Good movie bit it needs a 21st century remake with all of the high definition equipment we have today. Throw in an all-star cast with Katy Perry as the lead and we are in business.

The actors in the original were mediocre, at best. This is understandable as they did not have an A-list budget in 1956. Now, armed with money and all of that that The Powers That Be have and this could be remarkable,. Right now it is just "that old movie with 'what's his face' in it."

The effects in "Forbidden Planet" are excellent by the standards of any time, and better than most today. CGI often looks like a video game.

"Forbidden Planet" was the biggest-budget science fiction movie of its time.
The actors were all perfect in their roles.
The special effects were extraordinary, far superior to CGI.

There is no reason to remake this movie.
