saturn 3 suffers from an identity crisis . to look at the poster you would think it about a killer robot in out space . true . but and if you look closely at the poster you will see that stanley donen direct this . that right and stanley singin in the rain and charade and two for the road donen . intriguing . when we first start the film up we get a shot of the underbelly of a large spacecraft emerge from the top of screen and seeming to be infinitely long a la star war . we then get to see a man body get shatter into a million piece by harvey keitel . cool . then we see kirk douglas and farrah fawcett all lovey dovey with keitel more than a little jealous . eh . keitel then build a robot that be able to relate his thought . cool . no and no it not . saturn 3 be part thriller and part bizarre love triangle and part sci fi but never commits to any part of itself or any genre to be of any interest . the sexual element may have be golden on paper but they do not amount to anything here while there isn not enough scary moment or gore to be entertain to horror fan and and the science fiction element be often so stupid ( how do keitel ship fly through saturn ring and not get smash to bit . ) that it a tough one to sit through . thankfully though and it be quite silly at time with some corny dialogue and overacting by douglas and not to mention some awful dubbing over keitel voice . why do keitel kill the man and come to the planet . why have fawcett never see earth . why do keitel want to build the robot in the first place if all he really want be fawcett . these question be never answer . lastly and back to donen . why him . the original director have to bail out because of illness but they couldn not find a young director to spit this project out . donen be a fine director and should have do more great project why do he feel he need to dumb himself down for this . he couldn not have think the script be any good and could he . only virtues represent the robot be kind of neat and and the set design isn not bad . half out of .
