... the Star Trek transporters was invented because the TV
production company didn't have enough budget to do a "space ship landing"
special effect.


Could have sworn I saw Star Trek like transporters in Forbidden Planet
(or is my memory playing tricks on me?)


Er... no, but you saw something that looked like the transporter...kinda.



Note that the subsequent scene showing the landing was a really neat
"space ship landing." A most amazing film.
