Amazon.com essential video:
This 1956 pop adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest is one of the best, most influential science fiction movies ever made. Its space explorers are the models for the crew of Star Trek's Enterprise, and the film's robot is clearly the prototype for Robby in Lost in Space. Walter Pidgeon is the Prospero figure, presiding over a paradisiacal world with his lovely young daughter and their servile droid. When the crew of a spaceship lands on the planet, they become aware of a sinister invisible force that threatens to destroy them. Great special effects and a bizarre electronic score help make this movie as fresh, imaginative, and fun as it was when first released.

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.

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.

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.

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............

I have been fascinated with this movie since I first saw it decades ago. My love for it hasn't changed. The special effects were especially good for that age of this film.
