Movies
Thunderbirds Are Go - The Movie [1966]
Studio: Mgm Home Ent. (Europe) Ltd.
DVD Release Date: 9 April 2001
Run Time: 89 minutes
Widescreen, PAL; ASIN: B000059L8B
Synopsis:
The first manned flight to Mars which is in danger, as International Rescue foils a sabotage attempt at the launch, then race to avert disaster when the spaceship returns to Earth."
"On the DVD: The mono sound is powerful, with Barry Gray's stirring music suffering intermittent distortion. Presented in anamorphic widescreen the picture is very good, with strong colours and only minimal grain, though the print does show occasional damage. Unfortunately the original extremely wide 2.74:1 Techniscope image is cropped to more conventional 2.35:1, to the extent that the careful compositions are noticeably damaged, which director David Lane refers to in his joint commentary with producer Sylvia Anderson (who also played Lady Penelope). 35 years after the event their commentary is packed with details of the filming process and full of information about the many problems of and solutions to making an animated feature. Both Anderson fans and budding animators will find this a real education. The original, rather battered, trailer is included, as are galleries of behind the scenes photos, promotional artwork and posters."
Thunderbirds 6: The Movie [1968]
Studio: Mgm Home Ent. (Europe) Ltd.
DVD Release Date: 9 April 2001
Run Time: 86 minutes
Widescreen, PAL; ASIN: B000059L8C
Synopsis:
Feature length story involving the International Rescue Team. Lady Penelope, Parker and Alan Tracy are held hostage while on holiday. Brains must come up with a plan to rescue them.
"The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 ratio image is sharp, full of detail and boasting well-saturated colours, only the briefest moments of damage and some graininess revealing the age of the print. The film was shot in ultra-wide Techniscope, and there are moments were it is very obvious that parts of the original 2.74:1 picture have been cropped at the sides. The mono sound is powerful with no hint of distortion. Extras are the original trailer, galleries of behind the scenes photos and promotional artwork, though the highlight is the highly informative commentary by Sylvia Anderson and director David Lane where they note how they made this film and worked on "Captain Scarlet" simultaneously."
