		THUNDERBIRD 6 is the video collection telling the story of Brain's ill-fated Skyship One; once again, the International Rescue team is the target of familiar puppetry terrorists, but they save the day...
		Thunderbirds remains one of the best television series ever made, be it in Britain or anywhere.
		But everything about this series really is epic: Thunderbirds is action on the grandest scale, predating such high-concept Hollywood vehicles as Armageddon by 30 years and more (the acting is better, too), and fetishizing gadgets in a way that even the most excessive Bond movies could never hope to rival.

	‘Thunderbirds’ get high-tech upgrade - Tech News & Reviews - MSNBC.com
		The movie serves as a prequel to the TV series, showing how the youngest son, Alan, gets involved in the family business.
		The biggest difference has to do with production values: The original “Thunderbirds” was created by British animation genius Gerry Anderson, who used marionettes and models to bring the world of 2065 to life — a technique he called “supermarionation.” In contrast, this summer's movie version is live-action, augmented with a massive dose of computer-generated graphics.
		Frakes — who has directed a string of movies and TV shows, including two of the “Star Trek” films — said he adopted “retro-futurism” as the catchphrase for his latest project.

	DVD Verdict Review - Thunderbirds: International Rescue Edition
		When United Artists suggested putting together the two Thunderbirds films, the Andersons jumped at the chance, already recognizing that the special effects and techno-fetishes of the series were ideally suited to the silver screen.
		As his brothers leave, Thunderbird 3 pilot Alan Tracy is asked to stay behind to monitor for developing emergencies, and he handles this news like any screen hero—by throwing a hissy fit until he falls into a deep sleep and has secret revenge dreams.
		The various rooms of the airship are ridiculously fanciful—the "gravity" control room is a giant grid of revolving steel hoops that seems designed for a suspenseful shoot-out, while the bar is a marvel of bizarre 1960s pop design, with thousands of balls and spheres stuck to the walls and pillars.

		In today's updates there's a long-overdue guide to the new Thunderbirds movie (unfortunately lacking in pictures because I haven't got the DVD yet) and a new feature to the site in the form of the brilliantly comprehensive Lexicon written by Kristin D. I feel I should also make a statement about the forum.
		The thing about the old forum was that I'd partially hand-coded it myself, something I felt pretty proud about, so I stuck with it for ages, even when it became apparent that the security was a little lacking.

		Chances are, if you're old enough to know anything about any of the classics reviewed here at Scifilm, you'll have also seen the Thunderbirds TV series at some point in your life.
		But basically the TV series was about a high-tech top-secret rescue group of the future, composed almost entirely of one family (the Tracys), who were helped by agents all around the world.
		I still have some Thunderbirds toys around here somewhere (alas, my Thunderbird 2 was broken and the pod went missing, along with my Thunderbird 4).

		Though Thunderbirds' story is formulaic, its look is a blend of futuristic and retro production design, reminiscent of the Jetsons TV series.

		There are enough cool gadgets in this series to please the ten year old boy in every grown up man (I suspect this series is more of a guy thing because relationships take second place to action).
		There is something else fascinating about this series and that is how seriously the producers, directors, designers took what was essentially a children's puppet show and kept to such high (and unnecessary) standards.

	Set Report From 'Thunderbirds' Production
		Donning his fake microphone headset, Paxton took one last bite and sauntered over to the set of Thunderbirds Two, one of five key vehicles -- the others range from a rocket to a space station -- in the movie, which is being directed by Jonathan Frakes ("Star Trek: Insurrection").
		The "Thunderbirds" TV series achieved cult status in the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan even though its Space Age toys and vehicles weren't always built to scale and the leading actors were made of wood.
		What Paxton might not know is that "Thunderbirds" has the largest budget -- at $50 million-plus -- that the successful British production company Working Title ("Johnny English") has ever toyed with.
