Review of Forbidden Planet (1956) by Tim L — 26 Dec 2010

So glad I finally got to see this Science-Fiction classic. Although kitsch and camp by today's standards, this is a great example of the best of the genre at the time. Many of the ideas and effects that we connect with the original Star Trek series are showcased here for the first time - teleportation.

Quite slowand sober, so it takes a while to get into. But still a lot more entertaining than othe films that have been held in higher regard, such as Space Odessy. Great to see Leslie Nielsen in one of his early serious roles too.
