The original Daleks serial is SO much better than this. Sure, it's long, and yeah it's definitely a product of its time, but it's marvelous use of tension was nothing short of miraculous.
First, the main article: the brand-new colorization. Terrible, lol. Bright and shiny, it made everything look inauthentic, and plastic-y. Something that initially felt cold and dreadful now feels like unimportant CBBC nonsense.
And this was not helped by the awful music. Loud and computerized and blatantly ugly, it destroyed everything about Tristram Cary's beautiful and haunting score.
And the worst part: the editing. Almost 3 hours of content is wittled down to a little over an hour. A whole episode of tension is chopped up into a cringey heist sequence. The cave journey is played on fast-forward. The original and delightfully delirious run through the jungle is completely deleted?!
They took what was brilliant and mutilated it into something it wasn't. If you want to watch this serial, watch the original I BEG OF YOU!! If you want a colorful, cinematic adaptation, watch the Peter Cushing movies. This new edit is unnecessary, obnoxious and unneeded.
