Just to be sure that I would get a good seat, I went to the theater about three hours early. Just to be sure to get a good seat. I also bought some snacks so that I would be able to sit the five hours in one place. I did not take too much to drink, as I knew I might not be able to go to the toilet as I did not want to loose my seat. I was not the first person to arrive there, nor were there a line. Surprisingly the theater had decided to not show anything else in that hall/showing room what ever, and let everybody in as they came. Good decision as now people just came in and choose the seats. Depending on the size of the group, some would go then to pick up food while others reserved the seats. So very good for them. I probably could have gone if I just had left my jacket and snacks there, but I didn't want to take the risk, that there would be some idiot changing my seat. Don't really think any proper whovian would do so, but there were newbies in the audience. I heard people say that they have started watching the series since the fourth i.e. beginning of Matt's and have not bothered to watch the earlier once "because they are not as good". So not a proper whovian.
But to the movie itself now. OMG. Not as good as hyped, but unbelievable still. It was a bit more slow than I would have thought when it was advertised as this big war thing. Well there was a war no denying it, but it was playing the third fiddle. Second fiddle was played by the sub plot between the 10th and the Elisabeth I. Main was the three doctors or should I say two doctors and a warrior. As it has been said before that the numbering will not change, so we cannot say that Hurt would be the Doctor. He has been said to be the Warrior by eight and the war doctor by Moffat. I think I will just call him the Warrior as then there is no confusion of who we are talking about.
All doctors did get their own little snippet in the movie, cut from their original time i.e. shown as they are remembered excluding of course 10 and 11 who were there to film their own parts. So sad that Eccleston did not want to portray the ninth, as he is my favorite. At least there was the cut of him from his original time. There were certain things that were put in the movie as a commemorative to the classic seasons and the now gone companions. There was a first in this movie, but I will not say what it was. I am just glad I saw this in the theater as now I did not have to applaud by myself. Really there were more than once that everybody applauded. It was so good. Can't wait till Christmas to see the final episode of Matt and get to know the new doctor.
