Quatermass revisited
Only two of the original six Quatermass Experiment episodes survived so we are deprived of seeing the serial which shocked TV viewers in 1953. This 2005 version, featuring David Tennant, Adrian Dunbar and Mark Gatiss, attempts to recreate this sci-fi classic in a live, one-take recording. It's a brave attempt but this condensed version lacks the building tension and shock element of the original. It does, however, reflect the original script with upgraded science and special effects. Unlike the weak Hammer film version, the alien monster is destroyed by Quatermass appealing to the last vestiges of humanity remaining within it. But any real shock impact is entirely lost from this remake in the complete lack of monster! The voracious, rapidly growing alien / human / plant creature is never shown. In the original, our glimpses of the 'thing' taking over the astronaut's body and the final growing mass in Westminster Abbey were key to the story. So it's worth a look but could, indeed should have been so much better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not as good as the original
I have a copy of the original black and white DVD which is MUCH better. I did not find the characters at all believable (even though I'm a real fan of both David Tennant AND Adrian Dunbar. Acting in front of a live audience may have given more of a spontaneous feeling but certainly yet another case (as with Invasion of the Body Snatchers) when the original was the better version.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Rubbish
If you want the real Quatermass? You should stick with the original B&W films. This was obviously done on a tiny budget and just doesn't work. Avoid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Its OK, but not breaking any ground
Overall whilst not bad, it was not really that engaging. I found the characters a tad too earnest for my liking. The original was ground breaking, this just felt like a series of tropes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
