I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

For a very long time I have been trying to watch the tv series and could never finish an episode. I don't know why I thought this would be any better. I guess 60 years ago this was visually stimulating and that would make up for the complete lack of action or anything interesting happening. I was zoning out before the opening credits finished. If you can watch this entire movie you can watch anything.

(*Fave movie-quote*) - "F.A.B.!" For starters - This 1966 Sci-Fi/Fantasy story (filmed in Super-Marionation) certainly isn't gonna please any jaded viewers who have been totally spoiled by the CGI effects that dominate such films of today. No way.But, if you can appreciate an outer space adventure tale (with great production values) that features puppet people acting out the story on fantastic sets (with awesome aircraft and impressive land vehicles), then, yes, "Thunderbirds Are Go!" will definitely leave you entertained and equally satisfied.Produced on a surprisingly low budget of just $300,000 - This 90-minute, high-tech story of non-stop heroics is based on the popular TV series of the mid-1960s.Created by Gerry Anderson - I, personally, think that this high-quality, British production still holds up quite well today, 50 years later.With its amazing attention to detail and its excellent theme music - "Thunderbirds Are Go!' is sure to please any non-jaded viewer, regardless of their age.

I was about 6 when this film came out and I remember a friend of mine having a "Zero X". I was so jealous. It was the sexiest thing I had ever seen (long before I knew what sex was or what 'sexy' meant).I never saw the film at the time and when my wife bought me a DVD copy at a garage sale I was awash with nostalgia. A feeling of warm happiness that lasted for at least 7 minutes into the film... my god, it's boring! After a while the only entertainment value I could drag out of this stupendously dull, overpadded TV episode was spotting new ways the filmmakers avoided having to have their characters walk anywhere. During the TV shows walking was suggested by having the character puppets jog up and down as they moved forward. Fine within the limited frame of a TV screen (especially the scritty little things we peered at back then) but a similar motion on the big screen would, at best, look ludicrous and, at worst, induce motion sickness. In a film where supersonic aircraft stay rigidly in the centre of the frame having the "actors" bounce around like ping pong balls causing pre-teen movie goers to vomit over their neighbours would be distressing.

I seen this movie on showtime early in the morning and all i can say about this movie was very funny in a cheesy way. the ending was confusing because there was a part at the very end when they were landing to earth their spaceship was crashing building after building and by the time it finally landed, there crew came in to congratulate them of a successful landing and mention NOTHING about the building being hit and exploded....guess they cared the crew more than the civilians so i thought that was pretty awkward. for its time, the puppets looked pretty damn good but they needed more work for their monsters (what the hell was with the moon monsters?!?). so if you are in a gloomy mood and in for something for laughs watch this flick and be more confused at the ending as i am.
