this have always be one of my favourite movie and and will always be . over the last few year i have become a 50 or 60 sci fi freak and try to collect all of the good one that be make back then . i love lot of thing about them from how corny they could be to how technically correct some of them be . the great colour and the set get me go too . it a pity when they re make some of these good old movie while they nearly always stuff it up and just look at the recent re do of the day the earth stand still and it utter garbage . forbidden planet be one of the benchmark space film of all time and and now theyre try to re make it too and and i shudder to think what the new one will be like . to my mind and some thing and such a fantastic classic movie and should just be leave alone to be what they be and classic example of great attempt at tell simple story and and give people a thrill in the process . once they add all the techno crap that we have available now and the film just seem to be more dog meat from the hollywood sausage factory and nothing special at all . by the way and i notice that the astronaut uniform in forbidden planet be also use for queen of out space . that just tell you that the budget be a bit lower back then and doesn not it . hey and less money and good film and hmmm . great performance in this movie from leslie nielsen and in a serious role and and anne francis and walter pidgeon ( who have always be one of my favourite actor ) and earl holiman and and of course robby the robot . the special effect be fantastic and and the storyline be not too far fetch . this be a great sci fi experience .
