this be a truly awful film . what they have do be take a tv show and which be never aim at young child and give it the george lucas treatment ( i. e. ruin it by kiddifying it to appeal to the young audience ) . ok so the thunderbird tv show wasn not exactly the most cerebral of show and in fact it be pretty formulaic and but it be always enjoyable to watch ( especially when the model get blow up ) and the voice cast wasn not too bad . this suffers from bad casting and bad acting ( with the notable exception of sophia myles a lady penelope and ron cook a parker and who seem to be the only cast member to have a clue about how their character should be play ) and after this travesty i wouldn not let frakes direct traffic . the whole point of thunderbird be that it be about the whole tracy family and how they work a a team and prevent disaster or come to the rescue of those involve in disaster . avoid this rubbish like the plague . i only give it negative because a zero rating be not support .
