A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair offers evidence of an advanced civilization. But among Altair-4's many wonders, none is greater or more deadly than the human mind.
Forbidden Planet is the grandaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen plays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied world that's home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis)... 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.

Classic Science Fiction - 4.25 out of 5 (10/22/2007)
Although modern film techiniques and digital effects have far exceeded this movie, its influence is undeniable. Disney Studios was involved, and the soundtrack was solely electronic in nature.

in my opinion the finest sc-fi film ever - 3.5 out of 5 (9/7/2002)
i have seen virtualy every sc-fi film ever made, i thought forbidden planet was the best when first released, and i still think it is the best. great story, great sets, great photography, and great acting(virtually every actor who was not a big star at the time went on to become one).

A seminal work, with one of the best monsters ever - 3.25 out of 5 (7/6/1999)
Based on Shakespeare's Tempest, I have always found the use of the bulky Robot, Robby, as interesting a metaphor as Shakespeare's use of a fairy. The film is riddled with both cliches (which are delightfully amusing in the "enlightened" late '90s) and equally subtle concepts (for the 50's).
Although the effects and sound is decidedly "cheap" by modern standards, Forbidden Planet broke new ground in its day. The Monster of the ID remains one of the most fearsome creatures to appear in any movi
