If you are a fan of "Forbidden Planet" (or just science fiction movies in general) and own a Blu-ray player, then you must get this disc! Picture quality is superb, especially considering the film is over 50 years old. There are a number of special features, including another complete feature film, "The Invisible Boy", featuring Robby the Robot. However, all the special features are presented in standard definition, not HD. But that is fairly minor, considering that the main attraction is presented in stunning Hi-Def! If you haven't seen "Forbidden Planet before, then you're in for a real treat-- and you'll get a kick out of seeing the film that influenced "Star Trek" and many other science fiction movies and TV series!
