Smartly written by William Osborne and Michael McCullers, Thunderbirds expertly targets kids. Yet parents won't be entirely bored.

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

Chicago Tribune
It's a pretty entertaining, extremely good-looking cinematic blip--not important, not outstanding, but better than a lot of PG stuff that attempts to reach both parents and their 8-year-old kids.

Entertainment Weekly
Without fail its upbeat cheesy wholesomeness is always good for a smile.

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