It’s a sign of low creativity in our culture that Star Trek and Star Wars are still so prominent and people are still trying to make a buck off them and make more sequels instead of replacing them with something new.
...
And IMO, Star Trek was derived from Forbidden Planet. Star Wars was derived from various movies. That’s just the way it’s usually done.
Agree. I saw a great deal of stuff in Star Trek that Forbidden planet did first.
Forbidden planet was an awesome movie, and they should have made some sequels. It was a better "Star Trek" than was the real Star Trek.
