"The 1956 film, “Forbidden Planet”, was a cinematic watershed. A culmination and refinement of the science fiction films that came before, it set a new benchmark in the genre, influencing just about every sci-fi film that came afterwards. It was the bridge between the previously seen giant insects, costumed aliens, and rickety spaceships, and the super realistic science fiction films of today. You can clearly see its influence in landmark productions such as the original “Star Trek” TV series, and the “Star Wars” films (and the creators of both have cited this film as inspiration). “Forbidden Planet” was cutting-edge in just about every way, including its Academy Award nominated special effects, and its electronic score. This classic film is fun, mesmerizing, and thrilling - everything you would want from a sci-fi film."
