Movie Reviews of Doctor Who Dalek War (Frontier in Space / Planet of the Daleks)
Movie Review: Hours of fun...
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only do you have two huge story arches but tons of extras including commentary from Katy Manning, Prentis Hancock, Barry Letts, Terrance Dicks, and Tim Preece. Also, the Third Doctor happens to be one of the best - at least nobody can say he was boring or lacked personality. I enjoyed the complex and realistic story line in the first arch, even if there are some plot holes, and just love the Daleks. So you can guess I really enjoyed the second story arch. I enjoy science fiction, I enjoy space opera, aliens, cool spaceship models and, in general, also think Jo Grant really evolves in these episodes.
True, I think bringing in the Thals was a mistake. They don't seem to be very good at fighting, their ships don't seem made for space travel, and they don't seem very organized. I can only assume, as they don't appear in later stories, that they get wiped out by the Daleks or some other alien race.
Terry Nation brings back all his favorite ploys - germ warfare, jungles, invisible creatures, you get the idea. Very classic in a way. But unless you love the Daleks you may not be too happy with Planet of the Daleks. And that means you may not be happy with the whole set. Because it really is a two part story arch and if you buy four DVDs and don`t like two of them, that is a waste of your time and money.
All in color, finally, 243 minutes, with the Third Doctor and Jo, played by Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning, with the guest star of Roger Delgado playing his Master for the last time. That is A LOT of Doctor and, once again, if you are not a Dalek fan you may not wish to buy it.
