DOOMSDAY

Cinemavixion Review

In an era saturated with doomsday prophecies, "Doomsday" from 2012, produced by The Asylum, attempts to capture the zeitgeist of the Mayan calendar's predicted end. Directed by Nick Everhart, the film follows four individuals whose personal journeys of faith intersect amidst global chaos and NASA's frantic efforts to avert a polar shift. While the premise taps into a potent cultural anxiety, the execution, featuring a cast including Cliff De Young, Dale Midkiff, and Ami Dolenz, seems more focused on the apocalyptic fervor than on deep character exploration. It's a film that aims to reflect the anxieties of its time, offering a speculative glimpse into a world on the brink.
