Second books in trilogies tend to be the books where the author draws breath and gets things set up for the third and final instalment. So I was happily surprised when this turned out to be as action packed and as full of unanswered questions as the first book. I mean, some questions are answered, but others replace them. It’s all action, there’s loads of science - whether it’s real, fact based science, I neither know nor care. What I REALLY like, is when an author writes something with such certainty that you’ll believe whatever you read. Even if your best friend is a geneticist who decides to debunk everything you read (I thankfully have no geneticist friends, but the Chemist husband makes up for it!)

Ok, so this book leaves us well and truly set up for the big finale, and I’m really looking forward to it!

Some interesting ideas that didn't gel, a villain who isn't, more supernatural elements without science explanations than should ever appear in Who, and a substandard set of additional characters add up to a poor outing from Big Finish here. Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred are great as usual, but thats about as far as I can go in this confusing story set in the land down under. Or is it?

Decent Sci-Fi Thriller
I remember this seem to go under the radar on release, I think it only had a short run at the cinema. Some kids take up a science project and manage to come up with a time travel device... But things don't go well when you mess with time! The SFX are quite good for the budget. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.

I don’t have time for a full review so here’s an abbreviated one. It was good. You should see it. Acting was awesome. Plot was engaging. Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks weird with Bruce Willis nose. Dystopian society scenes were fascinating. Emily Blunt is a total babe.

This series is so good. I am a big sci-fi fan and this has all the things that are great about science fiction. I love the book series that the show is based on and the show does a fantastic job of staying as true to the books as possible. I just finished season 4 and it is amazing in the storytelling and the cast is fantastic.
