This live-action, big-budget family blockbuster brings Gerry Anderson's cult classic 1960s puppet sci-fi TV series to the big screen. Directed by Jonathan Frakes, the film follows the intergalactic adventures of the Tracy family, headed by former astronaut Jeff Tracy (Bill Paxton), who lives with his five sons on the top-secret Tracy Island, which also houses the headquarters of the top-secret International Rescue organisation. When villainous criminal 'The Hood' (Ben Kingsley) orchestrates an elaborate plan to remove Jeff and his four eldest sons temporarily from home, so that he can invade the island and attempt to steal some of the organisation's most valuable equipment, it is left to Jeff's youngest son Alan (Brady Corbet) to save the day.

English Naive and desperately childish spectacle in the backstage of the sci-fi genre, lacking interesting characters and an appealing plot. One of the biggest mistakes of Ben Kingsley in the role of the villain Spoda and Jonathan Frakes, who not only took over the directorial position but also the role of producer. I estimate that this flop disappointed him the most... Overall impression 20%. (15/07/2008)
