Description:
A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair provides astonishing evidence of a populace a million years more advanced than Earthlings. There are many wonders on Altair-4, but none is greater or more deadly than the human mind. Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen portrays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied Altair-4 world that's home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), the remarkable Robby...and to a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all-electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.
Amazon.com essential video:
This 1956 pop adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest is one of the best, most influential science fiction movies ever made. Its space explorers are the models for the crew of Star Trek's Enterprise, and the film's robot is clearly the prototype for Robby in Lost in Space. Walter Pidgeon is the Prospero figure, presiding over a paradisiacal world with his lovely young daughter and their servile droid. When the crew of a spaceship lands on the planet, they become aware of a sinister invisible force that threatens to destroy them. Great special effects and a bizarre electronic score help make this movie as fresh, imaginative, and fun as it was when first released.

Forbidden Planet (Two-Disc Special Edition)Great movie, great transfer. Still better than most science fiction movies out these days.

I admit, I've been spoiled by Star Trek and Next Generation. I just had to
take another look at my old favorites. I don't remember the actors but I
do remember Robby, the robot. He's one of a kind. Liked all the special
effects of the Krell Power Station. I was hopping for for another movie
with Robby. But I had to wait for Lost IN Space to come along to get my wish. Movie is worth the money. I passed my copy onto my son for Christ-
mas. Theme is timeless and the ... Read More

This movie is one hour and 38 minutes long and was released on March 15, 1956. Since this movie is based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, a book I never read, I cannot do a compare and contrast. In the movie, you can see some effects that Star Trek used in its television show. Basically the movie is set in the year 2200 and a group of soldies is sent to the planet Altair IV to find out what happen to a group of scientists who try to colonize the planet 20 years ago. Once the expedition reaches the planet ... Read More

I remember this movie as a young boy sitting up one night and watching it on the family's B&W TV. What impressed me most was the invisible monster, and the vast underground complex of machines (and maybe Anne Francis' legs!). It was science of The Future, and it never lost it's hold on me.
So this satisfying DVD set came at a good time for myself, at an age where I can appreciate the art and technology (and Anne Francis' legs!) that went into it's production. As a hard-core science fiction fan, and ... Read More

In 1956 MGM released Fred Wilcox's Forbidden Planet. Originally conceived as a B-movie the film has taken on a personality and a cult status that brands it as one of the most unique American films made. The film has been the inspiration for Star Wars and Star Trek and just about every modern space opera references it.
The story is not a simple one and a great deal of Cyril Hume's screenplay is exposition that manages to take somewhat complex themes and make them accessible to a Saturday afternoon ... Read More
