    It seems that Gerry Anderson was beginning to run out of ideas by the time he made this, the final film with the famous Thunderbirds. It suffers from the same faults that plagued the recent movie - too much character development and not enough focus on the machines. With real actors, character development is imperative, but when you're dealing with puppets, it works best when you take the focus away from the characters, as plastic people can't have much personality! The action scenes work well, but there are big gaps between them that the kids may get bored with - after all they just want to see the rockets! Still worth watching though.

  • Thunderbird 6

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Chester , 06 Jan 2009
    The first hour or so of this film is pretty dull, and there isn't anything going on in the way of rescue action. However, the end is one of those knuckle in the mouth rescue moments that fans of the show wil enjoy.

    Well what a character, she really is the heroine what a role model for all the little girls out there. Makes a change to Barby. This film is a lot more story than action but really we all watch thunderbirds for the tension and the rescue, which was somewhat lacking here

    Not being a fan myself, this film was for the kids. However I really enjoyed watching it and it brought many memories of how good movies used to be.

    My 3 year old loves thunderbirds & is normally rooted to it, but this didn't hold his attention at all. Starts off OK but wanders. I found it pretty drab too.
