The Doom Generation Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
sol- Sometimes "reality is more twisted than dreams" states the male protagonist of this motion picture in which strange and cataclysmic things start happening to two young lovers after they pick up a slightly deranged drifter. The film almost defies description, but is perhaps best thought of as something that Joseph Minion ('After Hours'; 'Motorama') might write after watching 'Southland Tales' with the trio encountering increasingly weird and unhinged individuals on an increasingly apocalyptic journey, at least half of whom seem to mistake the female protagonist as someone from their past. The price $6.66 keeps recurring too, and the way the drifter constantly seems on the cusp of seducing both the young lovers, there is room to wonder if he is meant to be some sort of demon or devil or something else. Writer-director Gregg Araki provides no clear-cut answers though, and unlike his latter equally weird and apocalyptic 'Nowhere', this earlier effort does not benefit so much from the ambiguity since it is less of a character study than 'Nowhere'. As pure entertainment though, 'The Doom Generation' works much better with so much unadulterated weirdness in the mix that there is never a boring moment be had. James Duval's final scene is unforgettable too, with strobe lighting effects enhancing the pure horror of it. The film offers a refreshingly different take on teen romance with characters who debate the fact that "I love you" can mean different things and whose running away together proves anything but romantic in a traditional sense.
Iris Hall -You could find a minimal spoiler-It is a cool movie full of memorable quotes and phrases. It has a strange topic and it makes no sense, but it also has that special ingredient to make it interesting. The three main characters are very special and they make connections through the lighter which is a curious detail. It is a teenage movie, a cult of messed up teens and dark comedy with edgy hotel rooms and rude language. It is the kind of movie that makes you wish you meet people like that and have almost the same adventures Another thing that makes it special is the details, it is full of them!We can call it a 'cult' movie.
thebitterend1981 This is one of those great, special movies that came from the 90's wasteland. The script is insane, the cast are sexy, and it just feels like the perfect slice of late 90's desolation.If you're not into edgy, confronting subject matter, It's definitely not for you, but i like my films a little bit dangerous and out of control, and that's exactly what The Doom Generation is; out of control.Sure, there are plot points that don't quite fit, but they don't have to. The movie perfectly complements the emotional landscape of the characters. It's crazy, over sexed self absorbed angst with a side serving of nihilism. Accept it for what it is and enjoy it. Not enough films take the risks they used to, and i applaud The Doom Generation for being what it needs to be, the same way Natural Born Killers did.
Reaper Worth a look if you absolutely positively must see Rose McGowan naked in various degrading situations, but not worth watching otherwise. This movie is not merely bad, but bad AND pretentious. The kind of movie that would have gotten the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment, if they could have cleaned the profanity from the soundtrack. The symbolism is laid on with a trowel; Araki must have learned that directors sometimes use color as a motif, so he saturates every frame with reds and blues and yellows. The number 666 appears numerous times - whoa! Symbol! Various sets have pithy signs on the wall - whoa! Symbol! The movie has its fans, but I simply cannot see why. Maybe Araki isn't the Ed Wood of our time, but then again, maybe he is.
