The Thunderbirds

-----------------------------------------
The year is 2010. Teenager Alan Tracy, sent off to a distant boarding school, is the youngest of the sons of Jeff Tracy, a retired American astronaut. Jeff, a widower, has formed International Rescue, and raised his sons to act as a secret, volunteer organization which uses highly advanced technology to save lives worldwide. 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 known as Brains, who lives at the International Rescue base on Tracy Island, somewhere in the Pacific.
Having narrowly averted a major disaster on an oil rig, the Thunderbirds have just returned home to their secret base when TB5, their space based station, is critically damaged in a suspected meteor strike. Unbeknown to them, the attack on TB5 is a deliberate ploy by international master criminal Aristotle Spode to get them off the island. He takes over the island and forces Brains into submission, using the power of his mind. But Spode has overlooked one key factor: Alan, Fermat and Tin Tin are still on the island.
**SPOILERS**
Being a fan of Gerry's original's, I was skeptical about this film, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The opening sequence with the Thunderbirds theme was authentic sixties, and reminded me of "Catch me if you can" credits. The Thunderbird vehicles look fantastic, and the plot believable as a prequel to the series. The acting wasn't half bad either, it did become a bit unbelievable when the Thunderbirds are trapped in Thunderbird 5, but Lady P (Sophia Myles) and Parker (Ron Cook) were absolutely fantastic in their roles. The main problem with the film is that it does feel like a Ford advertisement, and whose stupid idea was it to make FAB1 a Ford, it should be a Roller to keep in with British tradition, but overall a 10 out of 10 for a F.A.B kids movie.
I was expecting the worst, when I went to see this. Most of the critics had panned it, claiming it was rubbish and awful. Being a huge fan of the series I was really dreading this. But... ...I really liked it. The acting is okay, the special effects are well done, and it has a bit of humour which is always a good thing. Okay so there isn't a lot of rescuing as in the series. And the actual plot if a bit weak. But it was a lot of fun. Sophie Myles steals the film as Lady Penelope.
Take the film as a prequel to the actual series. This makes sense if you think about the plot of the movie and the series. The audiance I went to see it with both young and old really liked it. It's a good family film. And there haven't been that many you could say that about recently.
Thunderbirds is devoted to the principle that character and story are but rude interruptions to the real order of business, an endless display of profound vehicle fetish.
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:
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!
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, as were The Hood's associates, Transom and Mullion.
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.
The Hood: Sir Ben Kingsley's character actually calls himself by this name in the film, as well as being referred to as The Hood by other characters. The Hood was never mentioned by name in the TV series, only in other media such as comics and publicity material.
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, such as the glass canopy, six-wheel drive, and "special features" - although the version in the series did not fly...
Tin-Tin's powers: Unlike the TV series, in the film Tin-tin is shown to possess and use the same telekinetic/mind control powers as her uncle, The Hood.
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.
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 Thunderbird as opposed to the original series' Rolls Royce, though this was as much 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 film as a whole. He has a point. a5c7b9f00b
