a5c7b9f00b Having narrowly averted a major disaster on an oil rig, the Thunderbirds have just returned home to their secret base when TB5, their space based station, is critically damaged in a suspected meteor strike. Unbeknown to them, the attack on TB5 is a deliberate ploy by international master criminal Aristotle Spode to get them off the island. He takes over the island and forces Brains into submission, using the power of his mind. But Spode has overlooked one key factor: Alan, Fermat and Tin Tin are still on the island.
When The Hood finds and invades International Rescue's secret base and traps most of the Tracy family, only young Alan Tracy and his friends can save the day.
At some point in Hollywood's history, somebody had the genius idea of making a live action version of the classic puppet show THUNDERBIRDS. Being Hollywood, at the same time they made it suitable for American audiences by destroying all of the old fashioned British style that people loved it for in the first place. So in this version of THUNDERBIRDS, we get dumb humour, sexual innuendo, martial arts, and extremely exaggerated acting.<br/><br/>What's most amazing about this film is that they somehow wasted fifty-seven million dollars on making it. Pity poor Jonathan Frakes, STAR TREK actor and director, for ruining his movie directorial career with this film (he's only worked in television since). Watching it, you'll wonder where all that money was spent. THUNDERBIRDS the film is a cheap and cheesy vehicle of excess that makes SPICE WORLD look like a movie classic. The whole thing looks like it was filmed on a green screen with awful CGI effects throughout.<br/><br/>The character work is even worse. Pity poor old Bill Paxton, who has never been so stiffthe senior Tracy. Sophia Myles, an actress I usually love in most stuff, is awfully woodenthe plummy Lady Penelope. Only Anthony Edwards and Ron CookBrains and Parker respectively get close to their original puppet characters. The less said about Ben Kingsley's ham acting, the better. As for the kids, they're the worst thing about this; they look like boy band rejects and it comeslittle surprise that the awful boy band Busted sing an updated version of the theme song over the closing credits. As an action lover, the worst thing about this for me were the fight scenes, which are among the worst ever seen; stars like Myles throw their hands around randomly and are doubled for every little leap. It's cringe worthy. THUNDERBIRDS is the type of film that'll make any sane viewer want to tear their own eyeballs out; it really is that awful.
A fair attempt at an action film - will keep both adults and kids entertained. <br/><br/>I only have two gripes about this film <br/><br/>1) it's based around the kids of the Thunderbirds, not the T-birds themselves [why do modern action films think to appeal to kids you need to have kids in it - Star Wars didn't - kids want to be like adult heroes, not like other kids] <br/><br/>2) Ford (the car company) are plastered everywhere. Just how much did they pay to put their cars in every shot? It's not quite The Italian Job is it?<br/><br/>Worse ways of spending an afternoon - but let's hope the sequel (there will be one!) is based around the adults and not the kids.
It's a pretty entertaining, extremely good-looking cinematic blip–not important, not outstanding, but better than a lot of PG stuff that attempts to reach both parents and their 8-year-old kids.
According to publicity material, the film is set in 2020, six years before the first episode of the series. This may appear not to be canon to the TV series, and in fact isn't, but this is not a fault of the filmmakers. In the Christmas episode "Give or Take a Million", we see a calendar with the year 2026. It has since been stated that this year was a mistake by the propmaker and should have been 2065, the year that Gerry Anderson wanted the series to be set in, and is generally accepted to be the case. But where Alan Tracy is 21 in the series, in the film he is 15, so the year corresponds correctly. Yes, there are quite a few:<br/><br/>Characters' ages: Many of the characters are younger in the film than in the show. As this film is supposedly set six years before the series' pilot (ignoring the fact that the episode features International Rescue's first mission) then this is feasible. However this is not applied to everyone; Lady Penelope and Parker are clearly around the ages given to them in the show (27 and 55, respectively) and Brains is also older - although that may because of another change; he's a father!<br/><br/>New characters: Yes, Brains has a son in the film, Fermat. Along with Onaha, wife of Jeff Tracy's manservant Kyrano, these two characters were created specifically for the film,were The Hood's associates, Transom and Mullion.<br/><br/>Pilots: Jeff Tracy is seen flying Thunderbird 2 at the beginning of the film, with Virgil seemingly his co-pilot. Virgil is never seen flying her solo. The most obvious change is that Gordon Tracy is shown here to be the pilot of space rocket Thunderbird 3. In the series he was the aquanaut in charge of submarine Thunderbird 4, a role apparently given to Alan at the end of the film, going by the yellow colour-coding of his International Rescue uniform. <br/><br/>The Hood: Sir Ben Kingsley's character actually calls himself by this name in the film,wellbeing referred toThe Hood by other characters. The Hood was never mentioned by name in the TV series, only in other media suchcomics and publicity material.<br/><br/>FAB 1: Lady Penelope's famous pink Rolls Royce limousine of the TV show becomes a modified Ford Thunderbird car in the film. This is due to BMW, holders of the Rolls Royce marque, refusing to allow the filmmakers to use it. The new version does bear some trademarks of its TV counterpart, suchthe glass canopy, six-wheel drive, and "special features" - although the version in the series did not fly…<br/><br/>Tin-Tin's powers: Unlike the TV series, in the film Tin-tin is shown to possess and use the same telekinetic/mind control powersher uncle, The Hood.<br/><br/>Uniforms: International Rescue uniforms are completely different in the film than the TV series, although they are colour-coded like those in the show. Also, there are no hats, although an ice cream seller (a cameo by the film's visual effects supervisor, Mark Nelmes) can be briefly seen to be wearing a white version of the original TV series hat in the sequence where Thunderbird 2 lands in London. Jonathan Frakes confirms in the DVD commentary that this was a deliberate reference.<br/><br/> This footage was originally part of the sequence in the film where FAB1 approaches Tracy Island by sea. This scene originally concluded with The Hood firing a missile and destroying the car, forcing Lady Penelope and Parker to make the rest of the journey in the pedalo, but this was cut, and the pedalo footage moved to the end of the film. Simple answer: because Ford paid a lot of money for them to be there! The company struck a product placement deal with the filmmakers, which included Lady Penelope's car, FAB 1, being a modified Ford Thunderbirdopposed to the original series' Rolls Royce, though this wasmuch the fault of the marque holder, BMW, not allowing it to be used. The placement of Ford vehicles throughout the film is so blatant and almost absurdly extensive that director Jonathan Frakes even suggests on his DVD commentary that it is detrimental to the filma whole. He has a point.
