    Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder

    ★★★★

    After a so so (at best) start we get a wonderful atmospheric creepy episode not far from the wonderful Midnight.

    This is what I want when I say it should be suitable for kids but not solely aimed at them.

    I'd say it was probably a little bit too long though and felt a bit too much like a mid season episode rather than a special. But still great stuff!.

    Of course it's a noble thing to have a…

    ★½

    In Brief:
    Pretty much what you get if you let the internet make a 'kewl'* movie aping much better directors. Hollow and with honkingly bad dialogue and a pretty poor lead performance from Karen Gillan, but I blame the direction. Lena Heady and Michelle Yeoh almost save it though.

    In full:

    Clearly based around a single concept of what of "John Wick was a girl?" and then an incompetent director is given a lot of money to make it.
