Daleks - Invasion: Earth 2150 AD (1966)

7 January 2018

I was under the weather this weekend, so watched random stuff on Amazon Prime. Daleks - Invasion: Earth 2150 AD from 1966 is the second (and last) film made of the Doctor Who serials. The film stars Peter Cushing (he later played Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars) and Bernard Cribbins (who returned as a 10th Doctor companion in the new Doctor Who series).

Unfortunately Prime only had a Rifftrax version available for free which was a little difficult to hear at times. I had seen it before decades ago though, so this didn't bother me too much. I will say the jazz music in the background was bizarre, and some of the story decisions definitely felt drawn out over the film (daleks moving up and down ramps don't need a 30-second shot). That said, it is a neat curiosity to see once in a while if you like Doctor Who, but it feels like B-movie material at this point so don't expect much from it. 5/10
