Forbidden Planet

56Watch it awake.

Older kids can have the robot, but a parent will notice how the daughter is dressed.

The review

Robby is the souvenir, and that is the trap if you stop there. A ship visits a distant world where a scientist and his daughter are the survivors of a colony. A monster attacks. The monster is the scientist's own mind, enlarged by a machine. I followed it without a lecture, and I liked that the horror belonged to the man who had the power.

The daughter is costumed for the audience. A parent will notice. Older children, not the little ones. The crew has a job and the idea has a point, and the film still sets a girl out to be looked at. People kept the robot. I kept a mind too big for its own restraint. If the kids want the toy, say whose brain the machine turned loose before you go shopping.

The glance

Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

64 instead of 56

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is still a science fiction film, and it scores 64 instead of 56. What you gain is stewardship: What is not his, he returns.

Avatar: The Way of Water

56Watch it awake.

The warning is the same as the first film. The water is not a warehouse either.

The review

The first film said a forest is not inventory. This one moves the same sentence underwater, and the sentence is still true. Jake's trouble is that the war he joined has children now, and a father who made himself a weapon does not get to retire from it when the next boat comes.

The spectacle is the product. Stay for the father who would rather the children learn the reef than learn his war, and notice the film cannot help spending them on the war anyway. Take the warning. Do not take the three hours of fire as the point.

Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

68 instead of 56
