Theatrical report

Thunderbirds is a teen adventure movie. It used to be about a bunch of good guys saving the world, now it's about a teenager coming of age, gaining the respect of his family and falling in love for the first time. While incidentally saving the world from bad guys. The Thunderbird ships are good, but, and at least it's still set in England.
