My reaction
Concept:
Story: Might have been okay, but the ending ensures a solid "terrible."
Characters:
Dialog:
Pacing:
Cinematography:
Special effects/design:
Acting: Most are fine, but at least one of them literally could not be worse.
Music:
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, ). Slow and unoriginal. The Doctor is passive. There's a lot of hanging out in mines. What is it with mining in classic Doctor Who? They were crazy about mines.
Objective Rating (Average):
