i be always so frustrated that the majority of science fiction movie be really intergalactic western or war drama . even star war which be visually brilliant and have one of it central image and a futuristic gang that couldn not shoot straight . imagine your come upon about 600 people with conventional weapon and most of them have an open shot and and they miss . i have read much science fiction and and wish there be more movie for the think person . forbidden planet and one of the early of the genre and be still one of the very best . the story be base on a long extinct civilization and the krell and who create machine which could boost the intelligence of any be by quantum leap . unfortunately and what they hadn not bargain for and be that the brain be a center for other thought than intellectual . the primitive aspect of the brain and the id and a freud call it and be allow to go unchecked . it be release in sleep and a bad dream come to corporeal existence . walter pigeon and dr. morbius and be the one who have jack his brain to this level and and with it have build machine and defense that keep him barely one step ahead of the horror of the recess of his own mind . his thought be create horror that he soon will not be able to defend . the krell and a much superior specie and could not stop it while it destroy them . the land party have never be of great interest to me . the rest of the actor be pretty interchangeable . ann francis be beautiful and naive and and certainly would have produce quite a reaction in the fifty adolescent male . her father ire be exacerbate by her innocence and the wolfy fifty astronauts ( for they be more like construction worker on the make than real astronaut ) . they be always try to figure out dame . the cook be a great character and with his obsession for hooch . robbie the robot have much more personality than most of the crew and and one wonder if mr. spock may not be a soulmate to the literal thinking of this artificial creature . the whole movie be very satisfying because the situation be the star . morbius can not turn back and so he be destine to destroy himself and everything with him . there be few science fiction film that be worth see more than once while this be one that can coast right into the 21st century .
