Thoughts
I'm sure we all know that this is my favourite film in the whole world. That being said, I was in two minds about whether to watch it or not. I was so, over-the-top excited to see it appear on iTunes in HD, but if I Film Watched it, then that was it. It was done. You can only do it once. In the end, though, I couldn't resist.
It looks so good in HD. When you compare it with the terrible trailer, the difference is stunning. If only you could buy movies in HD from iTunes, I would snap up all three of them. I love that I am watching this film for about the fiftieth time, and I am still noticing things. Like the ice cold car, and the pink bits on Doc's radiation suit. LOVE IT.
Rating: 5 / 5
