People are voting emotionally.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

if you watched this movie you're hopelessly shameless. if you even bother to remember this stuff you're probably kind of shameless too. my mother never heard of this and didn't even remember or know my brother and i were avid watchers and fans of this Saturday morning brain mush. i've even met other baby boomers who barely took note of this show and others who were embarrassed by it to the point of denial. so it's not retro nostalgia for everyone. this kind of thing is not always for everyone's taste.do i like this? well, yeah, i guess. but i'm not sure that my opinion isn't a little warped or damaged about movies like this. i was a brain washed kiddie consumer like most of my generation and i was always partial to cartoons and fantasy shows and TV shows with puppets.i think the main question to be asked of any cinema buff or student, is whether 'Supermarionation' is a pure cinema process that makes any real contribution to the techniques and art form of cinema. i mean nobody even uses marionettes in movies these days except in farce or to purposely freak people out. i don't even know how much i actually warm up to the technique here. when i was a child i was both strongly drawn and simultaneously repelled by the whole thing. the marionettes kind of scared me and i even remember having nightmares about this show. i guess i also equated the show a little with the whole 'Curse of the Doll People' thing.whether or not you find 'Supermarionation' disturbing or scary or just plain kitschy, this is the place it started and pretty much perfected it. the 'Marination' here is equally as good as the 'Team America' spoof decades later, but the plot and concept here are much simpler and corny. you do have to be somewhat "hardcore" to even like this.

This about Lady penelope, Tintin, Alan and Parker on a plane were a man tries to steal thunderbird one and thunderbird two by bugging Lady Penelope's room and editing things that she says into a message telling the thunderbirds to go to a place 10 miles south of Cuba where an ambush is waiting but penelope warns them just in time.This was a decent movie but when they're on the plane near the end Parker should have been killed at least 7 times, I mean he was on the bottom of the plane!!!!!!!!!! And when he was in the tree and he fell out he should have died then as well!!!! It had a few realllllly gay jokes that were not funny in the slightest but it was a decent movie. I actually really enjoyed it.

The second Thunderbirds movie.The only way to watch this movie is with the commentary! Sylvia Anderson gives Gerry Anderson fans so many trivia bits about the puppet shows and live action shows of later years. But more importantly, she gives the thumbs up about a visit she made to Australia some time in the 1980s or 1990s.We get these showbiz types appearing around the world and I often suspect that they are just here for the money. End of story. Wrong. In the DVD Sylvia explains how she enjoyed Sydney and Perth and meeting the fans. She explains that she went on TV and radio in Oz (where was I? I missed it?) and she even remembers that Thunderbirds was in constant re-run in Oz at 6am. And she mentions Oz voice artists.As for the movie itself...just okay.

Having just seen the Thunderbirds (2004) remake, I've decided that Thunderbird 6 is great although I've bagged Thunderbirds are GO in the past (the other movie that spelt the end of the TV franchise). But it brings up the question yet again, like the show, why if International Rescue is to remain secret do the members of it keep going around telling everyone who they are! And why would IR go on this around-the-world trip when it isn't a rescue situation?Still, I think the sets and special effects are great and parts are suspenseful, but I could've done with less of Alan and Jeff Tracy (two really annoying characters even if they are puppets) and more of the other characters. And Brians' little tiff at Jeff's 'bullying' of him to build another Thunderbird quick smart, reminds me of a workmate who was having a hard time with the boss and who...oh, never mind.Slow but good stuff.
