Saturn 3 (1980)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

So much average

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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

Before there was "The Terminator", and after "Alien" a year earlier, there's "Saturn 3". Saturn is the 6th planet in the Solar System. The second biggest planet. And has a lot of moons there. On Saturn 3, two scientists Adam(Kirk Douglas) and his lover and partner Alex(Farrah Fawcett, 1947-2009) are living there because Earth is very much overcrowded over the years. Their bliss is interrupted by the presence of Captain Benson(Harvey Keitel) who appeared at the station with a replacement robot named Hector. Unbeknownst to the two, but Captain Benson has murdered a colleague at a station. So when he used a neural link, Hector sensed his tendency to kill. So when Hector tried to kill Alex, he was dismantled. However, he was able to control the other robots to have him reassembled. Then more chaos comes in. I liked it when Alex had that lab accident, and Hector was able to remove the particle from her eye. I know that Farrah was known for her hair. She was also known for her eyes. It was a decent sci-fi/horror film. And that Hector was a very menacing character. It was a fine film. 3 out of 5 stars

Saturn 3 is a sci fi thriller about a robot that goes insane. The film succeeds on its cinematography, the robot, some of its violent content and story. I was, however, disappointed with films approach of being isolated with limited amount of characters. I would of preferred a higher body count. But oh well. I guess I'll wack it to Aliens. At least more people die in that movie. To conclude: Saturn 3 is nothing special but it's a fun space age thriller.

This film isn't as bad as some people would have you to believe.Unfortunately, It isn't very good either. That is one of it's problems. If it had been a little worse than it ended up it might have been better in a more incredulous, but more memorable, way. You can see it wants to be either Demon Seed' or 'Alien' but comes close to neither or even a parody of them (which could have worked). Unfortunately, it is not imaginative enough to be the former or frightening enough to be the latter. The films performers are left floundering.As ever Kirk Douglas is over the top. This time in a sort of Action Grandad role which I presume he thought would show him (at 62 years old)still capable of playing energetic, love interest, leads. Unfortunately, the part isn't meaty enough to let him give his full throttle Kirk Douglas macho-man big screen shtick. Meanwhile Farah Fawcett is wasted. Yes, of course, she's good to look at, and although never a great actress, FF does, often, have a notable presence. This time she is just decoration given baby doll nighties and bra-less t-shirts to wear. Rather than being a main protagonist with a distinct character she is mainly just good to look at. I didn't really care what happened to her except, perhaps, that I'd miss the occasional flash of flesh . The biggest puzzle is why did Harvey Keitel agree to this? He does his best to keep the role believable but fails and once again a worse performance, or a worse actor, in the role may have helped make the film better by making the part more extraordinary but Keitel does just enough in the part to give it any credence but can't make it memorable.These are major flaws and Saturn 3 is therefore a film that you would only watch either because you like the actors and watch them in any roles or just fancy a bit of science fiction whimsy that won't task your brain to heavily. Perhaps, it is a film that needs a big budget remake. It could work!

By most metrics, this is a bad, bad movie. The plot is simple and predictable, the acting is bland and terrible, the action is boring, the special effects are bad (one guy explodes into a bunch of ceramic), the voices are dubbed, and badly, plus Harvey Keitel is dubbed over by someone else (like wtf), and all the characters are one-dimensional. I only found this movie because of references in MST3K, "Somethings wrong on Saturn 3," which ought to say a lot in itself, and could have been riffed on that show if not for the violence.BUUUT, whats good about the movie is more meta than the specifics, like they had a cool idea but failed on the actually making a movie part. Good movies are usually best understood when trying to imagine the vague thoughts of the creator(s) that caused them to make the movie in the first place. It's all about Benson, and how he, and the society he represents, are essentially Hector, a robot made horrible by it's blood tubes and a disembodied brain. These people think they can be pure and efficient and productive, but all that pesky human stuff can't be suppressed and ends up becoming horribly warped.
