InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Denver Freeburn (denverfreeburn) The name triggers the imagination that Mars will almost be a tropical paradise with trees, rivers and lakes. It's still a dry, dusty planet but the somewhat adequate (and thrown together feeling) of the story barely tickles the humour although the ending was quite good as the Doctor thinks he can change the future but learns the hard way.The cast of the episode were quite good and played their roles convincingly.The set was also what you would expect of a Mars habitat.The episode overall was not one of the best "specials" but still worth a watch when nothing else is on TV.

Julian Ferris After watching the last two episodes of season 5 I was very disappointed. The plot was all over place, the directing was terrible...it was like the directors had put absolutely no effort into them,and, as it was consistent, I thought this was how it was going to be for the rest of the series. How wrong was I! The effort this time performed by the directors was salient.The story was strong, the monsters were perfect, and it didn't get too silly and jumbled up. It actually had me sit on the edge of my seat in parts, and the climax only made me more impressed on what the writers and directors had planned to climax the series. My only negative thought is that I don't think the directors took in account of the little children watching this episode. Normally Doctor Who is rather jolly, there is not a lot of detail in death, and the monsters aren't too scary. These monsters WERE scary,and they did scare my two little brothers, making them cry. Some scenes were a little bit prolonged in areas and complex, and it was very depressing ( my mother walked out ). Overall, probably not the best movie for little children but perfect for Doctor who fans and teenagers like I who love zombie films!8/10, Welcome back!

ktd-1 invisibleskidmark, you obviously did not watch the "Stolen Earth" or "Journey's End" closely because the Daleks in the Medusa Cascade were NOT part of the Time War.At the end of the "Evolution of the Daleks" (series 3) the last of the Cult of Skaro (Dalek Caan) did an emergency temporal shift which SENT HIM BACK INTO THE TIME WAR where he consequently rescued Davros, creator of the Daleks, and lost his mind (went mad) in the ensuing ability to see all of time and space. The Time War was timelocked and Caan somehow broke through it. The incident at the Medusa Cascade happened and lost planets returned to their appropriate places and times. It became a FIXED point in time/space.There was no continuity problem regarding the Medusa Cascade incident as we saw that the whole of Earth was celebrating the return of Earth to the Solar system in "Journey's End" I suggest before commenting on continuity that you remove the finger off the fast forward button....

ewaf58 Yes unlike dear old Earth there's no water shortage on Mars (hopefully we'll go there one day) although it should carry a health warning 'Eau non potable' as they say in France. This episode had a clever twist and was very emotional at the end leaving the door open for the final swansong of this incarnation of the good Doctor.Although only referenced it would be great to see the Ice Warriors again. The BBC certainly rendered Mars very well (although it was filmed in a quarry pit with the help of green screen).So here we are leading up to the final climax - I hope it's as good as this episode,
