A team of space marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, led by Sarge, is sent to a science facility on Mars after somebody reports a security breach. There, they learn that the alert came after a test subject, a mass murderer purposefully injected with alien DNA, broke free and began killing people. Dr. Grimm, who is related to team member Reaper, informs them all that the chromosome can mutate humans into monsters -- and is highly infectious.

Rosamund Pike Says Dwayne Johnson Film Doom Is Among 'The Worst Movies Ever' | HuffPost UK Entertainment

"It was a catastrophe, I think," the Saltburn star claimed.

Not A Skirt Person? Shop These 13 Wide-Legged And Cropped Trousers For Summer Rosamund Pike got very honest about the making of Doom while reflecting on the early years of her career in a recent interview. Last month, the Oscar nominee made an appearance on Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail , where she was asked about some of the action movies she took part in early on in her screen career. “It started well with James Bond,” she began, referring to her “promising start” in the movie Die Another Day , but admitted that things soon took a downward turn. Rosamund pointed out that, initially, the film would have seen Ray Winstone in the lead role, who was subsequently replaced by Dwayne Johnson , who was still being credited as “The Rock” at this time in his own acting career. “As I say, I don’t read the reviews, but you get the sense like you are lucky to have survived that one. But then, it wasn’t career-ending for The Rock. Or me, as it turned out.” Doom was rebooted in 2019 with a new cast, although the movie ended up being released direct-to-video.
