Power Pack

The "Power pack" pilot, considered a movie by IMDb, is not very fun or entertaining. Maybe it's unfair to judge a show made for kids in 1991, but other shows from that time (and before it) still holds water, to some extent. This one does not.

Instead of an origin story, you find the family (where all four kids have superpowers) moving into a new area. But other than the youngest kid staring out of a window a bit, this does not really affect the rest of the plot. The plot of the episode is that one of the kids (secretly) uses his power to get himself and some kids he has just met into an abandoned house. In there they find lots of spooky stuff, and the kid steals an amulet. When he comes home, the amulet starts calling out to him, and together with two of his siblings, he goes back to return it to the house. The last sibling (who has super speed) only uses her power to do chores.

The only highlights in this that I can think of, are the special effects used on the shrinking power, and the super speed power. Both look quite neat, compared to the rest of the relatively cheap production.
