A "science fiction" movie or story , should not be judged, solely on the merits of its "special effects", if it was the case then "Fantastic Four 2005" would qualify as one of the best movies ever!By the virtue of "science" combined by "fiction", a movie or story should take us to a parallel world , so believable and so fantastic ( not just fantastic and Unbelievable ) that should give us food for thought ! This is where "Forbidden Planet " (badly named) excels.
Planet Altair 4 is believable, so are ex-habitants the Krell.
Dr. Morbious, is very passionate about his discovery , its magnitude and implications of its release to Earth, yet he is blinded to the reasons to Krells ultimate demise ! Why ? he does not want to believe the truth! that he has opened the Pandora's box ! and he is to blame ...
Decades ahead of its time, with wonderful special effects by Disney Studios ! A serious piece of Sci-Fi ....

This is one of those true sci-fi classics featuring robby the robot. Walter Piegon plays the part of a scientist that is on this planet that was once inhabited by aliens that had disappeared without a trace but leaving behind this self repairing complex machinery. After many years he still cannot explain the disappearance of the aliens. When the arrival of the earth spaceship triggers something that begins to kill the crew of the spaceship the mystery begins to unravel.
