Customer Reviews of Thunderbirds Are Go
The Child In Me Sez... AHHH!! I must have seen this piece of pure 60's kids-film-that-adults-love-more, more than 50 times. And I STILL get a kick out of it! Considering it was made an astonishing 34 years ago, this movie version of the incredible television series still manages to impress with its special effects, tonque-in-cheek humour and action. In fact, if you love Austin Powers, James Bond and the (TV!) Avengers, then you'll LOVE this. The design of the massive ZERO-X spacecraft is actually rather good and might even work very well in reality, but would be VERY expensive to build. But you see, that's part of the appeal of the 60's Gerry and Sylvia Anderson productions. They were larger than life, gloriously impractical and very groovy. There were hard working, smart and very canny artists behind this and other 'Supermarionation' productions. And they did corporate franchise stuff years before Star Trek and Star Wars, but with only half the cynicism and twice the heart. Do yourselves a favour: If you're unfamiliar with them, trust me and buy ALL Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray and especially UFO products. And I'm VERY glad that DVD versions of this stuff is now available. They deserve it!
THUNDERBIRDS in Their First Full-Length Feature Film!
Blatantly using footage, props and plot from the first episode of "Captain Scarlet", as well as a couple of their own episodes, Man is off to Mars to see what it can see. But before they get there, they have to solve a case of sabotage aboard the fascinating "Zero-X" space vehicle. And who you gonna call? International Rescue and their amazing machines! Once they get to Mars, however, they are attacked by rock snakes. Let's face it, this is not a fantastic movie, but for fans of Gerry Anderson's work, THIS IS A MUST-HAVE!!! All the caracters are here, including the amazing Lady Penelope, and her Butler, Parker. This movie and the TV show it was based on made me want to do this kind of thing for a living. Now I'm an artist for a computer game company -- close enough for now.
Of special note: Special Miniature Effects by Derek Meddings, famous also for doing all the effects on the James Bond movies. Meddings died in 1995, a sad day for Anderson fans and Bond fans alike.

IR to the aid of the world alliance aircraft again!
The marionettes leave a lasting impression in this far fetched plot about Martian attacks and rocketships colliding to the earth.
Magnificent preformance by Cliff Richard (Jr.) and the Shadows with their instruments "are really [far] out." Alan gets to dream and save the day, but the roles of the other boys are minimal.
Great to add to any sci-fi collection and a must for gerry anderson fans.
