	Forbidden Planet
		Forbidden Planet was another 1950's science fiction box office success, containing a mixture of technological paranoia (computers and technology ultimately destroyed the galaxy's most advanced race) and optimism (space flight is ubiquitous, mankind is flourishing, and Robby the Robot is every housewife's dream come true).
		At the end of the film, the planet of Altair IV is destroyed, along with all of its high technology.
		Its neverending energy source is the core of the planet, and it has been running for thousands of years.

		Sinning in Forbidden Planet's Krell cyberspace - the spiritism counseled against in Deuteronomy 10:10-12, Galatians 5:19-21 and Revelation 21:8 -- was fatal: "Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed." (James 1:14-15).
		Forbidden Planet ought to be apprehended as an impressive mene-tekel warning: our self-created near-term future VR must be used selectively so that unhealthy appetites are not promoted in Homo sapiens (Daniel 5:25-28).

		It's digitally transferred and is a "deluxe remastered edition." In the year 2257 on the planet Altair-IV, Professor Morbius, "a fugitive superscientist," lives with his daughter Altaira, and Robby the Robot.
		Now, you and I know from that movie, that Bill can work kung fu fights into his stories and it will be clear from this movie that he is equally adept at working in flying saucers, spacemen in grody uniforms, and giant robots into his stories.
		All this communicating is going to take some time and keep the crew and Adams on the planet awhile, so Morbius offers Robby's assistance to help them build their big space cell phone.

	The DVD Journal: Forbidden Planet
		On the planet, Adams and his crew are met not by Morbius, but by cinema's most iconic mechanical manservant, a robot "monitored to respond to the name Robby." A useful tool as well as a loyal Jeeves, Robby charms right from the get-go.
		Forbidden Planet was a product of 1956, so it can't help but reflect mainstream American values and sensibilities of the time.

	Forbidden Planet (1956)
		Dr Morbius shows them the marvels of the Krell, the race that once inhabited the planet - colossal energy wells stretching to the planet's core and a mind-boosting device that has enabled him to understand their devices and build an all-purpose robot Robbie as his servant.
		Altaira, who has never met another man, proves temptation too hard to resist for the crewmen who try to educate her as to what a kiss is. But then at night an invisible energy field enters the ship, destroying equipment and killing men.
		Other 1950s films like Riders to the Stars (1954), The Quatermass Xperiment/The Creeping Unknown (1955) and The Angry Red Planet (1959) all come undercut with the sense that any venture out into other worlds comes at too high a human cost or is entering into a realm that humanity is better off not venturing into.

		He had been reconstructing the history, and some of the minor technologies (such as Robby) of the Krell, the planet's native race, who had all died in one mysterious night of total destruction, a quarter of a million years before.
		Things get interesting for the captain when he meets Morbius' beautiful but extremely naive daughter Altaira (Anne Francis); now nineteen years old, she is very curious about human relations, and the captain, establishing the tradition so avidly followed by James T. Kirk, enlightens her on some aspects of this.

		Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is transposed to the stars, with the island becoming a planet.
		Except, the planet is possibly, probably dangerous, as the extinct former inhabitants aren't so extinct after all, or have very strong ghosts.

		In 1956, the last flickering hope for the eventual colonization of Venus died when the planetary surface temperature was measured, via emitted microwaves, to far exceed the boiling point of water.
		Of course Bellerophon, in an ominous bit of foreshadowing, was the Corinthian hero in Greek mythology who defeated the chimera with Pegasus, only to dramatically prove that humans are not gods as he plunged to his death trying to reach Mount Olympus.
		Like a forbidden fruit, the Forbidden Planet contained knowledge and technology that far surpassed human responsibility (or Krell responsibility, as they too were destroyed by their own devices), providing a not-so-subtle societal warning about the instability of human nature, especially in regards to destructive technology.

		Forbidden Planet is inspirational, in my opinion, because it presents an well developed and thought out story above and beyond the usual `scary alien' fare we saw in the early 50's.
		To occupy his time, he studies the vanished civilization that one lived on the planet and builds miraculous devices such as the robot.
		Please remember that "Forbidden Planet" is from 1956 and so understandably has dated aspects, like the sound effects, small portions of goofy dialogue, etc. Regardless, it must be HAILED as the honored blueprint for numerous sci-fi films and TV series to come.
