Title: Forbidden Planet Review
Review: Forbidden Planet is arguably the true progenitor of the modern science fiction epic. The influence this movie has had on the likes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien and Aliens is clearly seen in the visuals, structure and suspense of this ground-breaking motion picture. For newcomers to this classic, compare the poster art (which reflects the sci-fi taste of the time) with the actual movie and you will see how far ahead of its time Forbidden Planet was. I was fortunate enough to have seen this movie during its original release when its special effects were still state-of-the-art. I can still remember hiding my face during some of the scenes while my big sister kept me informed of what was going on. After all of these years it is still a joy to watch. Forbidden Planet is truly timeless.
