Jan 16 2008'Doomsday' is a Stereotypical Post-Apocalyptic Prison World

It makes perfect sense that, presented with a contagious, deadly virus, mankind may be forced to take the inhumane route of quarantining those infected (and Scotland seems like as good a place as any). Where I start to question the plot to Doomsday is when it's revealed that, having apparently found a cure, the quarantined set about creating the most cliched post-apocalyptic society imaginable instead of, say, finding a way out of their pen. And when the virus shows up in the outside world, it again seems unlikely that a shapely young lady in gym spandex is the best candidate to enter the quarantined zone--its inhabitants now a violent tribe, equal parts Mad Max and Gwar tribute band--to bring back the cure. Will Rhona Mitra succeed, saving the world? If gratuitous ass shots are any indication, then yes.
