As a Baby Boomer who cut his milk teeth on the original series - I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Oh - how jaded we have become over the decades with CGI and Special Effects. I've rated a ten for originality and enthusiasm. Yes compared to today's standards some minor technical deficiencies but even still these special effects exceed those of the original series. However special effects will forever remain secondary to creativity and enthusiasm. Also I suspect that some reviewers faulted acting when it was more of an issue with viewer unfamiliarity with the characters rather than the actors themselves. Cheesy? Not at all. Story of redemption and affairs of the heart. Well scripted and well played.

Dr. Who reduced to a Hammer Horror B Movie. Stars Paul McGann as The Doctor and Eric Roberts as The Master. Apparently this is a US (FOX) attempt to reboot Dr. Who after the Brits had cancelled production. Watchable - but - barely.
