Thunderbirds Are Go (2015–2020)

Exciting C.G.I remake with minor flaws

[8/10 · 5 April 2015]

having seen the trailers advertising the up and coming Remake I was eagerly waiting to see it start on our screens and it doesn't disappoint. The opening sequence of 5,4,3,2,1 has be preserved with Jeff Tracey's voice over. The C.G.I is as you would expect is excellent, beautiful detail and all the 5 thunderbird crafts have been faithfully reproduced.and so to is Tracey Island. Thunderbird 1 and 2 still emerge from under the swimming pool and cave retrospectively and exactly as in original series. Its nice that Parker is voiced by the original actor again and Sylvia Anderson who voiced Lady Penelope is voicing the Auntie this time, and the Hood is still with us! on the critical side. I don't know why Brains has an Indian accent it doesn't sound right. The original Brains had a stutter which was part of his character. the eyes of the boys and lady Penelope still light up in the picture frames when they want to make contact but when answered become a full hologram now. and Now the pink rolls can fly. and there is no Jeff Tracey, and some of the costumes are not quite right. But these are minor gripes on the whole it's Brilliant and looking forward to the rest of the series to unfold!
