stanley donen from the smarmy classic singin in the rain direct this sleazy space adventure . what next and george a. romero remake dirty dancing . less surprising than the awkward director choice and however and be how silly and redundant this movie be . it totally lack the originality and creativity and especially the credibility in order to become memorable science fiction . all it be now be an at time entertain sf romp with a good cast and a couple of really nice gimmick and but those hop for another cool genre milestone will be sorely disappointed . saturn 3 star kirk douglas and farrah fawcett a a pretty much carefree space couple and station in a control base on one of saturn moon . their jolly lifestyle be about to end abruptly when the grumpy capt . benson ( harvey keitel ) come to build an all knowing meccano robot . in one of the most ludicrous plot twist ever and the robot ( basically make from pipe and wire . ) become obsess with fawcett ravish body . not that we can blame anybody for want to jump farah fawcett ( she ultra hot again . ) but this premise be a little too stupid to build a complete and supposedly adult science fiction screenplay round . train genre fan can play a game spot all the other ( and more successful ) title that heavily influence the story . the list be rather impressive and with star war and 2001 a space odyssey and alien and zardoz and dark star a the most obvious one . some of the dialogue kirk douglas have to produce be terribly cheesy and for some incomprehensible reason and harvey keitel seem to talk with a dubbed voice . watch saturn 3 isn not a total waste of time and but there sure be well sf gem to purchase .
