Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great, Good for Adult Fans Too! Comment: This is a very different pace than the TV series. This is a whole collection of hyper-fast moving 3-minute clips. The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones battle space pirates and a variety of other foes. Even robotic birds that feed off gold! The plot is interesting, and carries well from one clip to the next. Customer Rating: Summary: Rent this one Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Gabriel, try using your review to review the product, that is what it is for. Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: This is OK! Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Worthy Of The Television Series Comment: I didn't watch this during the dozen 3 minute transmissions of the episodes on Totally Doctor Who I waited for the 'whole-in-one' showing of the complete story that followed and it comes in at roughly 43 minutes, the length of a tv episode. I liked it, but I found the constant shifting of locations after every three minutes or so a bit distracting, I can understand why this needed to be done, as a serialized story it was necessary to provide a cliff-hanger to end every mini-episode and the location shifting was designed to keep the story on the move in order that the kid's interests were maintained. The story is very good actually and it was interesting to see slightly different interpretations of the Doctor and Martha, the whole concept of animation enables the makers of the episode to do anything they want, they are not constrained by budget, there are so many effects in this episode that had it been a live action instalment it would have cost millions and millions, that is the advantage that animation and audio have over television and film, the imagination and the means to realise that vision has no limit. The acting by the regulars is first rate and it is obvious that David and Freema are taking the material as seriously as a television episode and do not drop their performances for a moment. Anthony Head returns to Doctor Who again to once more play the villain and he is as good as ever. The animation is by the same company that reconstructed the missing episodes of The Invasion and pull out all the stops to ensure that it looks good, David Tennant actually looks like David Tennant unlike some animation of the past. The Infinite Quest has been given the status of being a legitimate or proper Doctor Who adventure and is considered part of season 3 but I wonder where it actually fits, I reckon after the episode '42', I am also surprised that it is not being featured in the series 3 boxset but is being given a standalone release, lets hope there is extras and a commentary. The Infinite Quest has shown that it is possible to do Doctor Who via animation and to make it worthy of the TV show, all we need now is for the BBC to release the other Doctor Who animated adventure 'The Scream of the Shalka', what a pity they didn't release it with The Infinite Quest it would have made a nice little boxset of animated Doctor Who.
