SUMMARY
Dr Who and his traveling companions use his time machine, the TARDIS,
to travel to the year 2150 where they find that the Earth has been overrun
by the alien Daleks. The time travelers throw in their lot with a group
of resistance fighters who battle the Daleks and their robomen slaves
who are trying to plant a bomb at the Earth's core...
CAPSULE REVIEW
As with Dr Who and the Daleks, Who purists were disappointed
by this liberty-taking remake of a classic TV story, but time has been
kind to it and it now has some period charm. Cushing is excellent again,
though the rest of the cast are fairly undistinguished. The Daleks are
far less menacing here than they were on either TV or even in the first
film though overall, this is the more enjoyable of the two films thanks
to the frantic pacing, well-choreographed action scenes and well-realised
vision of a future London in ruins.
