My reaction
Synopsis: intrigue, as alien delegates visit a backwards planet
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix) yesterday
Concept: Indifferent.
Story: Indifferent. Good for the most part, with a few major lulls.
Characters: Bad.
Dialog: Indifferent.
Pacing: Indifferent.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Bad. There are a couple good ideas, like a head in a dome with oozing slime, but the execution is terrible and the costumes are some of the worst ever.
Acting: Bad. Apart from Pertwee and Manning, everyone is pretty awful.
Music: Indifferent.
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay). Nothing really worth seeing, but I was reasonably entertained - often for the wrong reasons.
Objective Rating: 1.7/4 (Eh).
