Preview: Doomsday (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

The famed red-black-and-white I complained about last year. You truly can never get away from these colors. What the symbol has to do with the film would require a full viewing, but it's stylized much like the poster for William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, but a lot less cluttered. Perhaps they crossed that film's poster with that used for 28 Days Later... to make this poster.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

The concept is interesting, but we've already seen post-apocalyptic films about killer diseases. The trailer makes this look like Mad Max meets 28 Weeks Later.

Oscar Prospects:

If neither of those similar films could figure in at the Oscars, this one won't either.

Release Date:

• March 14, 2008
