Critical reception

TV Guide called the film, "one of the weaker series entries."[3]

gollark: Bebras or the computing challenge?
gollark: Yes, I did 3 "languages" and it was very "good".
gollark: GCSE computer science is useless and bad too.
gollark: That's everything ever. It just happens to be particularly easy because at GCSE content is minimal.
gollark: It probably goes down the chemistry route of making you memorize 2838383939103848384 things.
