pocketmoney Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't think any of the Tracy boys have done any risk management assessments or have an OH&S officer at work. Give me the original any day of the week, although I won't write it off just yet as it was just the first in the series. I do like the fact they are using models for the backdrops and scenery, just not a fan of the CG style used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Arcade King Posted April 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2015 I liked it, except wtf did they do to brains? on the plus side the backgrounds look like models and not CGI. Your always going to get disgruntle old farts wanting things to be just like the "olden days" (me included I have the boxset) but I understand they were looking for a wider audience not just the 50 year old kids clinging on to their childhood :D. Just for once I'd like to hear an unbiased opinion from somebody who's never seen the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ20TT Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sounds like I'm in the minority here. I quite liked it. While it is CGI - they really tried hard to capture the feel of the original "super Marionation" series - especially around the eyes of the characters and the overall look of the animation. The iconic getting ready to launch scenes were true to the originals for each of the Thunderbirds and brought a small tear to my eye. Even the underwater rescue in the first half was not too far removed from similar scenes I recall TB4 was involved in. Watching it surrounded by the kids on the couch really added to the feels I got - reminded me of being a kid and watching it with Dad and my brother back in the day.
