Customer Reviews

Rent this one
OK I know three stars is low, but with hand on heart this one is better rented. If you love it then buy a copy. I just felt that this dumb down version for our younger viewers was not one to bowl me over.

Story was good, it could have been so much more, the animation was not quite there. As it was designed to be seen in very short segments, the whole is not the sum of its parts here.

Gabriel, try using your review to review the product, that is what it is for.
I have never read a more stupid statement as the one written by Gabriel below. Of course people can review a disc if they have seen it on television first or if they are fans of Doctor Who they know what they are talking about. It seems to me as if these so called reviewers are using these reviews to lambast other people's take on the product rather than do their own review. Just look at a certain Canadian reviewer of Planet of Evil, it's insulting and unnecessary, I wouldn't mind if they offered alternate reviews that are any good but no. Let me spell it out Gabriel and others THESE REVIEWS ARE TO REVIEW THE PRODUCT NOT SLAG OFF OTHER PEOPLE. And as for the comment about wanting to be the first to air their views well it's so pathetic I'm not going to even bother answering. These reviews are there to help people decide whether or not to purchase the item in question and it would be a fine kettle of fish if one had to wait for a review, obviously Amazon like them or they would not be here.
Sorry for the rant but I'm fed up with people like Gabriel that offer nothing in the way of constructive reviewing and use it as a cheap way of getting their own limited views across and for insulting, perhaps he was jealous that someone had got in there first and said everthing that they planned to. Gabriel, grow up!

The Infinite Quest is a good solid animated adventure that is indeed worthy of the tv series and is a nice DVD and I hope to see more of them made. The characters are played to perfection as on tv and it is treated to the same degree of respect, make no mistake it may be animated but this is proper Doctor Who. Full stop.

This is OK!
The show itself is actually quite amazing though this dunbed down version for children does not meet the high standards set by Russell T Davies. I am going to buy this DVD though as the story is truly imaginative and well thought of.
I would have to say though aswell - haven't doctor who made numerous quotations of Shakespeare over the past year - Balthazar is Romeo's servant in Romeo and Juliet and who could forget the Shakespeare Code - need I say more? There are some other references to Shakespeare and his plays though they are a little more subtle.
