Disclaimer: The first Part of my Review is the exact same Thoughts, that I already wrote for my Original Galaxy 4 Review, if you already read that Part, feel free to skip forward to the Part about the Animation itself.

This one is a tricky one for me to rate. I don’t hate it nor do I like it.
It’s quite a simple one and one I’d argue with some great elements but also a lot of “whatever” aspect to it. I like the Chumblies, but the sounds here get on your nerves really quickly. I like Maaga here, she has a great performance in the only surviving Episode and overall for most of the Serial. I think we have some lovely Vicki Doctor Moments (in particular the one with the rock). But overall it doesn’t do much for me.

About the Animation:

The Animation is okay and does its job well, it doesn’t really give the story a new life (like the macra one did for its story) nor does it make the story any more interesting, but ehh it has some very nice aspect to it. I like the sets in the Animation, despite the scale maybe being a bit too much at the end.

Overall this is just meh story, not particular amazing nor bad, some standout moments here and there but definitely one of the weaker Hartnell Tales

Fantastic animation only complaint is the ship design for the slug guys
