Doctor Who: The Woman Who Fell to Earth (2018)
Ah what it could have been...
On the surface, overall not bad.
However, either or both the director and editor are terrible.
I get that the idea isn't generic DW, but what they have chosen as a replacement 'style' is generic Casualty. Generic cuts and angles you'd expect from a film student. Very poor choice of some performances that either leave you feeling the editor wasn't supervised or the director didn't do more than one take on the day all of those actors have more range than they were allowed to show Not because the characterisation wasn't there but because the director wasn't capable of getting it
That usually happens due one of four reasons... You're George Lucas and actors are an obstacle to the story you want to tell; your budget is so small, one or two takes its all you can afford; you don't actually understand or respect the material you're working on; someone else is putting together the final cut without you.
Thankfully, you can mostly see the intention behind the poor execution, so I remain optimistic for the rest of the doors.
Not so much for this director's other project His Dark Materials... I was hopeful for that until I saw this.
