Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet (2005)

In the dynamic revival of Gerry Anderson's cult classic series from the 1960s, 'New Captain Scarlet' hits the screens, reimagining the former puppet show into an awe-inspiring animated spectacle of the century. The series employs cutting-edge motion-capture CGI, transforming the characters into lifelike figures that move with convincing fluidity. Each riveting 22-minute episode is a whirlwind of thrilling action, stunning visuals and gripping storylines, making 'New Captain Scarlet' feel like a blockbuster movie experience right at home. The plot unfolds when an enigmatic extraterrestrial signal originating from Mars catches the attention of Spectrum, the world's security organization. Agents Captain Scarlet and Captain Black are sent on a reconnaissance mission that leads them to the startling discovery of an immense alien city materializing before them. Misinterpreting an alien probe as a threat, Captain Black annihilates the city, which prompts an immediate retaliation from its inhabitants - the Mysterons. These formidable aliens possess the power of retro-metabolism, enabling them to rebuild their destroyed city, and more alarmingly, to 'Mysteronise' any being or object. Once transformed, these agents work towards humanity's downfall. Spectrum, helmed by Colonel White from their soaring Skybase, mobilizes a team of colour-coded agents, lethal Angel Interceptors, robust Rhinos, and swift Raid bikes to combat the Mysteron menace. Captain Scarlet, one of Spectrum's elite agents, becomes the linchpin in the ongoing conflict. Initially a Mysteron agent, Scarlet rebels against his conditioning, regaining his loyalty to Spectrum and becoming indestructible in the process. Alongside the courageous and astute Captain Blue, Captain Scarlet devotes himself to the protection of Earth, standing as humanity's last line of defense against the relentless Mysterons.
