“Doom: Annihilation” (**1/2 out of four) was a generally entertaining reboot of the Id video game series about a group of UAC marines (Louis Mandylor, Amy Manson, Nina Bergman, and others) who respond to a distress call on a top-secret scientific laboratory on a martian moon and soon find it has been overrun by ravenous demons and that they’re on the menu. Lots of action and visual effects to give action and video-game fans their money’s worth; just don’t look for too much in the way of character development or a story. Either way, this is a definite improvement over the doomed 2005 disaster with The Rock.
