Yes. Even 60 years after its initial release, Forbidden Planet still remains, today, one of the most ambitious and intelligent Sci-Fi films of all-time. (Well, sort of.... ) Set in the year 2200, Forbidden Planet's impressive visual-effects may be tame when compared by today's standards, but its story still remains quite interesting, though a bit on the slow-paced side. It really killed me when the all-male, space-cruiser team from Earth first landed on planet Altair-4, and one of these dudes, taking a real good look at Robby, the robot, wondered out loud if this mechanical being was, in fact, male or female... Duh!.. I guess this boy (and his libido) had been cooped up with his macho-man comrades for far too long. All-in-all, Forbidden Planet is a true gem-of-a-classic. (Watch video trailer)
