À propos de ce film

A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair provides astonishing evidence of a populace a million years more advanced than Earthlings. There are many wonders on Altair-4, but none is greater or more deadly than the human mind. Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen portrays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied Altair-4 world that's home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), the remarkable Robby...and to a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all- electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.

Notes et avis

One of my favorite movies of all time! I would have given it 5 stars but there's a scene of victim blaming (Commander Adams saying it would have served Alta right if his crew had their way with her given what she's wearing). Aside from that 30 second scene, everything's just A-OK!

Forbidden Planet as far as I am concerned is the best science fiction motion picture pre-Star Wars. It is great story telling and is not campy like most sci-fi was back in the day. Special effects are fifties style but I feel are still good down to this day! Please watch and enjoy this movie!

This is the precursor of nearly all space sci-fi with special effects that are still copied today. I was surprised by how many elements had resurfaced in Star Trek. Plot line is thought provoking, but the acting is a bit stilted. Walter is the great aristocrat, Anne is delicious, and Leslie is showing early comedic chops. Given the sci-fi Hollywood environment of the time, late Fifties grade-B monster movies, this is one of the best of the best.
