I can confirm that the reviews are real! I was one of those unfortunate people that misplaced password and have been lock out of a wallet for almost 10 years! Must have tried over 5,000 attempts over the years just hoping. Then I found KeycheinX! The team is truly amazing and I am forever grateful that they were able to recover ALL my funds. Do not waste another second, this team is the absolute best! I wish I could give 10 stars.

Kids will love Robbie the Robot, and enjoy the Monster from the Id. Adults will enjoy the intelligent script and the Freudian undertones. Sci Fi fans will love the nods to golden age hard science fiction, such as Robbie following Isaac Asimov's laws of a good robot. The film had a very 50s retro futuristic look. It's all flying saucers, vacuum tubes, and relays. So it looks like a very good version of the pulp 50s sci fi films, although the story and script are light years ahead of that. It's also the first film to have a fully synthetic score (called electric tonalities in the credits due to the creators - Louis and Bebe Barron- not being signed up to the musicians' union). The soundtrack is so influential that to this day microtonal synthesizer music is often called Krell music (named after the aliens in Forbidden Planet). It's a very clever film which gives the audience's intelligence the benefit of the doubt. The atmosphere is amazing with a building dread, and a beautifully realised and ominous world. It's one if the first films to show humans reaching the stars, and to have benevolent aliens in a era where aliens were just monsters. And it does have a monster as well, one if the best too. What it does best is leaving things to your imagination. You're left with the mystery of the Krell - aliens that you never see. In that respect it's like 2001: A Space Odyssey - only the aliens a d storyin Forbidden Planet makes perfect sense, whilst it doesn't in 2001. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Ken K I just rewatched it and was struck by how well the technolgy and sets stand up. In many ways they are the underlying centerpiece of the film. One can see how Star Trek literally stiole from this. As I watched the first encounter with the "id", I went back to seeing it in a theater and how powerful and frightening a scene it is. Pidgeon is quite a presence and Francis just explodes the sexuality off the screen. Where I don't give it 5 stars is how poorly the script is for the crew, the romantic relationship, and how stiff and wooden Nielson is. But still one of the most influential scifi films of all times. Years ahead of everyone else. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review alan g Shakepeare would not recognize this adaptation. Sci fi classic? No, but still good. Stiff acting. Good special effects for the time period. Evil robot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
