This still stands as great film. Being based on Shakespear's "The Tempest" doesn't hurt.

Not really. It's actually based on a Greek tragedy called Bellerophon. The name of the science ship was " Bellerophon."

​@@alanmacification How so? Euripedes' "Bellerophon" is about a man who tries to reach Mount Olympus on a winged horse to prove that the gods exist. Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is about a group of sailors shipwrecked on an island inhabited by a wizard, his beautiful daughter, a magical servant, and a monster. "Forbidden Planet" is much more like the latter.

@bobbuethe1477 Bellerphon is about a warrior who tames Pegasus and kills the Chimera. He feels he deserves to be among the gods and rides Pegasus to Mt. Olympus. Zeus sees this and sends a gnat to sting Pegasus, who then throws Bellerphon to his death. It is a warning against hubris.

This was released in 1956, one year before Sputnik became the first manmade satellite in orbit. I can remember seeing this in ‘57 (when I was seven) and going home to stand in the front yard with Dad and watch Sputnik pass overhead. My imagination ran wild. It was one helluva time to be alive.

Forbidden Planet was the first big budget sci-fi movie. It was made in wide screen, color and had a stereo soundtrack. It was also the first movie ever to have an electronic soundtrack. It was the film debut of both Leslie Nielson and Robbie the Robot. Forbidden Planet proved to the rest of the film studios that, done right, a big budget sci-fi movie could make big profits😮😊!

For a film that is 68 years old, the visuals still hold up very well. The scenes of their flying saucer ship orbiting the planet have a three dimensional feel to it. And making the monster invisible was a good choice. I have often wondered if a film maker would attempt to do a remake. The effects would have to be stunning and the story changed to make the reveal more of a surprise. The deceleration effect was an awesome idea. That transporter look Star Trek used. In order for the human bodies to return to their normal state changing from light speed to normal speed is pure science fiction for sure. So glad you shared this☺

What I find interesting is how the concept of an enormous underground machine complex would be copied almost exactly by J. Michael Strazinski, decades later. The Gteat Machine beneath the surface of Epsilon 3 on the 90s sci-fi show Babylon 5 is basically a CGI upgrade of the Krell machine complex.

Star Trek (the original series) did a third season episode that's a variation on this film: the episode "Requiem for Methuselah." •••• This film is boiling over with sexual themes and also family dynamics. We’re far enough removed from the 1950s, when the film was created, to notice the differences between then and now. One of the things that today’s audiences have the hardest time comprehending, is the moment when the tiger attacks. The tiger does this, moments after Altara becomes sexually aroused and passionate while kissing Adams. She wasn’t aroused at all with Jerry, the manipulative crewman. She was also clueless about kissing and its relation to sexuality, when she asks, “But why should people want to kiss each other?” The movie is telling us that Alta, raised with only her father for company, is not only naive about sex, but seems to have been intentionally kept ignorant about human nature, human literature and human civilization. As if her father educated her in math and geography, but treated human biology and literature as if they had nothing to offer her. Alta is like Eve in the Garden of Eden: She has the form of a woman, but is outside of (or before) human history. She is Eve, prior to eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil - prior to the moment of “and their eyes were opened and they saw that they were naked.” When Alta finds her attraction to (her lust for) Commander Adams, it’s at that moment that she becomes fully human, becomes separated from her animal friends, gets cast out from Eden. The tiger indeed attacks because he didn’t recognize her: she left Eden and entered the world of the descendants of Adam and Eve after the Fall. Did Alta have any libido prior to the arrival of Adams and his crew? The movie doesn’t tell us, and probably couldn’t go there, even if it wanted to. (Based on the clues the movie does give us, I'd say no: She has no sexual desire at all, before Adams and his crew awaken it.) I think the movie counted on 1950s audiences, being raised in a religious nation (that was in the process of becoming secular) to make these connections. Today’s audiences are far removed from this, and are likely to have a feeling of, “The movie is trying to tell us something here, but I don’t know what.” Morbius is OK with the male crew members engaging in flirty banter with his daughter, but his subconscious mind rebels, •after• she reports that her sexual explorations have escalated beyond playful banter, to the physical level of hugging and kissing. Alta also becomes attracted to Adams, and only Adams, because of his display of masculinity: He’s the only one who ‘stands up to her’ - admonishes her, that her form-fitting clothing isn’t safe around sex-starved crewmen. He ignorantly expects her to connect the dots, which she has no context to be able to do. But his masculine setting-of-boundaries for her behavior, gives her femininity something to ‘push against’ - and I think that’s why she becomes drawn to Adams.

The female lead once said that Star Trek was "Forbidden Planet, the weekly series". and I would ad crossed with Horatio Hornblower, which is set on sailing ship navies during the Napoleonic Wars. Forbidden Planet is based on a Shakespeare play called The Tempest. And yes, it is one of my favourite films, if only because of how it is so much more thoughtful than was normal for SF of that 0 or most other - eras.

What I like aside from what many said about this movie is the reaction of the captain and crew about what was happening, how they implement stronger and stronger security measures. It's something I find lacking in Star Trek and other shows. Sure, there are always the budget constraints, but still. They have an entire security force on their ships, but don't or rarely add to the people on the ground, even though the deployed security guys get killed off.

I don't think it's controversial to saw that some people regard this as a precursor of Star Trek. Certainly it has a consistent feel about the universe it presents. It's a future that the 1950s audience would recognize. And it's kind of cerebral (based loosely on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'). It just goes to show that, when there was the will and the money put behind a project that many considered niche, it could transcend some of the prejudices that had attached themselves to science-fiction.

Robby Rocks!!!!!!!!!!! thats all there is to say. ;-). I never gave it thought, until you mentioned Star Trek - the episode with The Krell - had the same actor Warren Stevens? (is that his name?) - playing one of the Krell in Star Trek! So someone in casting or Gene himself knew about this movie and decided to give Steve a call to play in that episode as one of the Krell - so some wordplay going on here for sure. Ann Francis early role, she was in millions of TV shows and TV movies later in the 60's and 70's. good actress - you may remember her as the manincan(sp) in an episode of Twilight Zone. .........................other old sleeper scifi movies recommendations: Collossis the Forbin Project Soylent Green Rollerball (original) Silent Running The Lathe of Heaven (original) ............

Leslie Nielsen had been a dramatic actor on television and in theatrical films going all the way back to the 1950s, often playing villains. But with the success of “Airplane!” in 1980, he was able to reinvent himself professionally and enjoy an entire second career as a comic actor through the 1980s, ‘90s, and 2000s.

"...it will remind us that we are, after all, not God." The main theme I take from this movie is hubris. The Krell tried to become creators, indeed the idea of creating life itself through thought itself. This ability was their undoing. When the Bellepheron crew arrived that dormant machine allowed Morbius to allow his subconscious thoughts to create the monster again. Though Morbius believed the Earth-like animals were what remained from Krell visits to Earth, the more frightening prospect is that they were contemporary creations by Morbius. The novelisation has Doc Ostrow do a post-mortem on one of the animals and concludes they are unnatural because their internal organs are all wrong. Creation of life is for God alone and those who transgress this will meet an unhappy end, at least according to the film.

You can't be "inspired" by things that were not thought of yet. So no Star Trek... Or Star Wars. They came later. The story WAS actually a retelling of Shakespear's "The Tempest". This Movie was way ahead of its time. Great special effects and great acting and a classic story. And the Music also was perfect. Thanks for the reaction. This is one of my favorite movies.

In the year 2221, the first spacecraft, Bellerophon landed on Altair-IV. The ship Morbius is a passenger on. __ The United Planets Cruiser C-57D is the spacecraft we are watching in this film. It doesn't have a name just the identifier. __ Joss Whedon and Gene Roddenberry have both said that this film from 1956 had a major impact on virtually every TV series or film of their 'genres that have ever been created since. __ Almost every single episode of Star Trek TV or film, pays homage to Forbidden Planet. The transporters. The phasers and etc. After Star Trek all the other space films built upon that. __ In the TV series Firefly, they visit a planet called Bellerophon. __ In the film Serenity when they land on the planet named Miranda and make their way to the evidence of what occurred there (Reavers), we see there is a shuttle craft of some sort. It's Identifier is, C-57D. __ I have given nothing away in saying all this. It is an incredible film that easily stands the test of time. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. I mean everyone, of course.

Obviously Star Trek was hugely influenced by this, maybe more than Roddenberry even knew: 1) at the end of his original pilot, the Talosians (trying to rebuild their world) have to end their efforts because humans might gain the same power they had, and self-destruct as they had. 2) In Forbidden Planet, Morbius has them blow up the planet to keep people from gaining , and destroying themselves with, the power of the Krell.

Another almost forgotten classic you should check out is "Zulu". Actual events, with real people, a movie that avoids stating who are the "bad guys" and who are the "good guys" but instead shows a fight for survival. A race fighting to exist, vs a very small group of men suddenly fighting for their lives. Fun Fact. The Zulu King is actually played by his own direct descendant! The Zulu warriors are mostly actual Zulu people. Given the "time" and the "location" it's nice to know all the Zulu extras were fully paid.

The soundtrack was created by Bebe & Louis Barron by building electronic circuits that generated tones. They used the sounds for scenes based on the emotion they thought matched. An early synthesizer recording. The story is based on Shakespeare's The Tempest. The top Special effects at the time. The corny dialogue and acting are all that takes away from this classic. Leslie Nielsen was cast in AIRPLANE because of this serious acting style leading to his starring roles in comedy films of the 80s - 90s.

It’s interesting that the end notes that we are not gods. Because some people might claim that religion and laws, as the character says, is an attempt to play god and suppress our more aggressive natures. But this movie suggests that accepting our “id” is part of being able to control it, knowing that we alone aren’t necessarily enough to do that, but also that we never will fully be able to. Simply because we aren’t gods. I guess it’s interesting to connect the id to being a god, because it’s kind of both the opposite and the same? Getting rid of it entirely, or attempting to, like this guy or Dr. Jekyll. But then the id is very much like many gods in terms of being a force of nature. This doctor’s id was so powerful it was essentially indestructible, an uncontrollable deity. No wonder the Krell’s subconscious monsters destroyed millions of years of civilization in one night!

Loved this movie since I saw it as a kid (decades after it came out), and I've always ranked it next to 2001 and Close Encounters as my top sci-fi movies (at least as they pertain to space travel, aliens, etc). Planet Of The Apes would be up there too, I guess. All four are profound, amazing visually, amazing musically (!), and completely one-of-a-kind. And I believe you've now seen all four!!!!! Always wanted you to see this one, and it did not disappoint! One of the very best reactions; you guessed it!

Always love how you are able to highlight the good things in any movie. When I saw this on TV as a kid in the early 1960s, I was most impressed by the awesome shots of the Krell infrastructure, as you call it. I think those shots may have had some influence on the similar scene in “The Matrix,” when Neo awakens and sees the rows and rows of pods extending as far as the eye can see. When you mentioned the stunning background painting early in the movie, I realized for the first time that its style is very similar to Chesley Bonestell’s work. Bonestell was a renowned science fiction artist who painted many distinctive astronomical covers for “Fantasy and Science Fiction” magazine in the 1950s. A hat-tip to Walter Pidgeon, a major actor whose presence adds a great deal of weight and dignity to the drama.

Very 1950s in attitude but the vibe and style is epic, especially the Krell Labs, ID monster and electronic score.

The colonists would have been brought animals along as frozen fertilized eggs and test tube grown the animals upon arrival. Animals like chickens, pigs, cows, horses, dogs, cats, etc.. Why they'd bring tigers I have do idea.

I like your comments. However, there is something very frustrating going on. You often speak in a paragraph at a time. On screen there might be four very salient lines that follow quickly, one right after the other, each of which is very worthy of commenting on, or at least hearing. But you and your viewers will never know. Because your paragraph of commentary is overlapping all the other action. There is a simple solution to this. EVERY TIME YOU GO TO MAKE A COMMENT, PLEASE PAUSE THE MOVIE! PLEASE DO THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME! Otherwise, many of us will be frustrated. Your reactions are worthwhile. I hope to see your future videos.

Great choice of movie and great reaction, but please stop using the word "galaxy" because you're using it incorrectly every time. A galaxy is a cluster of many stars, usually a few hundred billion. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way galaxy. Galaxies are usually far apart compared to their size.
