When I came across this film on Amazon Prime I know exactly the kind of mood it would be. I think the team has been clever finding the right poster look and font etc. It's a nice chill wee visually interesting ghost story. However....

I think this film's major flaw is the technology and lack of funds. The use of GoPro cameras on sea shots are distracting along with other changes in frame rate. Also the CLEAR de-noising in certain scenes creates inexcusable blur. I'd love to give the person responsible a slap and tell them how to sort that properly 😅

That being said it's actually a very enjoyable film. I know the love interest is a genuine creep but we'll ignore that 😅. The ghost parts are a little laughable but I did get the odd scare.

Normally I'd say this is pretty amateurish but I did find myself genuinely invested. I mean post production issues aside I got invested. I even noticed a minor feature that the ending twist wrapped up and I thought was rather smart as at the time I was thinking "hey wait a minute."

I think this is a visually brilliant film. Great camera work and atmosphere building. You need to slap someone for the post work 😅 but yeah nice work.

I was put off this film because of the absence of Edwards and Sellers but it's actually not that bad. It's not the same without Peter Sellers ones but if you picture him in the role you can forgive.

I actually found myself laughing at numerous times throughout this film. I mean it's not a classic but still an enjoyable ridiculous film in the style of pink panther.

I'd say give it a go

Many years ago captain scarlet and the mysterons was an old childhood favourite. I remember never getting tired of the angel's accent into their jets nor the long winded intro. Not to mention having laughs a when they used real people's hands for certain shots (the puppets couldn't grip things).

Ah memories. I think my first reaction when I heard of this new cgi remake was the same as any other scarlet fan. The outrage. How could they do this to scarlet? And so on. But were our worries confirmed? No.

Instead a new captain scarlet, up to date, action packed, displaying all things that tend to lack in children's TV these days. A complete re-invention. Characters with expressions for a change. Faster, more tense, episodes. New story lines. Great new gadgets. I'd even go so far to say this is better then the original but that's debatable.

This show took me aback when I first saw it. It wasn't bad it was brilliant. Just imagine all the restraints working with puppets caused now imagine the old show without them. Now you see where I'm coming from.

True the mysterons lack their creepiness. Lieutenant Green has been replaced. The driving backwards inside SPV's is gone. But does that really matter? If you have a kid boy at home aged say 5-10 there is a strong chance he'll love it as well as you (whatever age you are). Remember if you prefer the original Scarlet, this show is for the young viewer. To them this will be better.

This is one of those shows you need to give a chance. Don't copy my brother and hate it even though you've never watched a complete episode.
