Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2019 American science fiction action film called:
Doom: Annihilation. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
We start off in space, as a moon floats by. There’s a top secret base on the moon
called the UAC Delta Labs Division. Inside this lab, a scientist named
Dr. buh too guh walks through the halls. Next, we flash over to Earth and see another
underground lab in the desert. This lab has another scientist in charge,
Dr. Ahmed /aa-med/. There’s also a young man, who’s volunteered for an experiment. The man
walks up to a large black disk on the ground. It’s covered in strange red symbols. Alarms go off as
Dr. Betruger opens the gates and they fill with a strange red liquid. The young man walks into the
liquid and is teleported from Earth to the moon base. Everyone starts to celebrate but then alarms
go off and we see that the young man has sharp claws and looks like a zombie. He screams!
In the next scene, there’s a flashback to a dying woman in hospital. A woman wakes up in
a space bed. Her name is Lieutenant Joan Dark. A female robot voice talks to the Lieutenant
and says her name is Daisy. It’s the ship’s computer. Rock music plays as we see a spaceship,
The Nola, going through space. It’s carrying soldiers from Earth to Phobos, the Moon station.
Inside the ship, the pilot, Morgan makes some announcements and jokes with the crew.
Soon, we see the crew, sitting around a table talking. They are the typical cool
characters. There’s Private Li. She’s angry but pretty. Tarek, the handsome looking one,
trying to show off his muscles. Private Carley. She has cool, blue hair and has somehow learned
French while being in deep sleep. Sergeant Logan, the big strong-looking black guy. Private Winslow-
an Australian guy that loves to swear. There’s also, Harry. He’s just there not looking too
important. For some reason, Tarek mentions that he’s learnt eight ancient languages. They joke
around and then Lieutenant Dark walks in. Everyone goes quiet. The crew leave and the lieutenant
talks with Dr. Bennett. He must be the science guy. It looks like they dated in the past.
Back on the moon base, Dr. Betruger video calls Dr. Ahmed, on Earth. They
argue about telling their bosses about what happened. Dr. Betruger says he’ll
go through the gates in the next test. Meanwhile, in the Nola, the crew are briefed
by Captain Savage, he’s older but looks like a tough guy. Private Rance, one of the other crew,
makes a joke. He must be the funny one. Captain Savage shows a map of the moon base.
There are three levels. Level three has a nuclear reactor. Which the crew aren’t happy to hear
about. The captain tells the soldiers they are there for security. Winslow says bad words and
argues with Lieutenant Dark. You have to laugh at the acting in this movie; it’s terrible.
The crew walk off and get ready for the mission. Lieutenant Dark stays behind and talks with
Captain Savage. She messed up in the past. Soon after, we go back to the moon base and
see a new doctor, Veronica. She’s testing Dr. Betruger. They get ready to teleport the doctor
using the gates again. In the next scene, the crew gets ready while Captain Savage calls his family
and tells them he’s going to retire after this mission. Always a bad sign in a movie.
On the moon base, Dr. Betruger walks into the strange red liquid. As he does,
the power goes off and the scientists are hurt. We hear a growl and Veronica screams.
Later, the Nola lands at the space station and the pilot, Morgan, tries to radio the moon base. They
don’t answer. Daisy tries to contact them. They get a message saying to stay where they are. They
don’t listen and find an emergency entry gate. The crew has a meeting and action music plays as they
get their guns and get ready. They connect to the emergency entry gate. As they do the ship’s lights
flash and the power goes on and off. The ship’s computer restarts but Daisy sounds different.
The crew enter the moon base as Bennett sees there’s only two percent battery on the base.
He talks with Captain Savage and they break off into two teams.
Lieutenant Dark’s team goes to find the ship’s server and Dr. Bennett goes with the Captain.
On Level two, the team looks for the servers. They find some explosive barrels
and a chainsaw. Lieutenant Dark finds a corpse and calls the Captain. Tarek finds writing on the
wall in blood. He can’t read it, even though he knows eight ancient languages. They get
Daisy to translate it. Daisy translates and her voice keeps skipping. It sounds a bit scary.
Back on the Nola, the computer screen flashes and Daisy changes the maps the teams are following.
The teams turn around and you can tell that something isn’t right. Lieutenant Dark’s team are
in an engine room and Captain Savage’s team are in a garden room. Dramatic music plays as Tarek finds
a zombie eating someone. It’s a blue-gray color with sharp teeth. Li kills a zombie and we see the
Captain’s team has found some survivors: Veronica, a priest, and a scientist. Winslow kills a zombie
and Lieutenant Dark tells the captain that something killed Tarek. They check the zombie
bodies and while Li checks a zombie it gets up to attacker her, but Harry saves her.
Meanwhile, the scientist tries to warn the Captain but she’s attacked and killed by a zombie. Daisy
turns off the radios. Action music plays as both teams shoot and kill zombies. Winslow runs away,
leaving Lieutenant Dark alone. She shoots some explosive barrels and kills more zombies.
In the garden, we see Sergeant Logan screaming and shooting zombies, until he gets killed by
one. Lieutenant Dark kills more zombies and uses the chainsaw on one. Li is attacked and killed.
The priest is also attacked. Lots of action. In the next scene, Lieutenant Dark saves Winslow
from zombies and then punches him in the face. One of the team finds a survivor and the teams
eventually meet up in a hallway. They’ve left the Captain behind. He’s killing lots of zombies.
Lieutenant Dark goes to help the Captain, but he shoots the door closed and is killed by zombies.
Guess he’s not coming home after all. Bennett says they’ve found alien life
and we find out that Dr. Betruger is alive. Back on the Nola, Morgan talks with Daisy and says
they’ll leave. Daisy’s voice changes as she says no-one can leave. Morgan is attacked by a strange
blue looking alien. Meanwhile, Dr. Betruger tells the crew that scientists have been looking for a
new planet to live on for the last 30 years. They found alien teleportation gates. One on Earth and
one on this moon. The gates are very old and made of something that the scientists don’t understand,
that strange red liquid. The gates only work with technology the scientists have created. Dr.
Betruger says he doesn’t remember what happened when he went through the gates. The priest says
that fire demons came through the gates. The crew says they should leave, but the doctor
gets mad and yells. They all move out and we see that the power is now only one percent.
On some stairs, the priest and Lieutenant Dark talk about faith and what happened to her mum.
Later, the crew get back to the locked door and call Morgan. Daisy lets them on the ship
and Veronica takes the doctor to another room. Bennett talks with the crew and is excited about
what they found. The priest tells Harry that he was a soldier before. Daisy tells Lieutenant Dark
that Morgan is on the flight deck, but she finds his dead body. Harry is killed by a blue alien
creature and Lieutenant Dark is attacked by an alien that shoots a fireball at her.
Rance is killed by an alien and Winslow runs off again. This guy is such a coward!
In the next scene, Lieutenant Dark finds the priest’s body and gives Veronica a gun.
Later, Lieutenant Dark gets attacked by another alien and loud music plays in the background.
The alien tries to suck out her soul, but the priest shoots it. Oh, he’s not dead. Oh wait,
the alien shoots a fireball at him and he finally dies. After some more bad acting, of course!
Next, there’s a terrible action scene with more bad acting and effects. Winslow and Carly shoot
an alien lots of times in the head. As it flops around you can’t help but laugh.
Elsewhere, Dr. Betruger tells Veronica he doesn’t remember what happened.
She says she saw him disappear into the gate. Later, the crew has a meeting and makes a plan.
Dr. Betruger says they can use the gates to go to Earth and the crew argues. Lieutenant
Dark makes a plan and tells Bennett that she’s tricked the doctor so they can turn the power
back on. They all leave and we see that there is now less than 1 percent battery left.
Music plays as they make their way to the reactor room. Bennett tries to fix the power
as Dr. Betruger starts to tell everyone about the Lieutenant’s dark past. He loudly tells the
Lieutenant all the bad things the crew said about her. Bennett fixes the reactor and the power comes
back on. The doctor tells Veronica he remembers everything and stabs her. Somehow he escapes and
the crew are left to fight some aliens. Winslow is hit with a fireball and Carley is attacked.
Bennett shoots an alien and saves Carley. Winslow gets up but is hit with another fireball
and dies. Lieutenant Dark shoots an alien in the head 10 times! Just to be sure. Bennett holds
Carly as she dies. He looks heartbroken. Before she dies, Veronica gives Lieutenant
Dark a keycard and says that the doctor will be on Level 4. The lab is a secret level.
Lieutenant Dark finds a room with a big gun. The gun is named after a gun in the original
video games: The BFG 9000. It’s very powerful and shoots green plasma. It’s like a ray gun.
She takes the gun and some plasma grenades and gives her old gun to Bennett. Lieutenant Dark
turns on the gun and tells Bennett that she messed up before. He acts tough and they go looking for
the doctor. As they wait for the elevator they talk about their first date. Suddenly Bennett
is dragged into the elevator by an alien. Lieutenant Dark uses the BFG on some zombies
and an alien. It kills them easily. She gets in the elevator, uses the keycard,
and goes to level 4. When the doors open on level four,
we see the walls covered in blood and dead bodies everywhere. She opens a door
and finds the doctor on a computer. He calls in Bennett, who is now a …zombie. Surprise! Bennett
and Lieutenant Dark fight while the doctor explains that Earth was originally the home
of the aliens. They want it back. He turns on the gates and walks towards the red liquid. The
Lieutenant shoots Bennett, then shoots the doctor in the chest, and picks up a dropped keycard.
It isn’t over yet, the doctor didn’t die. He tells the Lieutenant, “you can’t kill what’s
already dead” and pushes her into the liquid. In the next scene we see the Lieutenant in another
world. It’s very dark and looks like hell. There’s dramatic music as she looks around
holding the BFG. Scary creatures with red eyes start to appear. The music builds as
a big creature is revealed. This must be the big boss. It’s very big, with sharp claws and
a fire burning in its chest and head. The creature knocks over the Lieutenant and she drops her gun.
The big creature tells the other demons that humans are a pest and they will all be killed.
The creatures go to attack the Lieutenant, but she picks up the gun and shoots the big creature in
the chest. It explodes and dies. That was easy! The Lieutenant runs from the creatures and drops
the keycard on the ground. Somehow that opens a portal behind her. Oh, yeah, technology. She
throws the grenades at the creatures and jumps through the portal. Things explode and we see
that she’s been transported back to the UAC lab in the desert. Dr. Ahmed tells her she’s safe.
Then he says that Dr. Betruger should be coming through the gates too. She tells them to shut
it down but they don’t listen. A soldier holds her back, as we hear alarms and see the gates
starting to open. The movie ends as we look at the gate opening and hear growls.
