Jeff and his older sons John, Virgil, Scott, and Gordon, who like Alan were named after the Mercury Seven astronauts are joined in this effort by Lady Penelope and her butler/chauffeur Parker. Their futuristic hardware is largely developed by a genius scientist knownBrains, who lives at the International Rescue base on Tracy Island, somewhere in the Pacific.
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 want to this movie for several reasons: first, to see if the reviews I'd heard were accurate. Second, to see if my fears about the quality of the key characters were justified, and thirdly (and for me most importantly) to see the building where I work. The crew had taken over the office building which by day is the humble home of a major software company in Europe (situated close to Pinewood Studios) and turned it into San Francisco City Hospital. and I wasn't disappointed on any count.<br/><br/>The reviews were pretty accurate, if not a little unfair. There was a good mix of humour, action, kid's stuff, in fact very much like the original TV series. it had, for me, a kind of familiar feel to it.<br/><br/>The acting was very mixed, I thought: of all the characters called Tracy, Bill Paxton was, of course, the best. The others weren't up to much. The interaction with Brains and Fermat was a little better, and Ben Kingsley led his team of underlings with menace. But the best characters were those I was most afraid of - Lady Penelope and Parker. They were 'very good, Milady'. More so that I would have thought or hoped.<br/><br/>And my office? All the dressing they did was a little signage. And it looked the part. Even got into the credits!<br/><br/>Overall? If you have expectations of quality, you'll be disappointed. If you go with an open mind and are ready to be entertained, you'll have a good couple of hours. 3/5.
This is a truly awful film. What they have done is taken a TV show, which was never aimed at young children & given it the George Lucas treatment (i.e. ruined it by kiddifying it to appeal to the younger audience).<br/><br/>OK so the Thunderbirds TV show wasn't exactly the most cerebral of shows, in fact it was pretty formulaic, but it was always enjoyable to watch (especially when the models got blown up) and the voice cast wasn't too bad.<br/><br/>This suffers from bad casting & bad acting (with the notable exceptions of Sophia MylesLady Penelope & Ron CookParker, who seem to be the only cast members to have a clue about how their characters should be played) & after this travesty I wouldn't let Frakes direct traffic.<br/><br/>The whole point of Thunderbirds was that it was about the whole Tracy family & how they workeda team, preventing disasters or coming to the rescue of those involved in disasters.<br/><br/>Avoid this rubbish like the plague.<br/><br/>I only give it 1 out of 10 because a zero rating is not supported.
Watching a misfire like Thunderbirds illustrates how impressive the "Spy Kids" movies are.
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.
