout. There are ruins, there are raiders, there are mohawks, there are biker goggles, there are technology seekers, there are scientists, there are specialists, there are snipers, there are various uses of weapons, there are "armor-clad" warriors, there are cars, there are trains, there are cannibals, there is devastation, there is leather armor, these is technology and ultimaley, the source, the very meaning, as in every Fallout game ever released, there is a way to fix things... A cure. A way to make things... better. Plus! The most bad-ass post-apocalypic car chase scene you have ever seen your entire life...

While the movie doesn't take place after "Nuclear-Bombs" exploded, there is another reason for the end of the world and the survivors in this movie are the most realistic and BEST comparison to the Fallout series I've EVER seen. For those that are confused on what movies might relate to Fallout and want to watch a movie that is absolutely "today" and not the boring 1980s or even 1970s filmography, THIS is the movie for you. If you're a huge fan of the Fallout series, as I am and YOU haven't seen Doomsday.... Go rent/buy. It will place you directly in the seat of the vault dweller if you're one that can look past the aspect that a nuclear war didn't happen but a plague that wiped out the world instead.

Don't worry, the world still looks completely devastated and destroyed, as it should! Caution: The movie isn't for the faint-hearted and it shouldn't matter for Fallout fans anyways! This movie = Fallout 3

*Edit* Ah, as an endnote: For anybody that can give me a more accurate description of a Fallout "Raider" than this movie considering their party in Glasgow, please try.

at first i thought no way but you might be right. doomsday is pretty much just a compilation of scenes that were the Neil Marshall's favorite scenes from other apocalyptic movies and he just crammed them all together into one mass marketable film of fluff and plot holes without caring too much so long as it looked cool. so yeah you might have a point.

I think Mad Max is better than Road Warrior or Thunderdome, by a mile.
