This movie plays like an episode of the original Star Trek series. It was entertaining and kept me engaged. One thing I will say is that watching some of these old movies from the 50s and 60s, it’s alarming at how handsy and rapey the male roles are in some of them. I just watched Carnival of Souls yesterday and the guy in that one was cringe worthy too. After one of the characters in this was trying to take full advantage of the young woman in this, the commander tells her something along the lines of “you would have been asking for it for dressing the way you did”…I always thought that women were supposed to be treated like ladies and that men behaved like gentlemen in this era, especially in the movies. Maybe it’s this genre. Anyway, it was a decent watch, and I can tell it probably inspired future filmmakers. I know it inspired one of my favorite bands, Monster Magnet. They have a bonus song on some versions of one of their albums called Forbidden Planet, it’s a bunch of spaceship sounds and effects. Some album art of theirs is similar to the movie too.
