Thunderbirds

 

USA / UK 2004, 95 minutes
Dir. Jonathan Frakes
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Family, Science Fiction, Action/Adventure

Feat. Bill Paxton, Ben Kingsley, Barry Corbet, Phillip Winchester, Anthony Edwards

 

Aroview: A live-action replay of the classic 60s sci-fi series which bears more relation to generic teen adventure than the spirit of the original.

From their secret South Pacific hideaway, Paxton and kin must battle criminal overlord Kingsley who is planning a superheist of the Bank of London and has (initially) outwitted them.

While boasting some impressively slick f/x and designs, this mishandles its tone from the start, never quite judging the inherent camp potential of the material and its ongoing appeal. Will keep most kids amused, though the purists among them will regard it a travesty.
