Thunderbirds Are Go / Thunderbird Six [1966]
£3.99
Good family entertainment - Our two sons (4 & 2) really enjoyed this. They have been making Zero X and Thunderbird 4 with their Brio ever since. The 4 year old keeps wanting to know what number Thunderbird the Thunderbird Boys are in. Mum and Dad loved it too - it took us back to our own childhood. We were both amazed with the quality of the special effects, they stood the test of time well. Story was perhaps a bit slow for today s generation but it was wonderful to have a story that really was family fun. The Cliff Richard and the Shadows dream sequence made us smile!!! Enjoy!
Thunderbirds are go/Thunderbird 6 - I ve seen these two films already, I ve most recently bought them on DVD. Soon I will own the TV series as well. As they say some of the Thunderbirds change scale in these movies, well having recently seen the live action movie. I d say they re right, that s what I enjoy about classic Sci-fi such as this. The ideas for the plot is unimaginable, being the use of puppets and models the budget does not require CGI as it didn t exist then. These two movies are without the first example of a big screen Thunderbirds adventure. FAB.
2 great movies - If you like the Thunderbirds series, then you ll love these 2 films. The action takes a little while to unfold, but when it does you realise that, apart from the longer length and the higher quality of filming and special effects, the films are no different to the original TV programmes - and that s exactly why they are so wonderful.The Featurette extras on the DVD are an interesting insight into how each film was made, although not really essential. The Quiz on each DVD are for the much younger viewers and the other extras are patchy, but this is a minor gripe as you re buying the DVD for 2 great, and fun, movies.
