I'm someone who appreciates a good movie and I can honestly say this is the worst one I've ever seen. I first saw it with my father after a friend of his gave him a copy. As he did this he said it was probably the worst film ever made. He was right. This film is classified as a Sci-fi, the production however makes it a comedy. I think the explosion scene in which they set fire to a ball and passed it off as the world exploding says it all.

I agree. "The Doomsday Machine" is absolutely dreadful. I've seen more than my fair share of stinkers, but this crud rates highly as one of the all-time worst pieces of crap I have ever had the grim misfortune to watch.
"Warren Oates died for our sins"
I have a to say this is a stinker, but like local-shopper i watched an even more horrible sc-fi epic with my dad titled Horror of the Blood Monsters which is far worse than this farce.
shareYep! This movies choked cheese, but I was intertained.. (Up till the final 20 minutes when the entire movie becomes one big voice-over fest.
I did see Mike Farrel, but I never saw Kasey Casem,,, Where was he..?
Trust me,

casey kasem was the announcer or whatever. he was the one counting down.
this movie was not worse than plan 9 from outer space.
and i have to give any of the blood island movies a bit more props than this for sheer environment and scenic views.
And yet, five years after initial filming, some genius thought that it was very important to finish this abomination. An ending was shot. My question is: how can such a creation make ANY money in theatrical release? I got a cheap dvd of Doomsday from Amazon for about $5. Wasn't expecting Spacecitizen Kane, but this was really,truly terrible!
shareI got it in a 50-movie boxed set, at about 30 cents per movie. That was... about right. The plot concept wasn't all that bad, and I can appreciate an extremely low-budget execution, but the end... this movie's conclusion made the worst of SNL sketches seem like Peabody Award contenders by comparison:
"Where's the Astra?"
"The ship you're referring to no longer exists."
Say WHAT?
I did like how Bobby Van's character's voice dropped about an octave & a half in the last reel. I'm guessing they had an oxygen/nitrous oxide mix in those air tanks.

I agree that the plot without the Grant Williams' character tantrums or the ending(most bizarre ever?)was alright. The way the sexes interacted was from a previous era(or one that was quickly ending). Still, no decade ends just because the calendar indicates that it's over. I can actually watch this without falling asleep. Realize that previous sentence makes me look bad.
shareAre U bad or just good in the sack?
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
I just watched it riffed on Cinema Titanic. What makes it so bad to me is the fact it's not a complete movie. There was no point in finishing it.

System had a glitch so excuse the double post should it appear.
My in depth review.
I watched it, it ended. And then: BAM!

It is a wild experience in every way. The abrupt presentation of cute mates for the young lads was a hoot. Fun stuff.
