Film Description

Doctor Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD Movie Poster

“We’ll have to bypass Watford. The place is full of Daleks !”

Dr Who and his companions travel to London in the far-distant future and discover a crumbling wreck of a city with a handful of survivors hiding in an underground base. The Daleks, evil machine creatures, have invaded and subjugated all before them, and are concentrating their operations on a mine in Bedfordshire. They plan to bomb the earth’s core and send the planet spinning off into space. Can the Doctor save humanity ? Doctor Who: Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD is the sequel to Dr Who And The Daleks is an even better movie, with a bigger budget, a great story (again based on one of the BBC TV serials by Terry Nation), terrific special effects and lots of delicious scares – the first shot of the Dalek emerging from the Thames is wonderfully creepy. The whole of the deserted-London first half in particular is excellent, as our heroes wander through rubble streets and dusty tunnels whilst Dalek flying saucers rumble overhead. Peter Cushing and Roberta Tovey reprise their roles with aplomb, and Bernard Cribbins is excellent as the policeman who stumbles unwittingly into the adventure, giving just the right mix of google-eyed bewilderment, comic pratfalls and square-jawed no-nonsense action. The rest of the cast are great, particularly Philip Madoc (who went on to appear in several of the TV shows, notably The Brain Of Morbius in 1976) as a hard-hearted, ill-fated mercenary. A highly enjoyable Saturday matinée sci-fi flick, featuring terrific photography by John Wilcox – check out the nifty camera moves in the Dalek control room. Beautifully produced by Milton Subotsky and Max J. Rosenberg and well directed by Gordon Flemyng, this is a classic British fantasy movie. EXTERMINATE !

Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance.
