Thunderbirds: The Complete Series(TV) (1965-1966)No synopsis for Thunderbirds: The Complete Series. For more about Thunderbirds: The Complete Series and the Thunderbirds: The Complete Series Blu-ray release, see Thunderbirds: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on May 21, 2015 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Gerry Anderson Starring: Shane Rimmer, Peter Dyneley, Sylvia Anderson, Ray Barrett, David Graham Composer: Barry Gray » See full cast & crew Thunderbirds: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Video QualityThunderbirds: The Complete Series is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Timeless Media Group, an imprint of Shout! Factory, with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.33:1. That original aspect ratio should be good news for the show's fans, as a cropped 1.78:1 version has been circulating for a while. Even better news is the fact that the elements are in near pristine condition, with a healthy, well balanced palette which offers the sometimes bright, vivid primaries (especially blues) with exceptional pop. Sharpness and clarity are quite good throughout the presentation, while occasionally being just slightly variable (as should be expected) in some opticals. Grain is also quite healthy looking, at times again slightly variable, with some "outdoor" scenes having a bit more visible grain field than "interior" moments. Though the show is remembered of course for its marionettes and exceptional miniatures, Anderson wasn't shy about occasionally using stock live action footage, as in one episode which includes a bunch of sometimes funny footage of various beasts in a jungle, all from highly disparate source elements which offer vastly different overall color temperatures and states of disrepair. The increased resolution of this high definition presentation often makes the puppets' strings more than visible, but that only kind of adds to the show's already considerable charm, as far as I'm concerned. Those understandable anomalies aside, the bulk of this effort offers a beautifully colorful, precise looking transfer which should please the series' many fans. Thunderbirds: The Complete Series Blu-ray, Audio QualityWhile Thunderbirds: The Complete Series offers a bombastic repurposed lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, purists may want to stick with the also included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono track which offers a better rendering of the series' original sonic virtues. While the 5.1 mix certainly adds enormous "oomph" to the show's low end effects (like rocket thrusters), it can also tend to overpower dialogue slightly at times, leading to occasional prioritization issues. While the mono track has considerably less force (and even amplitude), it can sound a bit more focused at times, with dialogue ringing out cleanly and clearly. That said, Barry Gray's iconic music helps to make the 5.1 mix extremely enjoyable, offering sterling clarity and great punch to the fantastic brass drenched cues.
