Thunderbirds Are GO! (U)


This week sees the second of our summer holiday films Thunderbirds Are GO! (and yes, while I was writing that I was saying it in the voice which appears in the film when their ships are launched!)  This is a film for all the family screening over just two days be sure you don't miss it!

In this film, Zero-X, a manned exploration mission, crashes during lift-off on its maiden flight. Two years later an investigative committee finally concludes sabotage, and decides to call on the services of International Rescue to oversee security at the impending second launch. The second Zero-X successfully reaches its destination, but encounters unexpected hazards, ultimately leading to another call for assistance on its return to Earth. International Rescue respond, and once again Thunderbirds are GO! Not to be confused with the modern remake, released in 1966 and featuring the original marionette puppets, this is a retro treat that will appeal to children and adults.


*The model work and special effects, especially the Zero-X Space-probe, are all extremely effective ... a great piece of fun and a fine addition to a classic series*  Pure Hollywood

Catch the trailer below before they launch off:



Screenigs: Friday 3rd at 10.45am, 3pm & 7.45pm and Saturday 4th at 3pm
