I grew up watching this, and having been born in the late 80s, I can safely say that I am glad they did re runs of Thunderbirds. Otherwise I probably would not have had a clue about it, and also thanks to my uncle who was a die hard Gerry Anderson fan, who made me, my sister and brother watch it on a regular basis.
The series was pure genius and Gerry Anderson deserves a lot of credit for it. The film was just as good. A completely different storyline, containing the usual characters, with a brief appearance of The Hood. You can't go wrong with that. To have existed in the 60s and predict what it would be like in the year that Thunderbirds was created was very bold and the imagination of Gerry Anderson and his crew was pure brilliance.
The characters don't change at all which is very good news and the film is just a sheer delight to watch. Having created fireball xl5, supercar and stingray, prior to Thunderbirds and to finally do a full length feature film just shows how much hard work was put into the production of Thunderbirds and how successful the series was and to be able to do the film is a credit to Gerry Anderson and his sheer brilliant creativity.
