Doom Movie Watch Order in the correct order

How to watch the Doom movies in order

Last updated: September 28 2026

The legendary video game has been adapted into two very different films. Here's how the Doom movies fit together.

Based on id Software's genre-defining shooter, the Doom films bring demonic invasions of Mars-based research facilities to the screen. The 2005 film starred Dwayne Johnson, while a separate 2019 release rebooted the concept for streaming. The 2005 film is best remembered for a celebrated first-person-shooter sequence that pays homage to the game, while the 2019 reboot aimed for a leaner, streaming-focused horror-action tone.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order shows the two separate attempts to adapt the game.

  1. Doom (2005)
  2. Doom: Annihilation (2019)

The two films are unconnected reboots rather than a continuous story.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

There's no shared timeline β€” each film is a standalone adaptation of the game's premise.

  1. Doom (2005) β€” standalone adaptation
  2. Doom: Annihilation (2019) β€” separate reboot

Which Order Should You Choose?

These aren't sequels, so you can watch them in either order. The 2005 film with Dwayne Johnson is the bigger-budget, more recognizable version, while Doom: Annihilation is a lower-budget reboot. If you only watch one, make it the 2005 original. Because neither film is essential viewing for the other, you can treat them independently, though the 2005 version remains the definitive big-screen take on id Software's iconic shooter.
