Thank you for reporting but, I just downloaded/checked mp4, here is a screenshot of this movie title, https://i.imgur.com/zacKSUa.jpeg And your title is not listed on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/releaseinfo/ Also, no such title on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet I think you might of confused this movie with "2001: Space Odyssey (1968)".
I think they meant that it’s the storyline of Homer’s The Odyssey, but it takes place in space. I just looked into it, and I saw on Wikipedia that the characters and plot have been compared to Shakespeare’s The Tempest, “leading many to consider it a loose adaptation.”
In any case, thanks for posting this! I’ll have to add it to my watch list!
Ah, yea, The Tempest is a better match! (My memory jumbled it all up, thanks for the correction).
Oh I see now, thank you.
