DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with optional potluck refreshments and social hour at 
  6:30 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after 
 the film.\n\nFORBIDDEN PLANET\nby Fred M. Wilcox\n\nFifty years after its 
 theatrical release, this amazing film still ranks as one of the greatest 
 sci-fi movies ever made  Not until Stanley Kubrick’s "2001: A Space 
 Odyssey" was another science fiction film to approach its intelligence and 
 depth and take such a thought-provoking approach to the human 
 condition.\n\nInspired by Shakespeare’s "The Tempest," "Forbidden Planet" 
 is the story of an intrepid crew from the “United Planets” sent to 
 investigate the fate of the Bellerophon, a ship that landed on the fourth 
 planet of the star Altair twenty years before.  They find the only 
 survivors, the scientist Morbius and his beautiful daughter Altaira.  In an 
 eden-like setting, the scientist has been uncovering the remains and the 
 secrets of a once-great society, the Krell, who flourished on the planet 
 eons in the past.  Morbius explains that the Bellerophon settlers were 
 hideously murdered by a unseen monster.  Only he and his family remained 
 unaffected, and the ship itself was vaporized as the last settlers 
 attempted to escape. He spent two decades exploring the vast spaces of the 
 Krell’s mysterious underground power plant, and boosting his lowly human 
 IQ to half the level of the Krells.\n\n"Forbidden Planet" is the first film 
 in which humans are depicted traveling in a flying saucer of their own 
 construction.  And it ‘s the first science fiction film set on an alien 
 world in deep space, far away from the Earth and its solar system. This 
 film hallmarks the first film appearance of Robby the Robot, probably one 
 of the most popular, recognizable, and enduring icons in science fiction 
 film history.  Robbie is one of the first movie robots with a genuine 
 personality — he  is more than just a tin can.\n\nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n
