Am I Missing Something?

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Griff Lees
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

From legendary B-movie producer Roger Corman, Forbidden World is a cheap, cheesy and sleazy Alien rip-off that makes up for its low production values by chucking in as much gloopy gore and female nudity as possible.The film opens with intergalactic trouble-shooter Mike (Jesse Vint) being woken from cryogenic sleep by his loyal robot SAM-104 (who looks like a bargain basement stormtrooper) to help defend against an enemy attack; after a terrible space dog-fight that makes use of footage from Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), a victorious Mike receives orders to visit the planet Xarbia, where there has been an accident in a high security laboratory.On arrival, Mike is told that the result of a genetic experiment is on the loose, the creature continuously mutating as it grows. The bigger it gets, the meaner and more ravenous it becomes, with humans on the menu.The directorial debut of film editor Allan Holzman, Forbidden World is tacky and tasteless trash that doesn't have any pretensions: it's aim is to please its target audience of B-movie fans, and that it most certainly does. Once Mike has set foot on Xarbia, its non-stop gooey effects and gratuitous T&A from the lab's two female scientists (played by June Chadwick and Dawn Dunlap), both of whom have rocking bodies and absolutely no qualms about getting naked.After a whole load of messy gore (the victims slowly turning into a mushy mess), some nookie, and the welcome sight of Chadwick and Dunlap in the shower together, the film ends in splattery style with Mike having to remove a cancerous tumour from a fully conscious man without anaesthetic in order to feed the growth to the monster. Now that, my friend, is entertainment!7.5 out of 10, rounded down to 7 for Holzman's occasional use of rapid-fire editing, which made my eyes and brain hurt.

The Federation agent Mike Colby (Jesse Vint) is sent to the remote planet Xarbia to attend the call of scientists. Mike learns that the lethal genetic experiment Subject 20 that was created by the scientists has become dangerous. Mike wants to terminate Subject 20, but the responsible for the facility, Dr. Gordon Hauser (Linden Chiles), is reluctant to destroy the experiment. However, when Subject 20 gets loose from his cage, he begins to kill the personal of the facility.
"Forbidden World" is a cult-trash produced by Roger Corman using the success of the 1979 "Alien". The hot Dawn Dunlap and June Chadwick make the difference and worthwhile watching this gore, gross and erotic low-budget film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Galáxia Proibida" ("Forbidden World")

I love Roger Corman's movies they are my favorite Sci-fi trash movies,with a beauty girls on cast,yes it's a rip off Alien,but who cares,the good things are to be copied of course and this enjoyable movie has all ellements to hold you until the end, a bit bloody to my taste indeed,but has a several sexy scenes in the station with gorgeous Dawn Dunlap and June Chadwick, a nice view of the heaven that pay every cent which l'd spent to get the DVD,gore and nasty in most of time it's amused me all the time.....thanks Corman for your holy existence!!Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6

The always engaging Jesse Vint plays Mike Colby, an intergalactic troubleshooter who's called into service on a remote planet. It seems that the scientists there have let their big genetic experiment get out of control. Now there's a continuously evolving life form on the loose in their station, one that does hideous things to human bodies in order to digest them. The head scientist, Gordon Hauser (TV veteran Linden Chiles, 'James at 15'), doesn't want the truth about the species' origins to be known, which doesn't help matters. Ultimately, it's Dr. Cal Timbergen (notably eccentric character actor Fox Harris, "Repo Man") who will prove to be far more helpful.Of course, one can hardly fail to notice that Mike and the others don't seem too concerned at first about the creatures' whereabouts. Mike's far more interested in hooking up with *both* of the hottie ladies at this station: Dr. Barbara Glaser (foxy blonde June Chadwick, "This is Spinal Tap") and Tracy Baxter (sultry brunette Dawn Dunlap, "Laura" '79). The two ladies even have an enticing scene with each other!Director / editor Allan Holzman ("Grunt! The Wrestling Movie") does a decent job working in confined quarters; genre buffs will know that this typically cheap Roger Corman production re-uses sets from "Galaxy of Terror" as well as special effects shots from "Battle Beyond the Stars". The cheese and trash levels are pretty much off the charts here, as you can tell from the previous paragraph. For a movie obviously designed to get a little more use out of previously existing elements, this *is* pretty entertaining, especially in the directors' cut with its use of classical music and comedic moments. The score by Susan Justin (who was Mrs. Holzman in real life) is quite amusing.The studly Vint is well supported by Chadwick, Harris, Chiles, Ray Oliver ("Child's Play"), Scott Paulin ("Cat People" '82), and Michael Bowen ("Jackie Brown"). Dunlap looks great but really isn't much of an actress. Don Olivera, who did the crude but enjoyable makeup and creature effects along with John Carl Buechler ("Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood"), plays the role of the robot SAM-104.Highly recommended to folks who appreciate the sleazier and cheesier side of B level genre cinema.Seven out of 10.
