Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor Trailers

In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

Reviews
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Animenter There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Anna Heidick Don't worry. Spoiler free. Just spreading the praise of this great episode.This is my new favorite Doctor Who episode. It was awesome! It has multiple Doctors. Including the return of the amazing David Tennant! Along with all the old quotes and nice references. It was great! Terrific scrip and dialog. The story was packed with humor which is what I enjoyed most from it. There was also the nice "timey whimey" fun stuff. This episode was an amazing way to do their fiftieth anniversary. What more could we want from this celebration episode? It was just pure humor and science fiction entertainment.
mulreay As a 35yr old Englishman Doctor who is not something you just had to grow up with it's ingrained in British television culture. I would struggle to believe someone from Britain that stated they have never heard of Doctor who. The 50th anniversary episode was a chance to cement Doctor who as not only a great concept and show but as a worldwide phenomenon. They could have messed this up completely, did they? Not even slightly.The story arc was not only intelligent but it had the wonderful effect of answering questions that needed answering without you realising that is what they were doing. The comedy was faultless without being cheesy, the multiple doctors was a wonder for the true Doctor who fans, the effects were outstanding for a BBC TV show budget and the writing was sublime. The only regret I have about this episode is that I didn't have the foresight to book a theater ticket to watch it in 3d whilst it aired live around the world.A quote from Craig Glenday from Guinness World Records "Who else but the time-twisting Doctor could appear in 94 countries at once?! This outstanding achievement is testament to the fact that the longest running sci-fi TV show in history is not just a well-loved UK institution but a truly global success adored by millions of people."Is this the best ever episode of Doctor who? Probably. Will you smile after watching it? Definitely. Well done BBC and Moffat you have outdone yourselves with this masterpiece.
patriotsfan1119 Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor is truly considered to be a major 50th Anniversary failure. Why is this movie so STUPID and terrible and how it's bad? Here's why. First off, I'm kind of like the other half of George Lucas a little bit. I had the same problems George Lucas had with Star Wars. I tried to get Steven Moffat, the executive producer to get copyrighted characters from other franchises (such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Power Rangers and other franchises). He replied to me in the summer of 2012 and he said he would do his best. I found a page for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary Special on Wikipedia and clicked on the page thinking that Steven Moffat got characters from other franchises to guest star. But Steven Moffat had new ideas for the special and a new title for it: "The Day of the Doctor". And not only that, Steven Moffat couldn't get characters from other franchises to guest star in Doctor Who because of licensing issues. The BBC used their original ideas for the special instead. They threw my ideas in the trash and shut them out into the cold city dump forever. It's like there telling me the word "NO, I'm sorry but it's just not practical". We'll SCREW THAT! I give Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor zero stars for it because if Steven Moffat would've got my ideas into the special, my disappointment of the special wouldn't never have happened because if those copyrighted characters guest appeared in the special, then I would've been happy that characters from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Power Rangers and other franchises are in it and things would've been a lot different for me and I wouldn't have to be so disappointed in Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor. But it didn't happen. But I wasn't always disappointed in the special. I was excited for it at the time but when I found out that none of the copyrighted characters made it in, that's when it all changed my excitement into huge disappointment.
Dione Howe As a proud Whovian and a dedicated fan of the programme, the build up to The Day of The Doctor was one of the most exciting times of my life; there was the guarantee of my favourite Doctor returning, the Tenth Doctor played by David Tennant as well as the return of companion Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. These two characters are still my favourites and marked an important part of my childhood. The Day of The Doctor definitely did not disappoint! Written by Steven Moffat, there was some hesitancy over the story itself as I am more of a fan of Russell T Davies' writing for the show. Despite this, I loved every second of the special 50th anniversary episode, which may just be because I am a loyal fan to Doctor Who anyway but nonetheless it impressed in every aspect. The casting was outstanding for the 75 minute long episode: John Hurt playing the Timelord tired of war and heartache was on point, right down to Ingrid Oliver playing an exaggerated fangirl called Osgood. There was no limit to the level of special effects and CGI which is so typical of the longest running sci-fi programme and why it is so popular. Overall, I loved the whole episode from start to end and would highly recommend it, along with the series that build up to such an event!
