In this sci-fi classic, a spacecraft travels to the distant planet Altair IV to discover the fate of a group of scientists sent there decades earlier. When Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew arrive, they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter, Altaira (Anne Francis), who was born on the remote planet.

Is it just me or does £3.99 seem expensive still for older movies? Not knocking the deal as it’s a low price for the movie. But I would expect this at £1.99. Maybe I want too much. (edited)

This is one of the best Sci-Fi films of all time. The effects used in this film are vastly ahead of their time. Such a brilliant film. Although my main gripe is you don't actually own this film, you are just paying for the convenience of being able to stream it until that facility is removed.

Still have mine (which had dvd iirc). There's also a bluray which has absolute tons of extras...that the the digital version probably won't have included. (edited)
