While not of the same quality as MGM’s 1950s landmark ‘Forbidden Planet’, ‘Atlantis’ was a spectacular film, and influenced a lot of 1960s science fiction, including some of the ‘gods in space’ in Star Trek TOS. Some of the set designs seem resonant too. Worth tracking down and watching.
I’ve never seen Atlantis, but I’ll have to look it up. That first image does look right out of TOS! Kirk and McCoy could walk into that room and not look out of place at all.
