ULTRAMAN REVIEW - This is the first episode of the 60's Japanese sci fi series Ultraman.
The Science Patrol is a high-tech unit designed to protect the Earth from threats from space. A mysterious red and a blue glowing ball enter our atmosphere, the blue ball lands in a lake, witnessed by a bunch of campers, the red one accidentally collides with the VTOL craft of SP member Hayata. He is merged with the mysterious alien from Nebula M713 and in times of danger becomes Ultraman.
A monster called Bemula appears from the lake and it is up to our hero to save the day, with his Ultra-powers.
The FX from the Tsubaraya production team (the man behind Godzilla), look a little dated, but this just adds to the charm of the show.
Audio is in Japanese with removable English subs or English dubbed. The colours are slightly faded, but overall it looks pretty good for a 60's low budget show.
