I noticed only one thing about the preview. The Rock has "semper fi" tatooed across his back but the voice over said "good luck, soldier".

He's a Marine -- not a frickin' soldier. Idiots.

And these guys SO ripped off the idea used for "Shaun Of The Dead"'s climactic shootout.
(EDIT: I of course mean the P.O.V shots, not the plot.)

and here was me figuring the P.O.V shots were in it as it was based on a first person shooter which uses the same P.O.V...dumb old me huh?

As in they took the *filming technique* from them.
I.e: Strapping a film camera to someone's chest while their arms operate the guns.

The "game used the P.O.V" is a no-brainer. DOOM used that too, but hey, not first. They got the idea from Wolf3D after all.

Wolfenstein was made by the same company as Doom, ID, so I wouldn't exactly say they got the idea from it. And I'm pretty sure W3D wasnt the first first-person shooter, just the first famous one.

Oh, and the movie looks like garbage.
