Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

m-ozfirat The Gerry Anderson shows done in the 1960s especially the puppet entertainment were then as are now very captivating and charming done in an age were animation was the dominant format. Unlike now were everything is digital or electronic based wanting to produce state of the art the puppet format had elegance and was realistic rather then superficial wanting to produce art. In the era of the swinging sixties Anderson produced great entertainment such as Thunderbirds but Stingray has a romantic attraction to it rather then one of espionage although it still follows the same format of Cold War propaganda it is none the less written well for adventure and action that keeps everyone entertained. The characters are not just Macho or Marshall but are genuine and their lead role being based on merit and the key female Marina is a genuine beauty with Grecian elegance. The music is also good and captivating. The setting is very sixties though in a more technological format as it was then. The adventures under water stresses the mystery of the Sea and the use of imagination of the audience for a good thriller. A classic that will stand the test of time in an era of limited creativity.

Dalbert Pringle With its emphasis on fast-paced, underwater action/adventure, Stingray is an entertaining, half-hour TV program featuring puppet-people, or marionettes, acting out the stories on miniature, elaborately-built sets.Created by Gerry Anderson, British, producer, writer and director, Stingray is the name given to a fantastically sleek and highly-sophisticated combat sub that has the awesome power to travel at 600 knots per hour and submerge to depths of 36,000 feet.Set at the fictitious base in Marineville, California (in the year 2065), this mid-1960s TV show is really quite enjoyable to watch and it is often unintentionally hilarious, especially when the puppet people (with their over-sized heads and blank stares) stiffly move around the mini-sets, carrying on as if they were real, human actors, or whatever.The Stingray sub is commanded by the dashing and brave Captain Troy Tempest who takes his orders from the head of the "World Aquanaut Security Patrol" (WASP), Commander Samuel Shore, who operates from WASP's land-based headquarters in Marineville.On a regular basis Troy Tempest and his loyal Stingray partner, George "Phones" Sheridan, are having to deal with the destructively diabolical doings initiated by the wicked warlord, Titan, king of the ruthless Aquaphibians from the undersea city of Titanica.You can be sure that (when it comes to saving the day) Troy Tempest is right on the job, seeing that justice will be served.Filmed in living color, Stingray was a weekly show that ran for only one season.

drspecter Stingray is my favorite Supermarionation show by far! The themes are often strangely adult, we're shown Troy Tempest's dreams in some of the episodes, and there's a lot of unrequited desire between the puppets. Not surprisingly, the puppets drink pretty often.This is not to dismiss the technical aspects of the show usually harped on. The look of the show is amazing, representing a larger, color version of the outlandish production design of the nifty Fireball XL-5. The Stingray itself is as mod-looking as the Batmobile. In fact, I'd say Stingray had to have been a major influence of the TV incarnation of Batman (1966.) (Kids could watch it for the action, adults could watch it for the humor and weird sexual tension.) And the music of Barry Gray is excellent as always.I'm 35 and never saw Stingray as a child. But, despite the lack of a personal nostalgia factor, I must make room for it among my all-time favorite shows. It's pure escapism, but with a caricatured sense of human nature. For me, Thunderbirds and the other Anderson shows just became increasingly flat, with the puppets looking more and more like mannequins.When it comes to marionettes, I get my kicks under water!

Big Movie Fan I liked Stingray a lot. It was a great Gerry Anderson show right up there with Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet.It was quite a depressing show in a way. I don't know what it is but I find anything set underwater depressing. The bottom of the ocean doesn't look like a nice place even in real life. It was quite a gloomy show. I suppose the evil villain called Titan added to the gloom.However, just when things were getting too gloomy Troy Tempest and Phones (and the beautiful Marina) went into action in Stingray to combat Titan and his evil plans. This show was a 25 minute show which was just the right length to set up a story and action.I may be crazy saying this but as a child I found Atlanta and Marina extremely beautiful which probably added to my enjoyment of the show.
