Forbidden Planet Reviews

(OK) A rare gem of early space opera, wonderfull 'earthly' settings in space, good argument; poor cast for a great production, but Pidgeon is excellent

Honestly, I find it rather difficult to judge this movie. Indeed, it is almost 60 years old and after watching 100s of more modern SF features like '2001: A Space Odissey ', 'Prometheus' or 'Interstellar' which had access to some more advanced technology and some much bigger budgets, the whole thing looked pretty cheesy. On top of that, from the moment you see Leslie Nielsen showing up on the screen, you expect him to crack up some stupid jokes every 5 minutes. And yet, we shouldn't forget that this movie had a huge impact on all the Science-Fiction movies that came afterwards. Indeed, at the time, the studios didn’t care much for the genre and it was the very first time that a SF feature was given a large budget. On top of that, the story was actually pretty good and I was quite taken by this mysterious world. Indeed, they finally became aware that they should handle this kind of tales more or less seriously and it really worked. That’s the great thing about Science-Fiction, everything is possible and the only limitation is your own imagination (okay, a decent budget might help as well). To conclude, even though it didn't grow old very well, it is still a pretty good SF feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Forbidden Planet is one of the most famous science-fiction film of all time the plot is a team of military that flies in UFO the famous C-57D to find a scientist Dr. Edward Morbius along with his daughter the beautiful Alta Morbius played by Ann Francis and one of the coolest robots of all time Robby the Robot Robby was the first fictional robot to have a distinct personality after Forbidden Planet Robby would become a star he was in the twilight zone two times and had his own movie the Invisible Boy but don't expect anything because this movie suck. The movies was shot in color and it look beautiful it was the first science fiction film to be in Cinemascope it was like the imax of old movies just looking in the background it so awesome anyway the sound effect it pretty creepy it has a haunting atmosphere that' keep building the characters are great Dr. Morbius is one of the best Mad Doctors of all time and this film has one of the best monster ever a monster created out of someone's mind, this movie was said to be the influence to star trek and how can you not see it does this remind you of anything .

Un classico eccellente.
