 Golden Oldie
As a collector of old movies, this is one I have wanted for a long time.
Whenever I want a hard to get movie, I come to your company. Thank you for the movies I have gotten through you and thank you for being on the look-out for ones I still want. Forbidden Worlds is a "classic" Sci-fi.
Forbidden Planet
Forbidden Planet (Two-Disc Special Edition)Great movie, great transfer. Still better than most science fiction movies out these days.
Revisit of Forbidden Planet
I admit, I've been spoiled by Star Trek and Next Generation. I just had to
take another look at my old favorites. I don't remember the actors but I
do remember Robby, the robot. He's one of a kind. Liked all the special
effects of the Krell Power Station. I was hopping for for another movie
with Robby. But I had to wait for Lost IN Space to come along to get my wish. Movie is worth the money. I passed my copy onto my son for Christ-
mas. Theme is timeless and the acting is pretty good. Maybe a modern
version will come out? But the old version will do for now!
 Robby Robot Rules
This movie is one hour and 38 minutes long and was released on March 15, 1956. Since this movie is based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, a book I never read, I cannot do a compare and contrast. In the movie, you can see some effects that Star Trek used in its television show. Basically the movie is set in the year 2200 and a group of soldies is sent to the planet Altair IV to find out what happen to a group of scientists who try to colonize the planet 20 years ago. Once the expedition reaches the planet reaches the planet the find the three remaining survivors. Robby The Robot, Dr. Edward Morbius, and Altaira "Alta" Morbius. Murders start turning up when an invsible creature start attacking the crew. The movie does have some laughs and tries to make a statement. I would recommend this movie to any. Just for the special effects alone.
Time and Space
I remember this movie as a young boy sitting up one night and watching it on the family's B&W TV. What impressed me most was the invisible monster, and the vast underground complex of machines (and maybe Anne Francis' legs!). It was science of The Future, and it never lost it's hold on me.
So this satisfying DVD set came at a good time for myself, at an age where I can appreciate the art and technology (and Anne Francis' legs!) that went into it's production. As a hard-core science fiction fan, and appreciative of it's Shakespeare, I can relate to the thought and care that this film enjoys. The features added to the collection are great to view, with Robbie the Robot as the centerpiece of attention.
In all, I got a pretty good deal for the price, and am satisfied with the films. Maybe, as some say, more could have been done to make this a collector's edition, but this is a '50's movie people. We're lucky we got as much as we did. And the movie?..Still fascinating after all these years.
