About this product

Product Information

Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST is transformed in this landmark science-fiction film. Spacemen travel to a planet ruled by Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), who has built a kingdom with his daughter and obedient robot Robby. The good doctor is plagued by his mad quest for knowledge through his "brain booster" machine, and by Freudian "monsters from the id" as his daughter discovers other men and learns to kiss.

    home movie theater

    I have a home theater and even the sound was breath taking. My screen is over 105 diagonal with a runco crt projector. Color and clarity outstanding. I am a retired I.a.t.s.e. projectionist and ran this film many years ago in the theaters.

  • Top critical review

    Great classic, almost perfect DVD.

    The DVD was Brand New, Unopened as promised and plays wonderfully. However, for some reason, the sound volume is very low. I have to turn the volume of my television set up to almost 70% of max to clearly hear it. I know this is not a machine (my tv) issue as its the only video that I have had this happen with, other wise I have no issues with this movie.

  • A CLASSIC!

    A great movie! One of the best sci-fi movies ever. Many of the ideas and SFX used were brand-new, and re-used in hundreds of movies over the past sixty years. Good underlying story, a bit of comedy, and interesting characters.

  • First Good Sci Fi Movie IN COLOR!!

    Leslie Nielsen in a serious role. Robey the Robot was made for this movie. First real looking robot ever made for a movie. The C-57D Saucer was a nice spaceship. Must see for all sci fi fans

  • Classic Sci-Fi Entertainment

    Very early sci-fi with great special effects for the time while also being a psychological thriller at the same time. The introduction of Robby the Robot is my all time favorite.

  • the original film Syfy

    This is my favorite film. The Story is based on the Tempest by William Shakespeare. Robby the Robot is a pop icon, and this film was the precursor to Star Trek and other TV sci-fi to follow. Excellent!
