![]() ![]() Frank Miller's rewrite of an important historical event in world history fails on many levels: It's not entertaining, it's poorly written, it's poorly acted, it's poorly directed, and it's poorly produced. The number "300" must stand for the number of reasons why this movie is awful and that's not counting the roughly 300,000 ways that this was historically inaccurate. At the very beginning it says, "Do not watch this video." I suggest that everyone take that advice.ฤก6 March 2007 - 27 out of 80 users found this review helpful. There is one thing I have to credit this episode for. So do yourself a favor and pretend that it didn't. This episode may as well have never happened.

Also intriguing is the plot device that humans in this era use a machine that provides them with a month's worth of sleep. I'll admit that it does start out as an interesting concept. 'Sleep No More' is a "found film" kind of an episode. But what sets them apart from 'Sleep No More' is the fact that despite their flaws, they have coherent plots that the viewer can actually follow. 'Fear Her' and 'Love and Monsters' come to mind, both episodes being universally regarded by the fandom as being two of the worst, if not the worst, episodes of 'New Who' ever made. On occasion, when re-watching 'Doctor Who' there are episodes to skip. 14 November 2015 - 103 out of 150 users found this review helpful.
