I've been a fan of the Doctor since I used to watch it on PBS in Chicago back in the 70's. Although I've loved all the Doctors, Tom Baker has always been my favorite. It's great to see the Doctor again. I only wish the show was longer. Thank you for bringing him once again to the big screen! Big Mike

It's not really the director's cut; a lot of scenes were cut you or shortened; a six part serial condensed into 90 minutes. I didn't like that. But the interview with Tom Baker was interesting and had info I had never known before.

Loved it. Watched all the originals on Britbox so I’ve seen it before. But! I brought my daughter so she could see my favorite Dr and she loved it. Tom Baker is amazing and absolutely embodies the Doctor. Amazing to see it in the big screen 😊

Some of the best television science fiction ever produced and Davros is a great villain! So much fun to see his origin.

This was a great experience. Surrounded by long-time fans and even some fans new to the show. The interview after the credits was so emotional - it is wonderful to see the human behind our beloved alien.

The interview with Tom was great. This is one of the greatest and most beloved DE episodes of all time. I have watched it over 100 times. I found the edit to be distracting. A 2.5 hour episode was pared down to 90 minutes. That is a lot of content missed, some of it very important.

This took be back to spending time on the couch with my family. We had to stay up late to catch it on a 19 inch TV. The Director's cut explains a lot more.

Blown away! I've seen Genesis dozens of time, but not like this! I forgot I was watching a TV show, and the Daleks and Davros are terrifying to a whole new level in the theater. Legit chills when Davros first calls "EXTERMINATE." ZERO regrets paying the price!

I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who, have been for over forty years. This is one of my all time favourite serials. This was a 90 minute edit (done back in the 70s for a Xmas broadcast), so an hour was cut out of the original 6 episode, 150 minute story... and, unfortunately, it does take a lot away. It's still good, but a bit lacking. it was fun seeing it on the big screen and I hope we can get more.

I'd really love to see more like this! of course, I can see all the episodes on BritBox, but it's always nice to gather with my fellow Whovians to share in the joy that is Doctor Who!

Hearing the theme music in a theater made me giddy, but my husband was not crazy about the editing. For a director's cut, we expected more not less. BUT, the episode transitions were seamless. I was happy.

Best Doctor Who story, hands-down. Acting is fantastic, storyline is great, characters are all well constructed. Holds up really well as 70s special effects were minimal.

This was completely nostalgic for my husband to watch with his kids like his dad watched with him many years ago. Made my heart happy. And it was remastered very well. To see Tom Baker alive and well with all of his snarky insight was priceless.

Older episodes move slower than what most are probably used to, however, you need to know the history of The Doctor & the show.

This is the Doctor I was in love with as a kid. It was amazing to see it on the big screen and all at once instead of broken up into parts. Fabulous!

The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith have always been my favorites, and this took me back to when I watched them all those years ago. They managed to take what was originally six episodes, of 25 minutes each, and pare it down without loosing the integrity of the story.

Genesis of the Daleks was fantastic and it was great to see Tom Baker both as he was while playing the Doctor and as... well still the Doctor if a bit older. Makes me really consider getting the Blu-Ray with the full hour Conversation with Tom Baker. Also, the trivia was top notch! Some very deep trivia that even intense fans could find challenging. Tom was really almost in Moonraker?!
