New Captain Scarlet | Enigma | Captain Scarlet Day 2021 

For what it is this CGI version wasn't bad, but the magic of Supermarionation was more than just the fantastic puppets, the stirring music, the exciting plots, the brilliant voice cast. It was also the fact that all the effects were "real". You knew that these were miniature marvels of engineering, tiny but brilliantly realised explosions, amazing to-scale movements and interactions. They were amazing creations done with care, passion and enormous craft and skill. They had soul. Ach... maybe I'm just getting old...

As a middle-aged guy I never thought that I would get all that interested in this series, but after watching the previous series and getting caught up in it, I find myself excited when a new episode of this series " shows up ".

wow, it's like i've just gone back 50 years. We need more Captain Scarlet.

Captain blue is not indestructible but he still kicks butt. I love the way the new skybase gets the angels ready to fly

You should totally make a Remastered version of this series. And maybe a new series/continuation of Captain Scarlett. I loved watching this as a kid, and I still do. It has everything! Cool vehicles, mistery, great story, aliens... The whole thing.

I like that the re-arming sequence included cleaning the cockpit canopy.

While i loved the original Supermarionation verison of Captain Scarlet, the 2005 version is the one that stuck with me the most, since it was the version i watched on saturday mornings. Thank you so much for everything you've made, Gerry Anderson, my childhood wouldn't be the same without you!

This is such an underrated series.

it's not quite the same without Francis Matthews as Captain Scarlet, and the wonderful Ed Bishop as Captain Blue....

I still love the original Angel Interceptors. Had an Airfix model which I built and painted hanging from my bedroom ceiling. All the originals seem solid and more "real" than the CGI versions. Mainly because they were solid models!

Indestructable Captain Scarlet !

If dull old Coronary Street & Easttenders can last for decades, why can't series like these Gerry Anderson's classics be there again on our screens. Of course new voices etc with the passing of old masters, but the magic is still there!!

when they go back in time it would have been nice to revert to the "Supermarionation" style.

Gerry Anderson and his team,absolute genius.

Happy Captain Scarlet day! Reminding myself I need to finish reviewing the series.

Still holds up, all because of the cinematic direction / camera angles and quick cuts. So ahead of it’s time 👍😎

so different from the 60's tv series that i enjoyed as a kid but still very entertaining.

wow fantastic great episode bring back the memoreis of old captian scarlet show that was incredible as well thank you

An amazing episode of a well-imagined remake of such an underrated classic. It was very nice to have a storyline here where the Mysterons actually win - that unpredictability was one of the best parts of the original, and very rare for a “kids” show.

Brings back to my childhood how awesome watching this, I loved it

Happy Captain Scarlett Day!

Northern Australia - bad move. Poisonous snakes, spiders and crocs. Mond you I guess the Mysterons feel at home - alot of the outback does look like Mars

Jamie, Richard, and company. I have to admit, that all the Edge-of-the-Seat Action, Drama, and intrigue packed into these 21+ Minute episodes, is far superior than any 60, 90, 120, or 240 Minute show since at least the 1990's. Kudos to the Producer, Script Writers and Directors, for bringing back that Olde School way of telling memorable stories, in a short time span. 👍👍10 & 10🌟 with Countless thanks for sharing with us all.

Happy Captain Scarlet Day! S.I.G!

I love these science fiction series from the 1960s and 70s by Gerry Andersen from U.K. This is a very well made animated series

*More! Must have an entire new series from the original forward! 💯👍👌👏 @Gerry Anderson, as you can well see, there is a huge demand to redo Captain Scarlet in CGI. You would, IMHO&E be an instant hit with the Young Adult, Adult, and Tween crowds.*

This is one of my favourite episodes! It's always fun to see other agents besides Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue on assignment with them too. ^_^

Spoiling us again 😊

Woohooo Hells Yeah! Captain Scarlet lives on!! I loved this series back when it was a puppet show!

Didn't realise there was a remake, had the action figures and Skybase toy as a kid (with the angels of course). Hope todays kids can enjoy it as much as we did, excellent series, launched mine and many others love of sci-fi!

One of the best episodes.

This show is just as good as the original

Wish they had more Mars or Moon episodes🌜🌛🌚🌝, regardless... Anything that gives more info on the Mysterons is awesomeness personified 👍🏻😄

I love these hidden gems on RU-vid

Found myself smiling all thru it.thanks

I loved Captain Scarlet as a child, nice to see it getting a reboot, but it really needs to have the old theme tune and opening sequence, just not the same without them

Reminder set 👌

Fantastic, as a kid I used to watch the reruns of this, the original series of course aired before I was alive but this is a real treat to see, thank you so much !

Love the drop-ship scene... so Aliens! :)

This is the first CGI version I’ve seen. Watched the puppets back in the 70’s as a kid and loved the program, still do. With this, at first, not too impressed but that surprise ending was classic Gerry Anderson and redeemed it for me. I still prefer the original but the story line here did end well.

Loved this program as a child & really enjoyed this,too. Kudos💥👊❤💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👋✌

Darker and in many ways better than the original - all it needed was some of Barry Gray's music

Obviously Spectrum's airborne warfare school does not include watching 'Independence Day', given that no-one on Cloudbase seems to have expected that Mysteron dreadnought to be equipped with shields. Regarding Colonel White's comments about the 'war of nerves' entering a new phase, one feeling I got from this series was that the slow nature of a war based on terrorism and infiltration was as wearing on the Mysterons as it was on Earth and they were increasingly looking for a quick win. Maybe their leadership had promised their people a quick and relatively easy retaliatory campaign and weren't able to deliver; indeed, the humans were even beginning to push back into Martian space, only being stopped by luck on most occasions. Facing internal unrest, they were forced to adopt ever more overt and conventional strategies. Honestly, I've never bought that that Mysterons' goal is conquest or even general destruction. There are several episodes that show that their technology and understanding of the fabric of reality so superior that they could annihilate the human race almost without effort. Yet, instead, they play mind games and commit terrorist atrocities. Why? Maybe, that's because their goal is only to frighten and hurt humanity the way that humanity hurt them. Exactly tit-for-tat. The real question is: What is their idea of 'proportionate response'?

Ah the childhood memories

Well, that was an unexpected bonus to my morning.

The Angel fighters look awesome.

It hasn't quite got the same charm as the 60s puppet show, but i do like how they capture the same facial features and overall look and outfits from that show. It's very faithful in it's overall look.

8:14 for a CGI animated show from 2004 it did had it's beauty shot moment's, this look glorious in HD

mi personaje favorito en mi infancia!!!!!

Love this series, an underrated British jem 🇬🇧💎😄‼️

That was most excellent! Thank You -- story was terrific

Favourite episode from CGI Series. Watched it last week too 🙂

Lucky old Captain Black having Destiny all over him like that. Presumably in that sequence she'd had a couple of children and was still hotter than her aircraft's afterburner.

SIG captain !

Something about this reminds me of Thunderbirds. Yeah. I'm that old.

I'm suspicious. All the flying saucers in Gerry Anderson productions spin, and this one isn't spinning.

This is the voice of the Mister Rons ...vee know you can hear us earthling ....

Gerry is the master of Sci-fi. Well done..

Brilliantly done, well made and intelligent.

Not those damn Mysterons again! They were at it when I was a kid.

I loved this puppet superseries at the beginning, they did a few episodes, as well as the thunderbird are go... now in excellent 3d... the first episode as it is titled...

Excellent.

I haven't seen Captain Scarlet in soooo long~! This made me so happy! :^)

I really enjoyed this series.

Great episode!

Good to see the Angel Interceptors are taking off from the beginning. Also, it`s a great view they gave us that the Angels are in formation flight. This reminds me of Clay Lacy`s aerial footage during the '80s and '90s and I think the white-painted fuselage really sets off in wild blue yonder. The Angel Interceptors really showed the combat capabilities and the potential they got in this episode and I really loved to see those jets swaggering through the sky. It was impressive to see the Interceptors return to the Skybase for rearming, getting ready for the next outbound run. The Skybase`s hangers are equipped with fully automated systems that contribute and succeed in minimizing their turnaround time to be relaunched. Speaking on military mind bases, in this case, the other squadrons will take off to continue the mission while just returned teams are being worked on however, the Spectrum seems like they are really concentrated on operating just 5 precious Angel interceptors are enough to be deployed without any backup units. I also found out that the skids on each wingtip are not missiles` launching rails, but they are "the skids" to act as the landing gears. This time and regretfully, Spectrum did swallow a bitter pill, however, they will take this opportunity to leap forward for the next battle. The Spectrum will collect every one of the evidence as gathering intelligence for the countermeasure and be ready for whatever the Mysteron`s outcome might be. I felt a strong will in Colonel White`s words in the last scene, as the Angels` white wings are taking off behind him.

That was hella cool.

Man this takes me back to the late 60's and an independent tv channel from Boston. Channel 38 and the Willy Whistle show after school. Sigh.........the years of flown by so fast.

Missing Francis Matthews's Cary Grant impersonation. Decent attempt for the video game generations though.

A whole lot better than back in my day (on or about the mid 60s 😎)

It's time for the Captain Scarlet feature film ! Actors + CGI (see, for example, the sequel to Tron). True to the franchise, cast properly, and with a complex and great plot.

Thunderbird was my favourite til I discovered Captain Scarlett. It was just so amazing and the stories were so gooood.

Love the new intro.

Mysterons still so very butthurt after all these years.

Looking back at the Supermarionation series, I wonder why they never developed an EMP gun for the Angels like scarlet used in that Safari episode?

Great episode

Okay, this brings back memories! Aaaaaand now I'm off to play XCom!!!

Excellent

Ooo what this. There that Thunderbird feel for it.

I love this.

The old one has more of a realistic feel of real life to it then this one

Great series

18:04 They Recreated that scene from the First Episode, and I just realized that Captain Scarlet's Appearance looks very different than when this series started

love to see this re done with better animation

"THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS NA NA, NA NA NA!"

Brilliant

Someone in the CGI wardrobe for got the shades worn by Juliette Pontoin and her fellow pilots, aside from that very entertaining.

Brilliant I wish you would make more or get it rerun on uk tv

Wish they would make more of these! PS they need SKY 1

Hard to believe it’s twenty years old

Well now we know who's pulling all the strings....

This is better that I though

I like it.

I guess knock was a good idea!

19:18 true words

I think I can only second other people's opinion here - this was criminally treated back in 2005, and should be reconstructed as a new series - maybe on Netflix, where it could fly - with all the episodes from the classic series remastered and put together with the new stuff, you'd have plenty of content for at least 2 full seasons, or a couple of seasons if you went for less than 26 episodes per season...

Looks good but they SERIOUSLY need a hard remix of the classic theme. It was such a big part of the original show - a very important of the character. That pulse pounding theme tune set you up for the show. In the same way as Bond, mission impossible, thundercats , 70's Superman, Star Wars, Joe 90, Thunderbirds, Knight Rider, Starsky & Hutch, Airwolf - I could go on. . . even Hart to Hart had iconic theme tune. Let's get the classic theme tunes back. I'm baffled why theme tunes have become SO generic and disposable in the last 25 years. One only has to hear a classic theme tune and it's an instant hit of nostalgic great feeling. Get the Captain Scarlet theme tune back! One of the best around - Iconic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jJimczjxOpo.html (instrumental version) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H1ZG3i-0q-s.html (8-bit) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pLNp4tlB-Vk.html (fan tribute😅)

I'm going to have to look up information on this, never heard of this before now, and I watch a ton of animation both mainstream and independent.

What!? No puppets!!?? What's this world coming to?

I've just realised Scarlet is Horrid Henry's Dad
