The Forbidden Planet is the story of a classic flying saucer containing a human crew, heading for Altare 4, aka, "The Forbidden Planet". They are investigating missing scientists, who landed on the planet.... 20 years ago... Guys.... really? Cmon. They're dead...Is what I thought! Well, not really, but you know. No signs of civilization are detected, until someone makes radio contact with them from the planet, a human voice. JJ Adams, the commander, speaks to 'Morbius', a man on the scientist party! *gasp*. Morbius tells Adams that it's too danagerous to come down... I won't spoil anything else, but I'll begin my review at this point. The movie itself was fanastic. It's perfect for all audiences, with never a dull moment. The movie is exciting, entreging, and without a doubt one of my favorite classics. One thing the movie got wrong that I found hilarious was that it predicted that we would land on the moon at the END of the 21st century. The pace accelerates at different chunks, staying on one plot point for a while before quickly moving to the next point in the story. The characters feel a bit bland, especially the members of the flying saucer crew. I personally recommend Forbidden Planet, because anyone can enjoy it. One of my big problems about the movie though is it leaves some unresolved details, which are never truly explained. I give Forbidden Planet an 8/10. It's a fantastic movie to see, and I definetly plan on watching it again.
