XPost: rec.arts.drwho, uk.media.tv.sf.drwho, rec.arts.sf.tv XPost: rec.arts.tv From: doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca Doctor Who: The Ice Warriors - A Second Doctor Encounter on Mars Based on the information from the website [invalid URL ice warriors doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Ice Warriors: Story The TARDIS lands on Mars, millions of years in the past. The Doctor (Second Doctor), Jamie, and Victoria find themselves caught in a war between two Martian races: the peaceful Martians and the reptilian Ice Warriors. The Ice Warriors are attempting to thaw out their hibernating army and take over Mars. The narrative focuses on the Doctor's efforts to prevent the Ice Warriors' plan and ensure peace on Mars. Review (Based on Summary): Classic Martian Threat: This serial features the Ice Warriors, a classic Doctor Who monster encounter. Fans of these reptilian villains might enjoy seeing them in action. Historical Setting (of Sorts): The story takes place on Mars millions of years in the past, offering a unique historical backdrop (although technically prehistoric). Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor, Jamie, or Victoria in this serial. Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects in classic Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. The depiction of Mars and the Ice Warriors might not be as realistic by modern standards. Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): "The Ice Warriors" presents a classic monster with the Ice Warriors in a unique prehistoric Martian setting. This could be appealing for fans of these reptilian villains. However, the potential for dated special effects and slower pacing could be drawbacks. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 (Likely worth watching if you enjoy the Second Doctor era and classic monsters. The prehistoric Martian setting adds a distinctive element) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The concept of a Martian race and the Ice Warriors themselves might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects and slower pace could be less appealing) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: If possible, try to find reviews that mention the special effects used for the Ice Warriors and the depiction of Mars. This can help you gauge how they might hold up today. Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Ice Warriors". I hope this helps! While "The Ice Warriors" has elements that could appeal to classic Doctor Who fans, the potential for dated production values is a consideration. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
