Man that is one annoying website.
Trailer looks good, at least the production design is unique. I hope it's not too Lost in Space-y.
Now if they make a live action ThunderCATS, I'm all in!

Cool... as a kid I watched it on tv, but I got tired of SUPER-MARRIONATION! This looks fun! Now to dig out all my old toys. Glad Frakes is making a solid film.

Getting Ben kingsley and Anthony edwards is a very good bit of casting, I grew up with Thunderbirds and I used to love the modelwork on this show, but I preferred a show called Captain Scarlett, done by the same team but had better stories and was a little bit darker (for a kids show). But I'm very much looking forword to this.

Well, I've watched teh most recent trailer again.
I like the candy-colored layout of the movie - it's certainly interesting visually and it'll be fun to see the 'birds in action.
But... this looks like a crappy kids movie. Not a movie aimed at kids, mind you - nothing wrong with that - but a movie ABOUT and FEATURING crappy kids. "Time to thunderize"? What the hell? The word "Thunder" wasn't powerful enough, they had to empower the word "thunder"? No sense, I tell you!
Kingsley has a familiar look on his face, that of "think of the new swimming pool... think of the new swimming pool..."
We'll see how the film is, I suppose. But if it's as bad as the trailer... God help us.

Looked juvenile to me too, and that is one badly designed website.

The word 'organization'....is it spelled with an S or a Z? I thought it was a Z, but in the trailer it is spelled with an S, so that trailer may actually have a typo in it...

I used to have an old Nintendo game based on Thunderbirds. That thing was so hard sometimes that I just wanted to cry. That trailer also makes me cry. But that's because of other reasons.
I hope I got my point across there.

What I like is that they didn't change the ship designs.
That's what they did with the Lost in Space film and it suffered for it. They also changed the design of the Lost in Space robot.
The fans of these shows remember these things fondly and when they change them they notice and don't like it.
Star Trek did this right and so is this one.
This one looks good to me and I am looking forward to it.

Yea, i watched the trailer the other day and thought it was a bit too "kiddy" also. I liked how it was before in the orginal version but now having it being this way might turn me away from this.

Jeez.
I was looking forward to this in an avengers kind of way, but saw a trailer over the weekend, that pretty much made it look like Spy Kids part 4.
Sucktiude levels heretofore unknown.
