Time and Atlantis: Chronicling The Time Monster

About This Movie

So, 'Time and Atlantis: Chronicling The Time Monster' dives deep into the behind-the-scenes of a rather unique Doctor Who story. The documentary really captures the essence of the era it was made in, showcasing how those practical effects were pieced together on a tight budget. You get a real sense of the atmosphere on set; the camaraderie among the crew and the oddities of the production process are palpable. The pacing is pretty steady, allowing for both interviews and archival footage to flow without dragging. What struck me was the focus on the themes of time and myth—intertwined in a way that feels quite reflective. Definitely a niche piece but for collectors, it’s a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-discussed chapter of Who history.
