The Krell develop a technology for artificially boosting intelligence that's powered by an unlimited energy source but fail to realize that their achievements have outpaced their more primitive mental abilities to control them. In the end, their very own "Monsters from the ID" doom their entire race.
Could we now be on the verge of following the Krell into oblivion? |
After seeing your post, we watched Forbidden Planet last night. Once you tune yourself into watching a 70 year old movie and ignore the hokeyness of it (why did they bring a wrecker truck with them?), it's well done and you can see how it really started the sci-fi genre.
