You name it!

Nope, since the Krell are long gone and the Mobius family of humans reside there now 👽

Footage of that ship showed up on a number of Twilight Zone episodes.

You and me too!!😄

@Maska Jinzo So young. So stupid :)

@Maska Jinzo Smile, young boy, smile :)

Saw this on TV around the same age. I'm 30 now and I would rewatch this movie again.

Every scifi epic since has owed a great debt to Forbidden Planet. Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien . . . all the biggies. They even introduced the concept of Hyperspace in this film! I never tire of this one or the original War of the Worlds!

I saw this on a local NYC TV station back in 1964 or '65. I was 9 or 10. I just turned 65, and still wonder why there was never a sequel

One of the best sci fi movies created thus far. Bravo!

Vey well said !

Could not have said it any better.

You know the Soviets watched these movies and felt left behind despite putting Sputnik in orbit. Forbidden Planet, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Wars. The Russians have limited imagination....look at things now.

Saw it with earth vs flying saucers

you are totally right it is a classic in the genre stands the test of time

A great sci-fi movie. Always will be a great movie.

I was 9yrs old when it came out. So ahead of its time in so many ways. The synthesizer sound track (a first!) was the audio effects and the audio effects were the sound track. Most '50s sci-fi movies had guys in rubber suits. The "monster" in the neutron beams was nothing I had seen before and scared the absolute living crap out of me.

The Classics are always "timeless"!

No kidding. Now it's 67 years later, and that landing still looks awesome

We kids mostly sat there with our mouths open. Occasionally saying, look at that ! Or Wow !

So interesting. This is what happened in the USA, in my country in the same time had an invasion and a terror state was started where even childrens were executed. Wonder how advanced the culture of mankind could be with a little bit less control and more freedom.

u got damn right

It was mat painting That's what they used before green screen It reached its peak in the Indiana Jones movies

@@jamesricker3997 matte*

Don't forget the third timeless one, which completes my trilogy of Best Sci-Fi of the past...."Them!"

And "The Thing." Both the original and the remake were great.

They just copy real life science to their science-fiction, nothing extraordinary, you got used to sci-fi-fantasy that is all. Star Wars changed sci-fi forever.

Artificial gravity + natural gravity = 2x gravity no?

I first saw it in 1956 with my mom, sister in her PJs, mom's friend and her daughter, in a drive-in! Thus, I saw it in mono from that little drive-in speaker... didn't matter to my 8 year old mind! Later in life, I bought the Cinefantastique issue with the small Robby poster. Later, I got the soundtrack LP and then the CD. This movie never gets old. Oh, I"m also writing a thinly-disguised sequel which features the character played by Earl Holliman, the only cast member who's still alive in 2022.

@@KutWrite i would cut and paste your reply to his comment again and post it as a solo comment as it was interesting ! Thanks !

@@tommydronesmaaddaaah9911 Thanks, I will!

Well said. : )

Except it’s only retro from todays viewpoint. When it was made this was definitely future forward.

Your take on this is right on target. I remember replaying these sounds with endless fascination in my head as a child. Louis and Bebe Baron surely formulated some beautiful sounds from what today would be considered ancient technology. It goes to show their wonderful ingenuity in working in such a labor and imagination-intensive technical environment way back in 1954.

Well, you oldster ;), I’m seven years younger and I would not argue with a single thing you say! A work of pioneering genius and hugely influential even to today.

alexfromnb Perfect Comments!

You haven't seen Wakanda

ST basically stole its bridge design from Klaatu's ship in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" -- command chair placed at the center of a round control room, facing two other crew stations, with a screen between the latter, an elevator/door offset behind the chair, and a shallow domed ceiling that provides the light.

I agreed👩‍🚀🚀

The same art director designed the C57D and the Jupiter 2. Roddenberry was a big fan of FP.

I believe Robbie made a visit to "Lost in Space".

It seems more common sense just little things like "everyone carry a sidearm" until it's clear order. Just normal precautions one would take before going into a planet.

That stairway doesn't budge a millimeter even with all those guys scampering down, some without touching a handrail.

Look at Star Trek Kirk, Spock, Bones and sometime Scotty all beam down on planet first

@@chrisby30 Plus Ensing Ricky, you forgot about Ensing Ricky. Understandable because Ricky won't beam back to the ship.

These guys were the first "red shirts", poor bastards

Not to mention that James Drury (the Virginian) and Richard Anderson (Six Million Dollar Man) and Earl Holliman (several westerns) were there. The second officer and the doctor were also veteran actors. This was a stellar cast at a time when they were still early in their careers.

LOL!

It didn't do at that well at the box office at the time, so the studio took that to mean audiences didn't want other films of this type.

I"m writing a thinly-disguised sequel which features the character played by Earl Holliman, the only cast member who's still alive in 2022.

Production went way over budget and audiences didn't recognize the film's value until years later.

The Day The Earth Stood Still remake: 100% totally horrible. Dreadful. I will never watch it again.

@Tom Dick "... ship too small …", we still see this, vis.: "Star Wars", others.

@Tom Dick IF intelligently done with care, and honoring the original and with ZERO identity politics and wokeness it could be done. But not in the current climate in Hollywoke. Maybe later, as in 3 March 2031 to mark the 75th Anniversary.

@@Puzzoozoo Probably need wait until it join public domain: Year 1956+96 = 2052. From year 2052+ any one can remake it, no need Hollywood. If US no have corrupt government, this movie join public domain: Year 1956+57 = 2013! if follow law WHEN make this movie in 1956.

It added an element of realism. The captain decided to pilot her in himself, thus the occasional wobble in flight and a slight bounce on landing. The Apollo lunar module pilots would have appreciated this.

@@stevenpilling5318 The Lunar Module was piloted by the Commander with the designated Lunar Module pilot relegated to an assistant role. Neil Armstrong broke protocol by allowing Buzz Aldrin to pilot the take off.

Yes, unfortunately, each Star Trek movie becomes more childish. All that crap with the motorcycle finished it for me.

Justyburger. Except for, well..., Star Trek.

trha2222 Yes, good movie, both the original and the new one!

+trha2222 it's waaaay better than Tron. And I like Tron.

+trha2222 Of course. Tron was made 30 years after this movie so you'd expect it to have more advanced effects. But we're talking the movie itself, not just the effects. And even with that there are effects in this movie that are just as good as Tron.

+trha2222 Not really, the original Tron takes place in a graphic reality so everything looks animated and cartoony, as it should in that world. Forbidden Planet takes place in our reality so the effects have to be more realistic. Today I can't really watch Tron 1982 without thinking how primitive the effects look since CGI has come so far. It all looks like a cartoon. Forbidden Planet looks a lot less dated because so many of the techniques used, miniatures, matte paintings, animation... are still used to varying degrees still today. But besides that, Forbidden Planet is just a far superior story to either Trons. Better acting, better story telling, better characters, better direction. and all around just better executed.

This movie inspired so many future Science Fiction films

I’d call it a tossup between the two. Both super cool though.

You got that right!

I saw this when a kid and it's in my CD collection. In my opinion thevreal enemy in this story was not Dr.. Morbious but the AI that killed the Krall civilization. Another was in 2001 a space oddessie where the ship's computer killed everyone on board except one who was able to turn it off. I don't trust AI, if we're not careful we may end up like the Krall... Extinct.

Surely you jest.

@@edfederoff2679 I'm not jesting...and well you know the rest...😂

Hard to call this "formulaic" because this one had such a grand concept. The monster isn't a giant spider or a dinosaur or a blob of semi-sentient jelly. The monster is you in your dreams. In terms of the ancient Greek classification of stories, this isn't man against nature or man against man. It is man against self.

The shadows from the rocks on the right at 0:58 indicate the light source is coming from the right of the saucer. Therefore when the saucer lands the shadow should be to the left, not directly beneath it.

@@exoressdelivers70 That little detail I saw too. At 0:36 and again at 0:56 there is a light shadow in the rocks on the far right along the base of the mountains that tracks the saucer motion. Maybe the shadow cast from a moon and not the darker one from the sun. Would someone even think of that detail?

The outfits worn by the saucer crew saw reuse in several sci-fi productions like Amazon Women on the Moon, The Time Machine, Queen of Outer Space, and The Twilight Zone.

Did your grandmother like it?

Surely he can’t be serious.

@@MuzixMaker Don't call me Shirley! ;)

Leslie's stepping style was fascinating to watch

I was 8 also when i saw it in the theatre. Scared the crap out of me.

The original Day the Earth Stood Still saucer approach and landing was pretty cool, too.

@@slaughterhouse5585 It was pretty warm to me.

"The Invaders" tv.show of 1967..."landing of a craft from another galaxy"...

They’d make it woke. And destroy it. Just as they do everything good.

@@bob494949 You are absolutely right!

Too much exposition slows down the story.
