"The complete package is a labor of love from the people most responsible for the series... from top to bottom they have managed to put together one hell of a release that will not only please the diehard fan-base, but blows away the DVD presentation of many of its peers".

"Captain Power has weathered a quarter century pretty well. A program that revolutionized television production (and) managed to tell solid sci-fi stories in a format accessible to all ages… this is one of those shows you can still watch and enjoy as an adult."
- The Digital Bits
"Can you name another TV series back in 1987 that integrated interactive effects with CGI and live action and also possessed a mature storyline with powerful writing? Believe me when I say that the feature length documentary is worth the price of the set alone, we really had no idea how much work went into the making of the series. It’s an incredibly enlightening behind the scenes look at the show with numerous interviews with the stars as well as the people who bled and sweat to bring it to us."

"One of the best Science Fiction and superhero stories of the 1980s. It was awesome!"
- Newsarama

"Out Of The Ashes is the best retrospective documentary I’ve seen since Never Sleep Again."
