Forbidden Planet  — 4K UHD 09/01/26

Robby the Robot is back, this time in 4K. Arrow Video’s 4K restoration brings back the full early width of CinemaScope, along with a re-created Perspecta Stereo sound mix. Hollywood’s one full-out attempt to depict an intergalactic Sci-fi future is a smashing success that relies on complex ideas as well as spaceships and monsters. It’s also a warning fable about runaway technology — are We Humans going to repeat the mistakes of The Krell?  Leslie Nielsen and Anne Francis shine, the visual effects dazzle behind Bebe and Louis Barron’s electronic ‘tonalities.’ On 4K Ultra HD from Arrow Video.
