Total Natural Colored Ultra Q

About This Movie

Total Natural Colored Ultra Q is a fascinating artifact for fans of classic kaiju and television history. This 2013 release is a unique assemblage of colored versions of select episodes from the original Ultra Q series, namely 1, 20, 19, and 15. The pacing feels a bit disjointed, but that’s part of its charm, as it juxtaposes distinct stories and visual styles. The atmosphere remains quintessentially eerie, with practical effects that harken back to the show's roots in the late 60s. The performances are very much in line with the original series' tone, contributing to its nostalgic feel, while the colorization adds a fresh layer—although some may argue it detracts from the original's monochromatic aesthetic. Overall, it’s an interesting exploration of how color changes the perception of classic episodes.

This film is a rarity in the collector's market, given its niche appeal and the limited nature of its theatrical release. The colorization process is a point of contention among purists, but it has sparked interest in both casual viewers and serious collectors. Formats are scarce, especially in high quality, which adds to its allure for those seeking to complete their Ultra Q collections.
