Console best movie i've ever seen.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

buckikris A group of scientists/ military travel to the planet Altair 4. It is 2200 AD they are on a mission. I the year 2200 man has concurred many missions in space & with the help of hyper drive they have the ability to reach deep space exploration. The United Planets Cruiser commanded by commander Adams( Leslie Nelsen) travel with his crew to the planet Altair 4. Altair 4 is an Earth like planet, but with green skies and two moons. Twenty years ago The Valia landed here, but all the crew except Dr. Morphosis( Walter Piegon), and is daughter, Altera( Anne Francis) were killed. Just before landing Dr. Morphosis warns them not to land on Altair 4. If they do he will not be held responsible if something happens. Commander Adams ignores his warning, and lands anyway. When the ship lands Commander Adams, Lt. Doc Ostrov( Warren Stevens), and Lt. Forman( Jack Kelly) are meet by a robot named Robbie. The three are taken to Morphosis's home where they meet Altera( Anne Francis). The three along with Morphosis, and Alteria set down and talk. Then the Doctor introduces the crew to Robbie. Robbie is a robot like no other, cooks, cleans, does chores. He is programmed to do just about anything, plus he has a built in safety device that prevents him from harming humans. Dr. Morphosis gives the crew more info concerning The Valarian. The Valarian and it's crew were terrorized by an invisible creature. He explains there was no way it could be destroyed. Somehow he and Altera were immune from being harmed by it. While waiting fro Dr. Morphosis, Commander Adams and Dr. Ostrov find a way to get into Morphosis study. There they find a type of hieroglyphics. While studying the papers, Morphosis finds them. There he tells them about an anciet species called the Krell. The Krell were a highly advanced than humans, and at one time walked on Earth during the time of early man. They brought back bio specimens to study. Then one night the Krell perished along with their magnificent architecture. All disappearing back into Altairs soil. The along with Morphosis go on a tour to see the Krell underground. They discover the Krell I.Q. test,stronger material, and fascinating architecture. One night while on watch an invisible creature enters the ship. The only thing damaged was their Plaston Frequency Modulator. The crew return to the ship and set up an electronic perimeter this time to catch the beast. It fails but the creature make footsteps where it was. The only thing they can do is make a cast of the print. Adams discovers something strange about this print, and realizes this creature is one that Morphosis has developed from his subconscious. They try to destroy it, but realize the only way it can be destroyed is by destroying Morphosis. One of the crew must break into the lab a take the brain boost. When Morphosis took the brain boost the first time, it altered his subconscious. It made is I.Q. higher, but it also made conjured a monster from the ID part of his subconscious. In other words one of the crew must take the brain boost to defeat Morphosis subconscious monster. In the end it is successful, but Adams loses Doc in the processes; and Altara losses her father. The survivors safely leave along with Robbie and Alteria.In conclusion, this is a great film with excellent effect of the time. I didn't know this at first; but look for Richard Anderson( 6 million dollar man) as Quinn. This is a great Sy-Fy movie that was ahead of it's time.

chaswe-28402 Misled, having been told this was Shakespeare in outer space, I found this enormously disappointing. Others seem to think this disaster was the first science fiction film. In 1956 ? Metropolis, genuine science fiction, was created in 1928. There were in any case dozens of greater films, of every sort, in far more glorious Technicolor, long before 1956. I thought this was supposed to be an updated version of Shakespeare, but other than the marooned father and daughter, I could find hardly any parallels. Perhaps the Id was meant to be Caliban. The best that can be said about this weird production is that it's a true curiosity. The only figure that remotely resembled a professional actor was Walter Pigeon, and the dialogue and events, especially those involving the would-be Miranda, reached depths of unique inanity.

Grumpy The pure, essential essence of 1950's-era science fiction. It's primitive in a way--but you have to accept that. It's not like they had decades of science fiction film tropes to refer to so none of the slow kids would get lost. They also didn't have a million and one expert science fiction writers to call upon to write the script. They had to settle for what they had, but it was wonderful. In order to appreciate this film you have to stop judging it and comparing it to other films from other times. It is the best of its type for its time, and then it is also a wonderful, almost accidental masterpiece. Robbie the Robot is the first GOOD movie robot. The space ship is the first GOOD movie space ship. The story is the first (and almost the last) GOOD movie space story. You may not understand the story the first time through. Don't be a jerk and blame the script. You missed something. Watch it again. Then, finally, after you understand what is going on ("my poor Krell") and you're no longer gagging on the stupid sexual innuendo (yes, it's dumb, get over it) you can really sit back and enjoy one of life's true intellectual pleasures. The strange story of how one may live a life of the mind, and nothing else, inspired by a long- dead civilization and their hideous technology. Forbidden Planet. Father of Star Trek.

Tom Kanon Man, I don't know where to begin with this...THE PRAISING I can understand that a movie can get some credit for being the first to use this, or do that. But "being the first to" doesn't automatically mean "being the best" If you follow that twisted logic, then the commodore 64 was, is and always will be the best PC around...quot non...off course! Anyone claiming this movie to be the best Sci-fi he/her has ever seen clearly has only seen 1 sci-fi movie in his/her lifetime... Forbidden planet was not, is not and will never be the best sci-fi movie. period.THE ACTING Lol...can we even speak of acting? Just watch the scene where everyone is "shooting" at the monster... Or when they find the footprints... Dear lord, you can get better acting in B movies.THE BOREDOM The biggest flaw in this movie: the lack of any action. Mind you, I don't necessarily need action in my movies. But this is a thriller/murder mysteries/whatever, so a little bit of action would be nice. But no, no action here boys. It's a mindless chain of stupendous events. From a pointless love-story to a meaningless in-dept elaboration about the krell and their achievements. Yawn.Plot holes Ah yes...the good old plot holes. Well, if you like plot holes, than this movie is gold. To name a few: -how can Morbius have a daughter when she was not on board of the ship and his wife died a few month after landing on the planet. -how can 18 soldiers and a magneto-tank fit into that tiny UFO? -how can this humongous monster walk the stairs the first time without any trouble, but not the second time. -why does the monster suddenly disappear -...etc etc.... The list goes on and on and on....Yes...the forbidden planet is a true stinker and I cannot, for the love of God, explain why anyone, anyone, would think this is the best sci-fi ever made. Its boring, filled with bad acting, more boredom, bad scripting and even more boredom. AVOID AT ANY COST!!
