Dreamland Part One Review…

Published by Richard Kirsch on Nov 22nd

 

Well this past Saturday saw the second new Doctor adventure this week, Dreamland. It’s the first part of a six part series being shown on the BBC’s Red Button channel. Much like 2007’s The Infinite Quest, Dreamland is divided into much smaller segments that when viewed as a whole will equal about forty-five minutes in length. Part one of Dreamland clocks in at right around twelve minutes and they managed to pack quite a bit in that twelve minutes! The story takes place in Roswell, New Mexico in 1958, eleven years after the supposed UFO crash. The Doctor finds himself in a little diner that has part of the ship on display. Here he meets the young lady who owns the place, voiced by Georgia Moffet with a rather convincing American accent (well, since her mom’s from the States, shouldn’t have been too difficult). With the waitress, Cassie, is a ranch hand. The Doctor accidentally activates the UFO fragment and the diner is immediately pounced upon by some mysterious men in black. And they ain’t got a talking pug with them. They manage to escape the MiB only to be shot at by a ten foot tall alien drone. The drone is killed by an Army helicopter that then takes the Doctor and the others to Area 51 itself. Here they are locked up and are about to have their memories wiped and they have to escape. There’s more, but there’s no need for me to ruin everything now is there?

Tennant’s acting is of course, spot on. Close your eyes and you’d never know you were listening to a cartoon. You know how cartoons sound just a bit too artificial? And as I said earlier, Moffet does a pretty good American accent. It slips on some words, but so what. Peri’s accent slipped all the time and do you think anyone really cared (as long as she was wearing those low-cut blouses)? Oh, damn! Did I type that out loud?! Anyway, the animation is stilted at best. The guys over at Topless Robot said it best in their review when they mentioned that the animation was of a poorer quality than what Mainframe was doing on a weekly basis with Reboot back in the mid-90s. I’d grade it about as good as a Gamecube cutscene. But again the original series had guys in cheap rubber masks, so again as long as the story was entertaining, which so far it is, I’ll overlook the animation. Though there is one little, tiny nitpicky thing I gotta mention. It’s just one of those “blink and you miss it” goofs, but I noticed it the first time around. As the Doctor and others are trying to escape Area 51, they break into a room with a door reading “Authorised Entry Only”. That should be “AuthoriZed” with a “Z” (and not “zed”…). Anyway, like I said, just a little nitpicky.
