| eye Weekly Adam Nayman  The film looks cheap (not in an endearing way) and the action scenes are standard-issue quick-cut affairs — the final multi-car-pileup is strictly Mild Max. | 5 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Take Mad Max, add elements of Escape from New York and I am Legend, insert a kick-ass heroine to rival Sigourney Weaver or Linda Hamilton, and employ strobe-like editing for the action sequences, and you have a fair approximation of Doomsday. | 5 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Doomsday is a pale imitation of previous futuristic thrillers, minus the cohesive narrative and charismatic leads. | 10 | |
