First things first, UFO was a great TV series that showed the undoubted talents of Gerry Anderson at his best. The basic plot - Aliens from a dying planet, many years ahead of mankind in technology, come to earth to use people's organs to repair their own decaying bodies.
It ran for 21 (I think) episodes and although some episodes were better than others (Conflict and A Question of Priorities were my favourite) it also dealt with quite a few social issues as well including racism, drug taking and office politics.
So who decided to make this film ? This is a cut and paste job using 3 episodes with huge omissions and trying to tie them all together. This can work with some shows but not this one as all the episodes were self contained. Such glaring continuity errors include Colonel Alec Freeman vanishing as he wasn't in the third episode, likewise Paul Foster appearing. Also how can skydiver destroy 15 UFO's ??? Or come to that matter 3 one missiled interceptors got about 15 also.
Still that is being a little unkind. Watch the TV series, that was superb ..... but avoid this montrosity like the plague. They even managed to get Alec Freeman's name wrong in the closing credits (they refer to him as Alex!!) I can only imagine somebody thought there was money to be made putting this together ......
