Reviews

Critically, Thunderbirds Are GO received a mixed reception upon its release. With an IMDb rating of 6.4/10 and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 57%, reviews range from praising its visual achievements to critiquing its plot depth. The New York Times noted, "The film is a dazzling visual feast that showcases some impressive stop-motion animation techniques, making it a delightful experience for fans of the genre." On the other hand, some critics felt the story lacked the tight narrative of the television series. A review from The Guardian stated, "While the visuals shine and the puppetry is impressive, the plot meanders, failing to ignite the same excitement found in the show." Metacritic reflects these sentiments with a mixed average score, suggesting that while it appeals to die-hard fans, it may not fully engage first-time viewers. The film remains a nostalgic piece of pop culture, appreciated for its technical achievements and beloved characters, despite its narrative shortcomings.
