I did see the "doom 3" film. It was okay, in a single-plot 2d character
predictable computer-game kind of way. I'm glad I hadn't paid cinema
prices, though - a rented DVD was enough.
Interestingly - it put me off putting any effort into getting the game.
Frankly, a good doom deathmatch was far more fun than the doom3 film.
