'''''Doomsday''''' is a gleefully derivative [[After the End|post-apocalyptic]] sci-fi action movie, written and directed by Neil Marshall (director of ''[[Dog Soldiers]]'' and ''[[The Descent (film)|The Descent]]'').
In the present day, after an outbreak of [[The Plague|deadly killer face-rot]] in Glasgow, Scotland as a whole is walled off and the general population left to... well... rot. The rest of the world thinks this is [[Moral Event Horizon|going a little too far]], and respond by turning their backs on Britain as whole. On the last helicopter out of Scotland is a little girl who's just taken a bullet to the face, given to the custody of soldiers by her desperate mother...
Fast forward to [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|
Too bad the surviving population of Scotland are not feeling particularly fond of the nation that abandoned them...

* [[Action Girl]]: Eden Sinclair. Kick-boxing sharp-shooting one-eyed [[Badass]].
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[George Lucas Throwback]]: Marshall basically made this film to show off his love for dystopian science fiction movies from [[The Eighties]].
* [[Gorn]]
* [[Great Wall]]: In response to the appearance of a deadly plague in Scotland the UK builds a sixty-foot wall with automated weapons emplacements to separate it from the rest of Great Britain. While it's successful at keeping ''people'' from crossing, it doesn't stop the ''virus''.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: The movie's establishing raid sequence includes, among other things, Eden shooting a hot naked chick dead in her bathtub...[[Beyond the Impossible|THROUGH THE CERAMIC]].
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: It seems werewolves aren't the only thing [[Dog Soldiers|Wells, Spoon, and Joe]] have to worry about...
