Doomsday
MOVIE PREVIEW
The year is 2008, and a
pandemic threatens to wipe out the whole of the human race. For
many in the United Kingdom--the epicenter of the outbreak--the
end is nigh, so why bother to keep count?
Within days of detection of the Reaper virus millions are
infected in Scotland, the killer disease home turf. Government
has no choice but to declare the country a hot zone and
quarantine the populace in hopes of containing the Reapers
spread. What was once Scotland is now a forgotten No Mans Land,
with the Reaper given free reign to annihilate the population
sealed inside. A quarter of a century later, with a new outbreak
of the Reaper resurfacing in London, it becomes apparent that
the governments best laid plans have gone completely, bloody
awry. Department of Domestic Security (DDS) Chief Bill Nelson is
summoned to meet with the prime minister and the true power
behind his office, Michael Canaris, who reveal satellite photos
of Reaper survivors in the hot zone. And survivors must mean
there's a cure. Nelson quickly assembles a crack team of
specialists to venture into the forsaken land and retrieve the
counteragent to the virus. For the tough and efficient
commanding officer, Major Eden Sinclair, the assignment
represents a disquieting homecoming. Twenty-five years earlier,
she
had been shoved into one of the last evacuating military
choppers and flown to safety--forced to leave her mother behind.
Once on the other side of the immediately re-secured border, the
squadron is on its own, venturing into a ghoulish terrain of
corpse-strewn, forlorn cities. All too soon, however, the crew
meets up with a pack of feral survivors, and finds itself
unwittingly standing in for the callous government that turned
its back years before.
Doomsday hits theaters on March 14th
2008.
