forbidden planet

If you ever see forbibdden planet in hd or blur ray get it , it's great. August 23, 2008

Question about packaging

I love this movie, and the copy I ordered just arrived from Amazon. The case was opened, however. It wasn't wrapped in the hard-to-open plastic sheeting, and there wasn't any security tape on the case. In other words, it just opened right up.
I'm concerned that this might be a used copy and that I might be missing some printed material. The only items in the case besides the two discs were the plain white piece of carboard with the security sticker, and an ad for TCM movies.
Can any of you who purchased this tell me if I'm missing anything, such as a scene selection card or booklet or anything?
Thanks! August 15, 2008

Forbidden Planet

Good story. Based on Shakespeare's Tempest. Great special effects for its time. The dvd has some good extras including Robby's second appearance in "The Invisible Boy".

I found the DVD was in fine shape, a good transfer and sound. July 27, 2008

Forbiden Planet review

I consider this movie to be the beginning of modern science fiction movies. I had been looking for a copy for years and was told by Block Buster it was out of print,I was delighted to find it was not out of print completely every where. I recommend this sight & product. July 24, 2008

The building of "Robbie"

I've always been a sci-fi fan, and Forbidden Planet is a true classic, they were so far ahead of their time when they made this file, only now with our current special effects and computer generated graphics could we make a sequel that would or could do it justice (but I hope they don't) and the bonus of seeing the design and building of "Robbie", that alone was worth the price of the dvd set.....I promise you, you won't regret this purchase at all............
