A live-action version of
Gerry +
Sylvia Anderson's much-loved television show was a bad idea to begin with, but whoever decided that the story should have the original members of International Rescue incapacitated for the majority of the running time took the concept of bad ideas to a whole new level of injudiciousness. In place of the core team we get three of their kids, teens who must rise to the challenge and save the organisation's lauded reputation from the schemes of The Hood (
Ben Kingsley - WTF?).
Honestly, it's as awful as it sounds. If you're a dedicated fan of the original series, then it may even be worse than it sounds. I kept hoping that the marionette version of International Rescue would fly in to meta-save the world from the live-action version, but it didn't happen.
