What are critics saying?

Village Voice by

As the dapper Lady Penelope, Sophia Myles tries to infuse the enterprise with some "Charlie's Angels" verve, but she's only one life vest, and the movie is a downed plane.

Dallas Observer by Bill Gallo

This special-effects-crammed action blockbuster is not rocket science. It's more like rocket fun.

Variety by David Rooney

The story rarely gets fired up to "maximum thrust," to use the rocket-speed parlance of its heroes.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor

Thunderbirds is devoted to the principle that character and story are but rude interruptions to the real order of business, an endless display of profound vehicle fetish.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli

Watching a misfire like Thunderbirds illustrates how impressive the "Spy Kids" movies are.
