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.Running Time: 100 min.Format: DVD HD Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY UPC: 012569792104 Manufacturer No: 79210
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.

This was an obvious influence on shows like Star Trek and Lost in Space. Leslie Nielson in his leading man days, the ever beautiful Anne Francis, Walter Pigeon, Jack Kelly (pre-Maverick), a very young Earl Holliman (Police Woman), Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman on The Six Million Dollar Man and not to be confused with Richard DEAN Anderson of ...

Rating: - Question about packaging
I love this movie, and the copy I ordered just arrived from Amazon. The case was opened, however. It wasn't wrapped in the hard-to-open plastic sheeting, and there wasn't any security tape on the case. In other words, it just opened right up.
I'm concerned that this might be a used copy and that I might be missing some printed material. The only items in the case besides the two discs were the plain white piece of carboard with the security sticker, and an ad for TCM movies.
Can any ... Read More
