a good sequel

Advantages: a very entertaining film
Disadvantages: gets a little boring

Is there a chance of saving spocks memories by retrieving Spocks body from genesis. But a klingon bird of prey hears about genesis. And starfleet refuses to let kirk return. So what will kirk do and what will the klingons do? VERDICT A very good sequel ...
...film, repeating spocks death and funeral was great and the musical score was done fabulously by James Horner who did the nusic for the second film. The model shots for the enterprise , the bird of prey and space dock are just amazing. The story is a little confusing if you haven't seen the second film or if your not a trek fan but its an enjoyable film. But points are deducted because most of the scenes after space dock were on the bridge of the ...

Bats, Busoms & A dying Timelord

Advantages: Peri!
Disadvantages: A weird villain

...the story where Peter Davison's Doctor finally hangs up his sonic screwdriver after his time at the helm of the Tardis. Off to a planet where there are drugs, bats & a madman. You won't notice this if your male as you will most likely spend a lot of this story watching Peri (played blindingly well by the stunningly lovely Nicola Bryant who I was passionately in love with) and her amazing cleavage and tight fitting outfits. Peter has a great death ...
...as she leans over the Doctor as he's dying. Watch it with the commntary on and everyone mentions it! The story isn't brilliant, the characters aren't brilliant but it's classic Doctor Who and you can never expect to much from it. Be happy you have Nicola Bryant and her amazing busom to watch if your a guy. Enjoy Peter Davison's performance if your a lady. ...

Review of Doctor Who - The Caves Of Androzani (DVD)

Underwhelming sequel still has its moments

Advantages: Retains some sense of enigma
Disadvantages: Poor special effects, poor music, poor acting, poor directing

...subtitles and scene access. 2010 isn't so much the year we make contact as the year the Space Odyssey story continues. After the USS Discovery spaceship was lost near Jupiter with its computer malfunctioned and its crew missing or dead, a joint US-USSR mission is sent out to discover what happened. Their only clue is the last transmission of the astronaut David Bowman - "My God, it's full of stars!" The story begins with the enigmatic atmosphere ...
...of a powerful cosmic mystery, 2010 ploughs linearly through a step-by-step revealing of 2001's secrets in a way that betrays the depth of its questions by delivering overly simplistic answers. We discover why the HAL 9000 computer malfunctioned, and some of what happened to David Bowman - but thankfully the film leaves several questions open - and this is better than it answering every question in the same overly simplistic manner. Directed by Peter ...

How Many Killings?

Advantages: Again, again with the Daleks. You may be a fan.
Disadvantages: A disappointing confrontation for Davison's Doctor.

...his departure. After Tom Baker's Doctor succeeded in beating him a second time, the megalomaniac cyborg was sentenced to imprisonment in suspended animation - not execution of course, as that would prevent him from acquiring an inevitable means of escape at a later date and permitting the Doctor Who writers another desperate attempt to win back viewers with the ever-popular enemies. The Daleks' motive in 'Resurrection,' under the leadership of the ...
...evil Dalek scheme, the Fifth Doctor begins to regret his predecessor's decision not to wipe them out when he had the chance. He vows not to make the same mistake the next time he comes face-to-face with Davros, which is bound to happen sooner rather than later, as the thawed evil genius hatches a plot to duplicate the Doctor's body and send his clone to the High Council of the Time Lords on a mission of assassination... As may be clear from the ...

V The Final Battle

Advantages: Over 4 1/2 Hours Of Superb Entertainment
Disadvantages: Disappointing Lack Of Extra's

The final 3 parts of the mini series in a 2Disc Dvd represent excellent value of money.The dvds have a lack of features nil really except from the languages and subtitles.But really who can complain as most will be grateful that this is now availible on dvd. The picture and sound are what you would expect from a dvd although rather dissapointed there was no 5.1 sound only 2.0 surround but nonetheless still provided me with the best viewing experience ...
