I've just seen the trailer for this film and I can't quite make up my mind whether it's going to be ace or crap. Tracy Island looks good, and the thunderbirds themselves seem to take off in traditional style (eg palm trees folding back), but the casting seems a bit bizarre. The Tracy brothers seem far too young, especially the lead (Scott?) and the choice of Anthony Edwards off ER for Brains seems very odd. I'm very afraid it will be nice effects, but precious little else. Then again, nothing can be as bad as Scooby Doo.

It looks ace.
The only worrying thing is the amount of cocksucker pink lipgloss the young lead seems to be wearing.

Yeah I noticed he had a bit too much Rimmel on - I'm sure the original Thunderbirds were a bit butcher than that.

WARNING! WARNING!
This is not a supreme camp experience like Charlies Angels! This is a dodgy kids film in disguise!
Just so everyone is clear, though the Tracy brothers are in it, it's mostly about the Tracy kids, the "next generation" if you will. It's full of "wacky" kids film fun (i.e. copious gunge and foiling of bad guys in "high-larious" ways)
But the Lady P bits are good, apparently.

Tracy kids? Surely not Alan and Tintin's? That relationship was doomed from the start, as we all know that Alan was playing the B side. I knew someone who actually fancied Virgil, though.
