From what I've seen, there's no way White Dwarf is going to be big. Go to Full Review

Jun 20, 2021 I watched it when it first aired, and more than a dozen times since. It had a great cast. It had stories within stories. I still think it as Anne of Green Gables on heroin. Sometimes you really don't need zombies, phasers or spaceships. A lot of the time, you just need a doctor in a strange environment and circumstance (a nod to Doctor in a blue box). In short, this movie was wonderful. See more Mar 11, 2020 Strange and compelling sci-fi epic that while a little over the top in over-selling it's themes; still holds up to a 25 year rewatch. See more Oct 16, 2019 Rather brilliant movie with the two sides of the planet not only having different cultures but different tech, and you also get a late 19th to early 20th century to 1940s feel about Driscoll along with some fantasy elements. Would be a great collectors item if found on DVD or similar... See more Dec 16, 2013 SO. FULL. OF. WONDER. See more Aug 19, 2012 Earth doctor is assigned to a remote planet in civil war for his internship in the year 3040. I was troubled, with good reason, by the box description likening it to 'a sci-fi Northern Exposure'. Actually a tv pilot, which may explain certain plot elements not being fully explored. See more Aug 6, 2009 some might remember this miniseries / pilot from 1995; the sci-fi / fantasy storyline was quietly brilliant and well made for its time See more Read all reviews
