Non-Stop Thrill Ride!
If you like suspenseful science fiction, a la "Alien" or "The Thing" you'll love this episode of Doctor Who. It has everything you want a movie to have - great action, some humor, great acting, thrills and a moral dilemma that really pulls you in. The characters really draw you in, and you really feel for each of them as they face the possibility, and in some the reality, of their demise. David Tennant is once again great, and you can see him dealing with his doubts as to whether he should get involved or not. This was definitely one of the best of the David Tennant episodes. If you like Doctor Who, don't miss this one.

A great plot, but a really bad script.
This story had such potential. The plot is actually really scary, but instead of getting a chilling and action-packed story, we get a boring runaround with way too much drama, not enough suspense, and too many things that just don't add up. I found this one just awful. And it could have been so great too. If only the writers were more interested in creating suspense rather than drama. <br /> <br />Not recommended!

A great special that mixes in more Horror with Doctor Who
Doctor Who through the many years has changed it's focus from being a show more for kids to more for adults, mixing campy comedy with plausible Sci-Fi when it could. This particular special, The Waters of Mars, to me feels like the idea was to create a special that had a bit of a horror movie thrown in there. <br /> <br />There is nothing super scary by any means and I found this to be a very enjoyable story and helps tie in the Doctors last days (as portrayed by David Tennant) before transitioning to Matt Smith. <br /> <br />Chances are if you are a Who fan, you already bought it :)

A good Dr. Who Special.
This is one of David Tennant's final episodes, along with "Planet of the Dead" and "The End of Time". It is a good story and well worth watching.
