June 29, 2009Not a terrible film (not good either)...what was the point of this? The reason the Thunderbirds TV show was so cool was the puppets. This film? No puppets. The prosecution rests.

March 7, 2008Johnathan Frakes is a good actor and, when he's not directing a family film, a fine director.

Not only did the 7-year-old boy inside me have a high old time, so did the 7-year-old daughter sitting next to me. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This is a movie made for an audience that does not exist, at least in the land of North American multiplexes. full review
