6/10
4k was a mistake
19 September 2022
While it's great that they painstakingly cleaned up the original film stock and rescanned. The detail should have been a HD remaster rather than 4K because the extra resolution just shows up the imperfections in the colour techniques of that time and results in very poor skin tones and whites. Constantly noticing the pixel artifacts is very jarring at times.

Probably wouldn't rewatch

The film itself is reasonably ok and worth seeing for extra large sets and better practical effects compared to the BBC studio TV version.

The dialog replacement was quite noticeable and is quite common in films from this era.
