[Lewis Scott Childs]

So I just finished my watch of The Daleks in colour. A fantastic update of the story! It now has the feel of a seventies era story in my opinion. The rescore changes and increases the mood in the right places, although at times is a bit over the top and then some, sometimes being a bit loud and sometimes not fitting in with the rest of the delivery. The improved and newly added effects are graded and made to feel like they come from a lot nearer the time rather than having been done today, and the changed or newly added dialogue bridges and pads out scenes than needed it whilst making things more consistent with changes in the lore that took place in the years after broadcast. The city, whether being seen as model or cgi works a treat, and the performances at times feel so much more vivid and captivating. It goes from having felt like a story that went on too long, to one that moves along at suitable pace, although the last quarter into the ending does seem almost rushed now, like at a completely different pace to the rest of story up to that point. There are of course key parts that they could do nothing to alter without changing them entirely, and they remind you that yes, this was from 1963. There are things I would definitely have done differently. Otherwise this was a good job very well done.
