Doomsday
“Mankind has an expiration date.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 63, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A quarantine mission in Scotland becomes a tour through punk warfare, medieval spectacle and outrageous road action. Neil Marshall keeps changing the kind of apocalypse on offer, giving the film the enthusiasm of a video-store shelf emptied into one very violent chase.

Synopsis and movie facts
The lethal Reaper virus spreads throughout Britain—infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands.
