This movie and The Day The Earth Stood Still are generally accepted as the best 1950's sci-fi films. Interestingly, they also both have very memorable robots.

[@BlueShadow777]

"generally accepted"? Who says? Reference?

[@barreloffun10]

People in general.....@@BlueShadow777

[@terrygerhart1485]

@Blueshodow, my Gort the two and1953 War of the Worlds represent the three best SciFi movies off all time. It took a trivial genre and applied enough special effects to support a good story in a serious manner. Other movies later are good but stand on the shoulders of the three giants.

[@SJHFoto]

War of the Worlds? Godzilla-King of the Monsters?

[@kimsikoryak3830]

I would add “The Thing From Another World.”

[@CharlesKast-d9b]

I'm 74.and Forbidden Planet is still one of my all time favorite sci fies. Robby is the best robot ever.

[@davegnarlsson4344]

This movie had unbeleivable special effects for the day. A good and true sci'fi flick.

[@jaykawala3270]

I remember watching this much later in my life than I would have expected. This movie was way ahead of its time.

[@jamielandis4308]

This is about the best 50’s sci-fi movie, but there are so many fun flicks from then: “The Time Machine,” “When Worlds Collide,” “The Thing From Another World,” “20 Million Miles To Earth,” “Gojira,” “Them,” and “Earth vs The Flying Saucers,” to name a few. My mom saw this in the theater as a young girl. She said the monster gave her nightmares. A movie with a similar soundtrack is “The Andromeda Strain,” a sci-fi classic from the 70’s.

[@SJHFoto]

I saw it in the theatre too! (My hometown would show old sci-fi on Saturdays when I was a kid (in the early 80s)) It WAS scary!

[@galandirofrivendell4740]

Forbidden Planet is notable in that it is the first movie to have a completely electronic score. As for the "transporter" effect early in the film, the crew was actually being protected from the ship's rapid deceleration. Otherwise the momentum would smash them into jelly on the walls. It was this scene that inspired Gene Roddenberry to create Star Trek 10 years later.

[@JosephZuccarini]

Also where Roddenberry got the idea for the term, "warp drive" which is used to denote the device that drives ship at faster than the speed of light (warp 1, warp 2, etc.).

[@mark-nm4tc]

This is widely regarded as the movie that inspired Star Trek. The sets were enormous and the designer blew most of the budget on them. The other big 50's SF film you should check out is Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

[@shainewhite2781]

The movie is based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

[@majkus]

…But this rough magic I here abjure; and when I have requir’d Some heavenly music (which even now I do) To work mine end upon their senses that This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book.

[@quentinmichel7581]

What you initially thought were "transporters", were devices to protect the crew from the extreme forces that they would be subject to when transitioning from FTL to sub-light speed.

[@christopheryochum3602]

This is a classic, and for good reason. The dialogue and concept was so well done, it can be viewed repeatedly. Really enjoyed!

[@trhansen3244]

I hear a remake is in the works but this time with a mostly female cast and more diversity. Diversity is our strength.

[@bradleybowles7979]

Another totally rad reaction Ola!! Forbidden Planet is not only my favorite sci-fi movie, it's my second favorite movie EVER (regardless of the genre)!!! Fun fact, Tommy and Lindsey are watching Forbidden Planet in the movie Halloween. The practical and special effects are some of the best EVER!!! The background noises/sounds are creepy but in a great way!!! Again, great reaction Ola, many blessings to you and yours.

[@micpar2]

Disney didall the effects/animation. For the ray guns, city underground, the monster and the ship. Robby, the spaceship itself were by the MGM studios.

[@aldunlop4622]

All of the masters of sci-fi writing that we still respect, such as Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Niven etc. wrote about similar themes, and that is the dangers of technology, that we should be careful and wise about science so we don’t make mistakes. The atomic bomb had only just been used when this movie came out, and tests with more and more powerful nuclear weapons scared people, and people realised that hubris (thinking we’re wise enough to play with these things) could be the cause of all life on Earth to be destroyed.

[@mikefoster6018]

A movie from only 11 years after WW2. Mindblowing.

[@aldito7586]

"I am serious". "And don't call me Shirley!" - "Look at the color of that sky!" / "I'll still take blue". / "I don't know". "I think a man could grow to love this".

[@SJHFoto]

A point of reference for those who don't know: Leslie Neilsen (the captain) is known today for the comedic roles he played in in the 70s and 80s. The quotes above are from that

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Aclassic. One of my favorites. Few sci-fi movies have this scale of imagineation.

[@actioncom2748]

20:55 - The filmmakers give a little hint of what's to come by giving the monster a goatee like Morbius.

[@matthewkirkhart2401]

This sci-if Freudian masterpiece deserves a remake!

[@trhansen3244]

Already in the works. This time the cast will be mostly female and with more diversity. Reportedly it will include three transgendered crewpersons and several persons of color. Also, the initial idea is to remove Robby the Robot and simply have an AI system like HAL-9000 from 2001.

[@michaelm6948]

Hollyweird will pack it with their twisted agendas. Result: a 10th rate, self indulgent exercise in politicized film making.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

This film established the future of film and television space films and TV. Gene Roddenberry has said that Forbidden Planet was a major inspiration for the Star Trek series. Warren Stevens plays Doc in the film and was a guest star in the Star Trek episode, By Any Other Name (1969) The Enterprise is 1701. That comes from the moment when the C57D (spacecraft) enters orbit around Altair IV (The DC point referred to in the film) -- As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

[@waterbeauty85]

I remember the book "The Making of Star Trek" had an excerpt that described the captain (I think he was Capt. April in that early concept) entering his quarters and removing his hat. The book said that first ideas for the uniform were inspired by the uniforms in Forbidden Planet in which had hats.

[@JFinSD2]

That sequence that reminded you of Star Trek transporter is to protect the crew when they drop out of hyper drive.

[@timingenkamp3973]

One of my favorite parts of the movie was when the creature attacked the ship. If you look closely you'll see Morbius in the Krell lab asleep, and in the background you can see many of the power gauges at full power. You'll find out later of course that the planet was creating the creature taken directly from Morbius' mind. I had just felt that this was a brilliant touch from the writers.

[@TTM9691]

This was FANTASTIC! This was a beautiful reaction to a beautiful movie. I am so happy you were as enchanted with this as I/we always have! The 50s - just like every other decade, before and after - had some fantastic movies I think you'd love: "Singin' In The Rain", "Roman Holiday", "Rear Window", "A Streetcar Named Desire", just to name four essential super classics for you. There were great movies in the 40s, in the 30s, in the 1920s, a hundred years ago. It's amazing to see. You can watch Buster Keaton's "One Week" from 1921, or Douglas Fairbanks "Mark Of Zorro" from 1920 and they are as amazing as ever. So please keep hitting the "classics" from time to time. Every decade has their amazing, iconic movies!

[@martinboyle9163]

This is my favorite film. It's perfect.

[@jesse33cdn]

You choose such great Films! ..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@LSOK38]

MGM borrowed 4 technicians from Disney Studios to create the special effects for this movie!

[@timingenkamp3973]

Forbidden Planet's sound effects came from a very new technology still very much in use today. The electric guitar.

[@jjperez1]

Definitely one of my favs! The sounds are the first electronic score used on film!

[@BondFreek]

6:50 Robbie's program of conduct is based off of Isaac Asimov's the three robot laws. Isaac Asimov got tired of seeing robots being described as evil murderous machines. So he created 3 robot laws for his stories so that the reader would know his robots would never harm a human. Other scientific riders love this and May their own version of his three laws.

[@brandonflorida1092]

And it's pretty clear from the dialog in "Aliens" that they follow something like Asimov's 3 laws.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

@@brandonflorida1092 They certainly didn't in the first one

[@brandonflorida1092]

@@TheNeonRabbit That's for sure.

[@rickkennett3192]

Robby shorts out when Morbius tells him to kill the monster because he knows the monster is Morbius. So that means Robby must have known all along what was attacking the ship and what had killed the original colonists, but no one had bothered to ask him.

[@martinpaternoster]

This, The Day The Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds and This Island Earth I regard as classics.

[@trip189n]

Another movie you should react to that was ahead of it's time is 1966 Fantastic Voyage.

[@hawkmaster381]

I think those glowing tubes when they came out of hyperdrive were some kind of inertia dampening “seat belts”.

[@TheBackLibrary]

I remember first watching this on letterbox (widescreen) VHS in the mid-90s. Good times.

[@SeaDrive300]

"... last night our klystron monitor was sabotaged." "And you suspect me! Then the time has come for clarifications..." Morbius then proceeds to describe the whole history of the Krell, which has nothing whatsoever to do with "clarifying" anything, and has nothing to do with whether or not he sabotaged the klystron monitor...

[@walterfechter8080]

"Forbidden Planet" (my favorite) had some competition in the year 1956 -- "The Ten Commandants" and "Moby Dick." When I first saw "Forbidden Planet," I thought, "Star Trek." The ship passing by the eclipse 2:47 reminds me of "Alien." No doubt, Ridley Scott ("Alien") borrowed a few ideas from this film. The Monster from The Id in its invisible form, creating those footprints, gave me the creeps. MGM hired some animation technicians from Walt Disney studios create some of the special effects -- the disintegrator (disposal) beams, the lights inside Robby's head, the beams inside the Krell installation, and the Id Monster. The storyline for this film was loosely based on "The Tempest" (William Shakespeare). Thanks for posting this.

[@henrytjernlund]

Some say that this is actually a sci-fi retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

[@aldunlop4622]

It most definitely is. That was it’s intention.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Ola, very nice to see you!🙂This film was definitely ahead of its time. Robby the Robot has been famous in sci-fi since the 50s!🏆Altaira has never seen another woman, so she does not know what is appropriate to wear. She just wears what she likes. She also doesn't know how to act around men, as the only one she has known is her father. The twist at the end was cool. It seems the Krell (aliens) probably destroyed themselves the same way. This is a great film! I own this one. Great reactions to the oldest fim you have reacted to, Ola!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@stevetheduck1425]

Have recently discovered from yt vids about language, that the word 'monster' is cognate with 'mind' and 'idea'. A 'monster of the mind' is literally a monster from the Id.

[@brandonflorida1092]

My personal thanks for reviewing this brilliant classic from my childhood. To answer your question at the beginning of the movie, when they want into the tubes that looked like "Star Trek" transporter platforms at what they called "the DC point" they were decelerating or shedding the speed that had gotten them there. Normally, shedding so much speed might take months of deceleration if you don't want to turn the crew into a grease spot on the wall. In those tubes, they were turned into a gaseous form so that they could survive very, very high decelerations so that they could reduce speed in a minute rather than many months.

[@harrytrevenen2310]

Olavity, if you found this one entertaining, then you'll probably really like, "First Men in the Moon" and "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" both from 1964, just as good if not better special effects, both more of a fun adventure too.

[@waterbeauty85]

"Robinson Crusoe on Mars" gets overlooked a lot. I'd really appreciate Olavity reacting to it.

[@barreloffun10]

I agree about Robinson Crusoe on Mars.@@waterbeauty85

[@jsl151850b]

2:15 *Transitioning from faster than light to normal speeds would kill the crew unless their atoms were held together by the beams.*

[@Beery1962]

Great movie! Great reaction! You always get so emotionally involved in the movies, and that's great to watch.

[@micpar2]

More of the original classic iconic 1950's SF movies. That I think you might like are The Thing (1051) The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) The story is kind of slow. But I think until Star Wars (1977) has the best story the begining 15 mins and the ending are great. The War of the Worlds (1953), THEM! (1954) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

[@txheadshots]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time… the granddaddy of Science Fiction… and based loosely on Shakespeare’s The Tempest

[@tranya327]

I enjoyed your reaction. I wanted to comment on one aspect of the film: Who is Altara? I think we are supposed to believe that before Adams and his crew arrived, Altara had no sexual desire or curiosity: “Why should people want to kiss each other?” Altara becomes romantically attracted to the Captain - only AFTER he stops being “nice” and begins imposing rules on her (a masculine behavior that gives her femininity something to ‘push against’). For her own protection, she must not dress in seductive, form-fitting clothing in front of the male crew. Adams expects her to know what he’s talking about: her inadvertently arousing the men, and the possibility of either sex or rape. But, these seem to all be completely foreign notions to Altara. Before she becomes sexually attracted to the Captain, Altara is able to interact peacefully with the tiger. She is ‘at one’ with the plants and animals of her world, as if she is Eve in the Garden of Eden. But, after she passionately kisses Captain Adams - after she has her femininity and her sexual drive awakened - that is the moment she becomes ‘fully human,’ and can no longer be ‘at one’ with the animals. This is why the tiger turns on her. She has now been separated from the ‘animal kingdom’ - she is (now) above and beyond it. The tiger ‘knows’ this. Altara helps further the point when she declares, “He didn’t recognize me! Why?” Adams responds, “You really don’t know, do you?” Her awakened sexuality has made her a different being. I think that 1950s audiences, being immersed in Biblical concepts and classic Western literature, would have gotten what the film’s creators were going for. Today’s audiences have that educational background to a much smaller degree, and I think find the whole thing puzzling: “The film is trying to say something, but I don’t know what.” Morbius’s monster only returns from its long absence, after Altara reports to him, that her sexual flirtation with the rescue crew has progressed from verbal banter to the physical level of hugging and kissing. The ‘dark’ part of Morbius can’t accept the notion of giving his daughter up. I think that Morbius engineered Altara’s education with specific gaps: He seems to view Earth as not worth returning to; would it be a stretch to believe he thought that, “Human civilization is greedy and corrupt - is there really a purpose in exposing my daughter to it? Its history, and literature? Why, when she’ll never be among them?” So, Altara knows math, but not Shakespeare. She may have been exposed to ’Thomas-the-Tank’ kids’ stories, but not to adult novels. Star Trek (TOS) has an episode that parallels this film, in its third season, “Requiem for Methuselah.” The Sci Fi movie ‘The Fifth Element’ also plays with this idea: a woman who is (literally or figuratively) ‘born yesterday’ - and has no history of evaluating men, is thrown into the presence of the male hero, and inevitably falls for him. All three female characters - Altara, Rayna and Leeloo - are depicted as having no sexual side or desire, until the hero comes along and releases it. The film IS solidly entertaining, and it's exceptionally well done for its time. (I always enjoy it!) But it is also useful to view it now, & to compare pieces of today's dominant philosophy to that at the time the film was made.

[@MrSleazey]

Very good analysis; you gave a very lucid and valuable summary of Altara's psychological development, and how it drove the plot.

The effect similar to the Star Trek transporters was not them teleporting. Those were inertial dampers to prevent the crew from being tossed around inside the spacecraft when it decelerated from faster-than-light speed to sub-light speed.

The GREAT SCI-FI CLASSIC...STILL AWE INSPIRING 👨🏻‍🚀🚀

[@thetetrarchofapathy9728]

A recommendation I haven't seen in your comments for a quality 50's sci-fi movie is When Worlds Collide; it's based on the first of two novels and is very good. The original The Time Machine and War of the Worlds are also quite good.

[@NoelleMar]

Such a cool interpretation of The Tempest! I haven’t seen it in years. Glad you reacted to this.

A lot of people don't realize this, but FORBIDDEN PLANET spelled backward is TENALP NEDDIBROF.

[@mrwidget42]

May I also add that many film historians have noted the many parallels between Forbiden Planet and a much older story, namely The Tempest by William Shakespear. Morbid being the analogue for Prospero, for exmple.

[@josephmckinney9660]

2:43 - “What did you do, Jerry?” Jerry was the ship’s navigator and pilot. He liked to see how close he could get to a star before the ship dropped out of hyperspace. The Captain did not like him doing this because one day they were going to get too close and everyone would be killed. As soon as the ship drops out of hyperspace at Altair one of the crewmen comments on the temperature inside the ship. The Captain checks the navigation station and realizes Jerry has done it again. He begins to say Jerry’s name as the scene ends. This was the beginning of a cut scene where the Captain chews out Jerry out for putting the ship and crew at risk. I haven’t watched it in several years, but this scene between Jerry and the Captain used to be on KZbin with a collection of other Forbidden Planet outtakes.

[@jimdetry9420]

In the original SF story this movie was adapted from, at the end, when they leave, the daughter disappears. It turned out Morbius didn't actually have a duaghter bet he wanted one, so the Krell macheine made her for him.

[@mrwidget42]

The "sound effects" is actually a music track after all. It is a solo performance on an early electronic music instrument called a Theremin, named after the inventor Lev Theremin. This movie was the first time that I know of where a Theremin was used. The story of tne inventor is quite fascinating itself. Shortly after ww2 he was put to work in the soviet gulag system, inventing ingenious spy devices for the KGB until 1966. Notorious episodes of espionage against the United States occurred because of his ingenuity. The Wikipedia page is chock full of stuff you would like.

[@donsample1002]

The Hollywood musicians union didn’t think the sound track qualified as “real music” and didn’t let it even be nominated for an Academy Award.

[@mrwidget42]

For what it's worth I used to be a member of that union (the AFM). It had a certain reputation of being the worst representing union in the AFL-CIO. It was at the time when Las Vegas casinos were getting rid of the old live music in the shows, to be replaced by taped music, so there was a long labor dispute about that. The AFM decided to have the national convention at the Flamingo on the strip, thereby making us have to cross over our own picket lines. How's that for representation?

[@majkus]

Not a theremin! The theramin was used by Bernard Hermann in 1951's 'Day the Earth Stood Still' (and earlier still by Miklós Rózsa in 'The Lost Weekend', 1945), but it is, more or less, a simple oscillator with a clever modulation technique that produces somewhat vocal-sounding glissandos, not the more textured synthesized sounds you hear in this film.

[@buidseach]

Great reaction, thanks :)

[@actioncom2748]

2:14 - They're trying to slow the ship down. The problem from going From "faster than light" to normal speed Is that it would throw you against the wall So fast that your brain wouldn't have time to register before you died. Kind of like what happens to you in a car crash. That device the crew gets into is to prevent them from being thrown against the wall.

I always felt that Altheia is just trolling her suitors when she acts naive and unaware of their romantic advances. Whike she is naive it is hinted many times she is highly educated and she must have read lots of novels in her spate times, which is all the time. She knew the guys were sweet on her but she just played along and trolled them for her own amusement. An innocent rascal if you will, making her quite endearing.

[@chriscummings4206]

I recently purchased the novelization of Forbidden Planet (a library edition-printed in 1967) it is extremely difficult to read because of its very detailed descriptions of both the story and the technology. Back in the day when it was written what we believed the future would be like did not need to be over explained in a 1950s version of Old English. I even find some of the Star Trek original series novelization are difficult to read because of their overly descriptive text. Just kind of putting that out there. I'm not sure what books you have read in the past or if you would ever be interested in reading any of the novelizations of the movies that you have watched. I heard that the Jurassic Park book is very good- thus, so is the movie!😂❤

It's sad that too many people just watch things that are no older than 20 years old. Such a waste.

Basically it's a longer Star Trek episode from the original series, it's mind blowing how Gene Roddenberry followed this same formula adding here and there some new ideas.

He carries a naked gun.

At the end, you saw Robby piloting the ship. Why would they allow him to do that ? Was that unrealistic ? There was a SEQUEL. In it we learn that Robby can hypnotize people and that he also has powers that Morbius and his daughter did not understand or even know about. Morbius used Krell circuitry to create Robby. The sequel is called, "The Invisible Boy" and it takes place on Earth in the 1950s.Robby had navigated the ship into a time warp. The sequel involves a secret 1950s space program and a secret moon base. It explores Artificial Intelligence more deeply than any other film that I know of. Robby is actually the star of "The Invisible Boy" from 1958. I think it is as good as "Forbidden Planet" but many people do not understand it.

This is very much like a Star Trek film. Almost like a prequel.

This movie inspired a lot of elements of Star Trek, not least the concept of a kind of "space airforce" a.k.a. Starfleet, the recurring theme of visiting a colony on ahother planet only to learn that all is not as it seems, etc.

Robby the Robot became a star w/ this movie and appeared on over 40 films & TV shows. This movie is very much like the early Star Trek TV show, but a bit more complex.
