My First Doctor Who!!, Oct 8 2011
By Primeval - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: Invasion of the Dinosaurs (DVD)
Now, all of us lets be mature and get past the puppet dinosaurs and see that "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" is a great addition to the series. The story is excellent. The acting, well, it was the '70s, give 'em a break. The chemistry between Sarah Jane and The Doctor is brilliant, especially during the first episode. The line between good guy and bad guy is tremendously well slurred and makes us wonder if The Doctor's doing the right thing. All in all, this is a great story and a wonderful tribute to the late Sladen, forever in our hearts.

Wondrful fun but DVD puzzles at times., Jan 16 2012
By A. C. Cronvich - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: Invasion of the Dinosaurs (DVD)
First off, let me say that I dont have a problem with the dinosaurs. Why? Because I saw this story in High School (20 years ago +) and I thought they were dreadful, but acceptable considering I understood the limitations of the production. Over time the the dinosaurs became exgerated in my head. I thought of them as being much worse than they truly are. So. that stuff aside. Its a solid story. I wish I could say that the color enhanced episode one is a major disappointment. Color restoration had been impressive in the past on stories such as Terror of the Autons. For this version BBC only had partial color information and added the blue with a computer. So the blues look great and the rest looks pretty rough, especially browns and flesh tones. I must say that I am puzzled as to why they couldnt use a computer colorization technique to bring the entire episode up to the standards of the rest of the show. Especially when one considers they had the rest of the serial for reference it is a puzzle. Is colorization that expensive? Some of the color by computer work done in the past ten years has been quite impressive if not perfect. But superior to what BBC has provided. Note to anyone making a movie with puppet monsters/dinosaurs/spaceships: Try filming things backward and then reversing it in editing. It effectively creates the illusion that the object is propelling itself.

Thank god for DVD and video., Feb 7 2012
By The Cougar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: Invasion of the Dinosaurs (DVD)
Never has a Doctor Who story inspired me as much to sit down and write a review as this one did. If we were to believe so called fandom, then this story would be the so-called mistake, the one that should've been kept wiped, I've heard on some sites, not to mention the endless, ENDLESS question of "Can we have the Dinosaurs in CGI? Please? I'll be your best friend" that has been asked ever since the DVD range started.Firstly, the obvious. How much do the dinos appear in the story? Seriously? What I saw was more the Golden Age plan, and a much more intriguing and well-thought plot than others I could mention (Like The Android Invasion, which was released in the boxset with this story, UNIT Files). An avalanche of double-crossing between just about everyone left in London, mixed in with some genuine jaw-dropping moments.
Like, say, the cliffhanger where Sarah wakes up to find she's not only in a spaceship, but "has apparently been asleep and travelling for 3 months." Huh? How's that for a revelation! How come no one talks about elements like this? I have to admit I've become a bit jaded when it comes to sci-fi/action/mystery, yet that was one of the few surprises that got me in recent times, seeing this story for the first time recently.
I've seen that this story's average rating is 5 stars. I'm glad that this story has gotten such a positive re-appraisal. It deserves it. Well done to Jon Pertwee, Lis Sladen (R.I.P.) and all who created this masterpiece.
