Review of Pyramids of Mars by dema1020
29 May 2024
Pyramids of Mars was a great time overall. Some of the acting can be a bit hammy, and some of the effects around those mummies and even Sutekh leave A LOT to be desired, but on the whole this was a very cool serial with some fun ideas, a cool villain, and a great adventure on the whole for the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane. I do feel there is a slightly something lacking to the story, in that a few tweaks might have made it even more memorable, and maybe this just doesn't have the effect on me it had on kids back in the day, but I still appreciate this story for its world-building and a pretty fun sense of horror and tension to it, along with some fun references at the beginning along with hints of big changes to come, all of which I appreciated.
