Koi P @hopep Mar 9 I imagine the book is a fantastic read. See more Axel Z @Axelz Mar 5 Der Film hat mich als Kind sehr fasziniert. Er ist sehr technisch und wenig emotional. Er Spiegelt sehr pragmatisch, bestimmte Denkweisen und den Zeitgeist der frühen Siebziger wieder. Es ist Science-Fiction vom feinsten. Viel Computer Blabla, so wie man sich die Zukunft damals vorgestellt hat. Er ist sehr langatmig, enthält so gut wie keine Action Szenen , man sollte also durchaus ausgeschlafen und fit sein. Die meisten inhaltlichen Sachen fühlen sich plausibel an, bis kurz vor Ende. Das allerdings wirkt ehr als müsste der Film jetzt fertig werden und passt nicht ganz zu dem Rest. Ich denke auch, dass ein remake diesen Film nicht besser machen würde. See more Russ G @RT78760655 Jan 25 The slow pacing is bad enough, but the science is batshit crazy. A "crystal" that can turn energy into matter at will? At room temperature? Yeah, whatever. Two hours of tedium, then an instant, unseen "solution" to the whole crisis - hey, we'll just wash this alien life form into the OCEAN and it'll be gone! Well, at least they didn't impose a nation-wide LOCKDOWN that crippled the economy and cheated kids out of two years of school, so there's that.

See more Tom H @MisterCreosote Dec 17 In 1971, the impact of this movie was epic - there was nothing like it at that time. Unfortunately, people that saw it a generation later can never experience what it was like in 1971. Sort of like the blues of Robert Johnson. This is a sad problem with film. Forbidden Planet I did not see (I'm 73) and while I've watched it a number of times, I can only imagine how revolutionary it was. The most epic example (for me) was Star Wars in 1978. If you did not see it when it came out, you never experienced the staggering effect it had on individuals, culture - the world even. I don't know if anything was so monumental, considering that I saw when they came out Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, Dr. No and the traumatizing Manchurian Candidate.
