Doom is my guilty pleasure. Itโ€™s just fun. Like Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift and Pacific Rim. Iโ€™m not watching it for the writing.

I think it might have even been better received if they simply named it โ€œResident Evil in Space,โ€ instead of forcing it to be Doom.

It was not written to be Doom, they just tweaked some generic sci-fi script to sell it with the name and ended up feeling more Resident Evilish than Doom. Aside from the short 1st person action sequence near the end.

Yeah it had a loose association but I loved the first person sequence.
