Did You home scan or are these lab scans? You'll notice that the base film material is a different color than the usual color negative film. Lab scatters can't handle it at all, and it causes the blue to be negated in lab scans. If You run this through camera scanning and then use negative lab Pro or if you use film lab desktop 3.0, you will see a dramatically different color profile. You Will still see the crazy halations because it has no anti-halation layer, whereas basically all other color negative films have one layer dedicated to halation. Two pieces of advice if you have another roll, use a 1/8 promist filter to knock down the halation. Then treat it like slide film, the stock only has maybe three or four stops of dynamic range so you will see better results if you concentrate the frame within that dynamic range.
If You haven't got a home scanning rig yet, I strongly recommend the Valoi Easy35 as an all-in-one fantastic solution.

I haven`t tried it yet. It`s not available in my area still. But looking at the photos so far, I am not sure to be honest. Not at this price. I am happy to have new color film maker, but shooting with film is expensive, and I am not sure people would go and shoot often with this film, at least not at this price. Harman should lower the price to 8-9 dollars so people would buy it more often. It looks like experimental film, which you buy mostly occasionally. I highly doubt people will buy this over Gold or Color Plus or other film stocks if they don`t change something.
