Product Description: 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.

Customer Reviews
The building of "Robbie"
I've always been a sci-fi fan, and Forbidden Planet is a true classic, they were so far ahead of their time when they made this file, only now with our current special effects and computer generated graphics could we make a sequel that would or could do it justice (but I hope they don't) and the bonus of seeing the design and building of "Robbie", that alone was worth the price of the dvd set.....I promise you, you won't regret this purchase at all............

Forbidden Planet
I have been fascinated with this movie since I first saw it decades ago. My love for it hasn't changed. The special effects were especially good for that age of this film.

Classic
In my opinion this is the first quality science fiction movie ever made. Lot of the concepts within this movie are borrowed by others for movies and TV shows today. It remains enjoyable after numerous viewings.

A very advanced project for its historical moment!
"Forbidden planet" was probably one of the most boldest sci-fi projects whose only default was to have been extremely challenging for its age. The underneath message about a pretended form of outer energy understood as the projection of our own interiors demons lacked dramatic intensity due the secondary plot ( you should be notice this issue would be carved in relief in Solaris thirteen years after). But in case you make to take the risk you are still on time to enjoy (although certain outdated special effects) an interesting proposal to watch and discuss.
A referential cult movie since its appearance!
