Review of Thunderbirds Are GO (1966) by Missy M — 10 Feb 2008
Gerry Anderson unfortunately has less of a reputation for his made-for-cinema movies than he does for his TV shows, and THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO is no exception.
The viewing public were quite unsupportive of this movie, despite the success of Thunderbirds on the small screen.
It's a bit slow to begin, but a lot of effort and expertise went into the launch of Zero X which opened the film.
Cliff Richard and the Shadows recorded some new tracks for the film and even released a mini album to coincide with the launch...and yet still the box office takings weren't what was expected.
It's a shame really as the movie isn't half bad and true Thunderbirds fans still think very highly of it. (Well, it's Gerry Anderson, isn't it)?
