Fathom Events-Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time

The second of the two back to back films that I saw as the last of 2017 with The Shape of Water, Fathom Events-Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time is the first time I went to see a feature through the Fathom content provider that releases special films for a few days. This was the theatrical release of the Doctor Who 2017 Christmas special and while you could have seen it on television during Christmas, I wanted to see what a Fathom Event film is like through something familiar. The special sees Peter Capaldi ending his era as the Doctor by going on an adventure with the First Doctor and ends with the beginning of Jodie Whittaker's tenure as the 13th Doctor with the first female Doctor. Before the special began and after it ended there were special behind the scenes looks of Capaldi's tenure and the special itself. Seeing it cinematically was really awesome and very profoundly satisfying more than seeing it on tv. Watching the interaction between the 12th and 1st and how different the Doctor was when he first started was one of the most fun parts. The strongest scene that is really profound was the 12th Doctor's final speech towards his next self before he regenerates.
