Critic Reviews

Chris Laverty, Clothes on Film
Saturn 3 remains a mere gender curio of the era. It's too rotten to be anything else.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Not one of Donen's best.

This was another late seventies technophobic movie where everyone was firghtened of the future....Great evil robot and cool space based romp.

More fun than anything, it's well worth a watch for Keitel's performance... and the robot's.
