"Commence targeting." Here we go.
:21:17
Big plot point, very well conceived
by Will Osborne and Mike McCullers.

:21:24
Take the heroes,
:21:27
get them effectively off camera
:21:32
miles away in space and yet,
keep them in jeopardy without killing them.

:21:39
Action,
:21:43
stunts,
:21:45
yet nobody dies - not particularly violent.
:21:49
Now the movie kicks into another gear.
:21:53
Zimmer's music helping us out.
:21:55
Brendan helping us out.
:21:58
We made a pact early on
never to let the camera stop.

:22:04
And then Marty Walsh, our editor,
:22:09
followed the same orders.
:22:18
These portraits of the kids, again,
are part of the iconography of the original show.

:22:25
Fans of Thunderbirds will appreciate
this updated version of the portraits

:22:30
and those uninitiated with Thunderbirds,
I think, will think of them as a cool device.

:22:37
My personal favourite takeoff,
:22:39
Thunderbird 3, the big red rocket
that takes you to the space station.

:22:45
Get a load of this shot right here.
:22:48
Patently stolen from Apollo 13
:22:51
and yet even better as the camera leaves the ship.
