Forbidden Planet’s Enduring Impact

1. Forbidden Planet’s Enduring Impact

3. You may not think much of 1950s sci-fi films. The effects were laughable by today’s standards, the budgets of the time were chump change compared to most major box office breakouts of the modern day, and oftentimes even the acting left much to be desired. But this wasn’t always the case, especially when it comes to the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. Rather than bring you a Lightins review, however, the team thought we’d highlight just a few aspects of the film’s enduring legacy. This is part one of a two part post, so be sure to read the follow up! First and foremost, it’s worth mentioning the film’s unofficial legacy. While Forbidden Planet was profitable, and relatively well received by critics, nobody ever expected it to turn into a cultural phenomenon, and it didn’t. That said, through the lens of time, Forbidden Planet has come to be considered as one of the greatest science fiction films of the 1950s, and is considered by many as the precursor of modern sci-fi, particularly in relation to such shows as Star Trek. Also notable, but not official, is the fact that many consider Forbidden Planet to be a successful sci-fi adaptation of Shakespeare. In fact, Forbidden Planet shares many similarities to the play’s storyline, characters, and isolated setting.
