Behold Eck!

An intelligent and mild mannered optician puts on a pair of wondrous, technological glasses, which give hin the power to see a two dimensional creature, which is stranded on Earth, he and his secretary try to help, and get the creature home.

The first time I watched it, I didn't really care for it, I focused too heavily on it, the dodgy special effects and sheer absurdity of if all, however I felt if was worth a second look.

Second time round, I actually rather enjoyed it, the first thing I have to applaud, the boldness of the story, the second thing being the sheer originality of it.

I get the impression that this was written with a little bit of tongue in cheek, even the creatures name, Eck, points to a bit of frivolity.

I enjoyed the brotherly rivalry, their competitiveness, two siblings with very different mindsets, you can imagine it would have been a riot in that household with those two growing up.

I've seen better special effects on the show, I don't think they got them quite right here.

7/10.
