Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 11/11/2008
In the mid-1960s, with Dalekmania sweeping Britain, BBC TV's Doctor Who materialized on the silver screen. Doctor Who and the Daleks replaced William Hartnell with Peter Cushing and remade the Daleks' TV debut with a much bigger budget in Technicolor and Techniscope. With his two granddaughters, Roberta Tovey and Jennie Linden (and Roy Castle along for comic relief), the Doctor becomes an intermediary in a conflict between the robotic Daleks and angelic Thals on the almost-dead world of Skaro. A huge hit on release, the film remains an enjoyable, well-produced family adventure, though somewhat lacking the menace of the TV original. --Gary S. Dalkin

Rating:  - DR. Who and The Daleks
While still markedly different from the BRITISH SERIES Peter Cushing's performance as (the human) DOCTOR WHO is still fun.
Rating:  - It's a Dalektable lark
This 1965 film and it's 1966 sequel "Daleks-Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.". Were made cheaply and quickly to capitilise on the immense success the Daleks were having on the kids of Britain at that time.(Myself included)
You could buy Dalek toys, sweets, wallpaper, Pyjamas and slippers, sounds familiar doesn't it?
The reason the Doctor was changed to an eccentric "Professor type" from an Alien were for reasons of simplicity. At that time the Doctor Who TV show was not playing in as many countries ... Read More
Rating:  - A curiosity piece for Doctor Who fans
Although I'm a great fan of Peter Cushing, I would have much preferred the original cast of the show in this feature film version of the Doctor's first encounter with The Daleks. My biggest complaint is the way the character of the Doctor has been rewritten for the movie. Instead of a Time Lord from another world, in the movie you get the impression that the Doctor is nothing more than an eccentric inventor. He is not nearly as interesting a character. Cushing plays the Doctor as a lovable, doddering ... Read More

Rating:  - A Sad Recreation
Overall, this movie was not impressive. The characters seemed to be too stereotypical for my tastes, with the eccentric inventor, the hapless but cute girls, and the clutsy but well-meaning guy.
Gone is the mystery of the Doctor and Susan's origins. Gone is the darkness of the script. I know, I know, the original series was a bit lame, but that's because of the budget. The script by itself was suspenseful. This recreation had none of that.
In fact, the only thing I find likable about this was the ... Read More
