forbidden planet be one of the best example of hollywood sf film . it influence be felt for more than a decade . however and certain element relate to how this wide screen entertainment be aim at a mid fifty audience that be now go have date it quite a bit and and the film sometimes sluggish pace doesn not help . but and the story compelling central idea involve the ancient and extinct krell civilization and monster from the id hasn not lose it appeal and continue to make this film a relevant must see movie . what i be mostly interested in say here be that the current dvd for this movie be terrible . the movie have never really look that good on home video and it element be in dire need of restoration . i hope that will happen soon and we get a special edition of this sf classic .
