DOOMSDAY

Cinemavixion Review

The Asylum's 'Doomsday,' released in 2012, taps into the widespread anxiety surrounding the Mayan calendar's prophecy of global apocalypse. Directed by Nick Everhart, the film follows four individuals whose personal quests for faith converge at an ancient Mexican temple amidst escalating worldwide chaos. As NASA scientists struggle to comprehend a catastrophic polar shift, the narrative focuses on the human element of confronting the end of days. While the film captures the apocalyptic fervor of the era, its direct-to-video production and limited scope may not fully satisfy those seeking a grand cinematic spectacle of the world's end.
