Stand Up Cinema September: Forbidden Planet
Price:
£5 – or a whole year’s membership for only £10
Forbidden Planet (Fred M. Wilcox, 1956). A starship crew goes to investigate the silence of a planet’s colony only to find two survivors and a deadly secret. There’s some slightly retro sexual politics, but this is the quintessential space movie - reputedly the film that inspired Gene Rodenberry to create Star Trek. A reworking of The Tempest, Shakespeare’s ‘New World’ here harbours the creature from the id as well as the prototype of Robby The Robot from Lost In Space.
