Forbidden Planet is an fantastic movie and no Sci-Fi fan should be without it. The transfer on the 50th Anniversary and Ultimate Collector’s Editions is fabulous. I’ve never seen the film gape so luminous, crisp and vibrant. The included documentaries and bonus footage are very inspiring and not to be missed.

A word of warning though, the Ultimate Collector’s Edition is a bit of a rip off. The included Robby the Robot toy was the main reason I bought this position and it’s powerful smaller (and less detailed) than the images lead you to own. I haven’t opened mine, but it looks like it’s not even articulated. Definitely not worth the extra money I had to pay. The lobby card reporductions are nice, as is the tin case, but unless you idea to demonstrate these it’s hard to interpret the added cost.
Be colorful, skip the Ultimate Collector’s Edition and capture the 50th Anniversary Edition. You’ll regain unprejudiced the steady same transfer and bonus material without the cheap toy and lobby cards.
It’s amusing, me being a fan of science fiction and movies in general, why it is that it took me so long to gain around to watching Forbidden Planet (1956) . Allotment of it is I feel as if I’ve already seen the film, as clips from it are usually always shown whenever someone does a documentary on science fiction in film, as it’s fair such an influential and incredible part of work. Now, I’ve heard that this movie is loosely based on Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest, but since I’ve never read it, I can’t comment on comparisons between the play and the film. The film stars Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, and Robby the Robot (Yes, the robot gets a camouflage credit. If you witness on the Internet Movie Database, you’ll catch it’s even listed as an actor) .

The tale is about a spacecraft sent to learn what exactly happened to a previous spacecraft and its’ crew, which had been deployed many years prior, and has since not been heard from in some time. This novel mission is under the stammer of Commander John J. Adams (Nielsen), and soon bag themselves on advance to the destination planet of the now lost ship. On their arrival, they come by an ominous message, from the planet, issued by a member of the current crew, Dr. Edward Morbius (Pidgeon) . Despite his warnings, they land and are soon met by a robot named Robby, who escorts them to Morbius’ rather posh abode. Here we learn all the members of that fated crew have been killed off, except for Morbius and his daughter (whom Morbius had when he procreated with another member of the modern crew), Altaira (Francis), by some unseen, yet completely putrid, force, to which Morbius and his daughter seem immune. Not expecting to salvage any survivors, Commander Adams now has to change his plans to include trying to contact his superiors and receive further instructions on how to fade, despite Morbuis’ protests that they should leave as soon as possible, leaving him and his daughter leisurely so that he may continue his research. What is his research? Well, it seems that many hundreds of thousands of years ago, the planet was inhabited by a highly advanced urge of being called the Krell, who mysteriously vanished seemingly overnight in comparison to their collective power, intelligence and abilities, and while their cities have long since gone, a substantial deal of their technology survived underneath the ground, and Morbius has managed to net some plan of these beings, even being able to pry bits of information and such in the 20 uncommon years that he’s been here. This fantastic discovery is certainly worth writing home about, and so Commander Adams begins having the men disassemble the ship to fabricate a plot considerable enough to send a message benefit to his superiors, and in the meantime, starts making time with Morbius’ daughter, who’s never seen a man outside of her father, and is uneducated in the ways of woo. Things seem to be progressing until an unseen behind night attack on the ship damages some crucial elements needed for communication, so an electrified perimeter is station up to prevent the advance of any more unannounced and unwelcome visitors. We soon obtain out the fence works, as a astronomical beastie, normally invisible, now highlighted by the electrical original, tries to attack the ship, killing a few defenders. What exactly is the nature of this beast? Is it somehow connected to the Krell? Does Morbius know more than he’s letting on? Will any pick up off this planet alive? What the heck were these Krell up to anyway?
Forbidden Planet is inspirational, in my view, because it presents an well developed and opinion out sage above and beyond the usual `scary alien’ fare we saw in the early 50’s. Similar to The Day the Earth Stood Unexcited (1951), it brought a level of intelligence to the genre while managing to also entertain. Basically, whatever level you idea the film on, it will provide enjoyment. It also hallmarked the first film appearance of Robby the Robot, probably one of the most well-liked, recognizable, and enduring icons in science fiction film history. Also, it is distinguished to tag, this is the first film to exhaust an entirely electronically tranquil musical fetch. Stereotypical characterizations appear to effect the various roles, but since the film was releases a sterling 14 years before I was even born, I can’t aid but wonder if the stereotypes started here, given the influence of the film. The production value overall is lavish and indicates puny expense was spared in bringing the narrative to life. The special effects, even by today’s standards, observe remarkably safe, and the realism in the matte painting backgrounds is truly spectacular. The tour of the vast underground Krell facility really stood out in my mind, properly highlighting the enormity and intricacies at the same time. Region holes? Yeah, I noticed a few of them (like how’d Robby expose up at the slay despite every circuit being blown? And that self-destruct mechanism at the waste…that seemed a bit convenient and lacking wonderful safeguards one would normally apply as to not accidentally cause it to go off), but these tend to pale in comparison to the overall film. As a whole, I reflect anyone would be hard pressed not to retort this as one of the more influential films in the genre, and unprejudiced a lot of fun in general.
Warner Brother’s gets points from providing an genuine widescreen print (the DVD is double sided, with fullscreen on the flipside), but loses some in their complete lack of special features other than an current theatrical trailer. I procure it graceful sunless that this film doesn’t rate the special features we so often gaze on recent releases. Normally I’d be contented with a fine looking print, but surely distinct films deserve some preferential treatment, and this, in my conception, is one of them. Oh well…
