- 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.
- I cannot comprehend the low rating on this film. Yes, the plot was a little weak from an adult's perspective, but overall this was one of the best family movies we've seen in a while. Put yourself in the shoes of an 8 year old and you're looking at 90 minutes of pure excitement, complete with incredible special effects, and a story that works. There's plenty of enjoyment for the parents, and best of all, only one mild expletive in the whole thing. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the quality of this movie and our kids (5 and 9) absolutely loved it. I know they're in bed right now dreaming about how cool it would be to be a Thunderbird!
- I took my two youngest kids (9 and 5) to see this and, yes, I was prepared for the worst. It got a dreadful review in the local paper and there was just no way that a live action blockbuster version of my favourite childhood program (well, along with Captain Scarlet and Joe 90) would be anything other than a travesty...<br/><br/>Except that I quite enjoyed it :)<br/><br/>Look, ignore the spoilers' comments below. It's good fun and terrific to see the Thunderbirds mighty machines looking so impressive on screen. Yes I was a bit miffed at first to see Geoff at the controls rather than his accustomed role of island-bound martinet. And yes, Alan is a tad annoying - but then he always was - the (ahem) more mature among you will remember the terrible extended 'Swinging Star' dream sequence in Thunderbirds Are Go.<br/><br/>But there are lots of things to like about this film. Lady P and Parker are brought to life wonderfully by Sophia Myles and Ron Cook. They have some great nudge nudge wink wink lines. And Ben Kingsley plays The Hood with a nice balance of camp and menace. For me these three easily steal the show.<br/><br/>All in all, FAB.<br/><br/>Now, what about Captain Scarlet ?
- Without fail its upbeat cheesy wholesomeness is always good for a smile.
- 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, as 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, as well as being referred to as The Hood by other characters. The Hood was never mentioned by name in the TV series, only in other media such as comics 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, such as the 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 powers as her 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 Thunderbird as opposed to the original series' Rolls Royce, though this was as much 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 film as a whole. He has a point. a5c7b9f00b
