In the year 2257, and Altair 4, a distant colony, has three inhabitants; Professor Morbius, his bewitching daughter, and a dutiful robot, named Robby, who speaks 188 languages. When a space cruiser from Earth lands on the planet a deadly secret is revealed that could spell doom for all on the planet...
Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is transformed into this landmark science-fiction film, which featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all-electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own!

Forbidden Planet is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.
It's up there with 2001, Star Wars and Blade Runner.
Don't wait for it to come on TV, get this special edition DVD, it's fantastic.
Forbidden Planet - Forbidden French subtitles...

The film is a high sci-fi classic, perhaps de best of all...
But I was a little bit disappointed because there is no french subtitles, I understand english in general but in this movie the dialogs are so important that the subtitles give at the movie more understanding.
So please at Play.com, verify the content of this DVD because I bought it and I was a little bit sad of the absence of the french subtitles... Apart that Play.com still for me the best website where to buy good DVDs at bargain price!
