Forbidden Planet / Logan's Run / The Island

THE ISLAND: Lincoln Six-Echo is running for his life - a life he knows little about except for two things. One: Authorities at the tightly controlled facility that sheltered him said he would someday live in the paradise that is Earth's last inhabitable place. Two: It was all a lie. Ewan McGregor is Lincoln Six-Echo and Scarlet Johansson is Jordan Two-Delta, scrambling to elude deadly pursuers in an outside world they've never before experienced. Michael Bay directs, delivering high tech excitement as he peels back layers of mystery surrounding the fugitives. The sights dazzle. The pace thrills. The story, set in 2019, probes a jolting, palpably real future shock. "You've been chosen. The island awaits you".
LOGAN'S RUN: Based on the 1976 science-fiction movie of a hedonistic society living in a huge bubble and taking for granted there is no life outside of it. FORBIDDEN PLANET: A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair provides astonishing evidence of a populace a million years more advanced than Earthlings. There are many wonders on Altair-4, but none is greater or more deadly than the human mind. Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen portrays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied Altair-4 world that's home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), the remarkable Robby...and to a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all-electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.
