I think that, if Doom 2016 wasn't so checklist bound, it'd qualify as sublime art - it's the best answer I've seen to the question "What would Aliens look like if it were a video game?"
LeChuck's Revenge is up there, too, IMO - both versions.
- Jtsummers 10y agoI haven't played that version of Doom. But I have to ask, is Aliens sublime art?
- cholantesh 10y agoI presumed that that was the version which GP was referring to because the other ones are also dated to 2016. And I chose to mention it because Ebert rated Aliens highly, at 3.5/4. In retrospect, that may not qualify it as sublime art as opposed to a really good film. I'd have to refresh my memory of Ebert's scale.
- shuntress 10y agoI was actually trying to tacitly refer to both the original and 2016 version because they both can apply to this discussion for different reasons. I think my main take away from 2016 is that it is nearly flawless execution of an equally well-understood concept with an attention to detail that can rival anything to which it may be compared. What I actually consider most impressive about the original is the marvelous ingenuity of its 'construction' which I think is more deserving of comparison to architecture than film.
