An absent-minded professor's invention transports him and three others to a post-nuclear alien world.

I'd assumed that all the hatred that Doctor Who fans have for this movie stemmed from its being too different from the TV show (imagine a nerd whining indignantly, "but that's not how it happened!"). And maybe that is why they hate it, but it doesn't matter because it's a crappy movie anyway. There's simply no sense of storytelling. The filmmakers' one and only goal was to put Daleks on film, in color, with enough semblance of a movie around it that people wouldn't demand their money back.
