Robotic love by Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth)  3 Stars
June 26, 2009
Stanley Donen took over the directorial reins of SATURN 3 from John Barry. This odd British-made sci-fi thriller featured Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel, whose voice was dubbed by Roy Dotrice.
Here, Farrah and Kirk are lovers outposted together on one of Saturn's moons. Their mission in this artificial Garden of Eden is to grow food for a home planet racked by famine. The couple's idyll is interrupted by the arrival of Keitel-- a pschopath masquerading as a techno-geek who says he's relieving them of their duties.
Instead, Harvey assembles brought-along components into an 8-foot tall automaton. Keitel's boy "Hector" is as crazy as he is because the two are linked via a transmitter tapped into Harvey's brain. When his "clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk" gets a 'tin-ie' for Farrah, it goes berserk.
Suggested item:
Stanley Donen's directorial effort just prior to "Saturn 3" was MOVIE MOVIE (1978). The cast in this parody of two 1930s genres (boxing and musicals) includes George C. Scott, Red Buttons, Eli Wallach, Art Carney, Barry Bostwick, George Burns and Jocelyn Brando (Marlon's older sister). (VHS only)
Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 viewer poll rating found at a film resource website.
(4.4) Saturn 3 (UK-1980) - Farah Fawcett/Kirk Douglas/Harvey Keitel/Ed Bishop/Douglas Lambert/Christopher Muncke/Roy Dotrice (voice)

Great Find, Great Seller by KBell (Ohio, USA)  5 Stars
June 09, 2009
I purchased a used DVD movie, Saturn 3, which was discontinued a long time ago. I received immediate order acknowledgement and shipping confirmation from the seller. It arrived as expected a few days later. It was packaged for shipment as if it was a glass heirloom, very well protected. The DVD, inserts, and packaging were exactly as represented. Although I haven't taken time to watch the movie yet, I am very pleased with the purchase. After closely inspecting the DVD, I have no doubt the movie will play flawlessly. Very happy!

Great 70s sci fi by M. L. Huffman (Maryland) 5 Stars
June 02, 2009
This was a lot of fun. It follows in the Logan's Run and Outlander traditions of giving its own version of the future. Be careful of coming in with expectations. Just see it on its own and I think you will agree there is enormous character development of all three main characters. There is also interesting conflict set up: both luv the same babe! And, yes, you get to see Farah buck neck-id!

Cheeze Puffs Nostalgia! by Sandro Rodriguez 5 Stars
January 08, 2008
LOL!
I remember sneaking into the theater to watch this movie when I was about 6 years old!
This was the movie that got me hooked on the Sci-fi genre, and later on the Alien - Predator saga.
The moment I saw this old cheese ball had gone DVD, I just had to buy it for memories sake! I hadn't seen this movie for about 23 years!, yet I still remembered much of it!
If you're a fan of Sci-Fi, the Aliens, Terminator and Predator Mythos, you should definitely check out this classic!
Just be sure to watch it with a light heart, and don't be too demanding and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

If you can stifle the urge to laugh at its pastel unisex costumes and futuristic shopping-mall décor, this extravagant science fiction film from 1976 is still visually fascinating and provocatively entertaining. Set in the year 2274, when ecological disaster has driven civilization to the protection of domed cities, the story revolves around a society that holds a ceremonial death ritual for all citizens who reach the age of 30. In a diseaseless city where free sex is encouraged and old age is...

In a "riveting performance" (The Hollywood Reporter) that stunned critics and audiences alike, Farrah Fawcett is the heart and soul of this "edge-of-your-seat suspense drama" (The Film Journal) about a woman who turns the tables on a would-be rapist. Nominated* for a Golden Globe, Fawcett "is genuine, pathetic and heroic here" (Los Angeles Times) and her "unadorned artistry singes" (Time)!
