Two lovers stationed at a remote base in the asteroid fields of Saturn are intruded upon by a retentive technocrat from Earth and a malevolent 8-ft robot. A film full of deep space terror and twisted love, in a man-made Garden of Eden. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

It wasn't great when it was made because Stanley Donen just casually switched from romantic comedies and musicals to sci-fi - his field is simply elsewhere and he doesn't understand the genre's principles. Not that it's a downright bad movie, it's just unengaging and simply boring. I'd rather watch entertaining trash than a dedicated effort that leads nowhere. It could get two stars, but the film's sets have also become outdated, which is typical for films without any impact, so nowadays it's only worth one star and an overall impression of 25%. The only positive aspect is perhaps the charming Fawcett, but she seems more like a decoration.

A star-studded Eurotrash with big budget combining a Frankenstein theme with the biblical story of Adam and Eve. A psychopathic Earth scientist creates a psychopathic robot that disrupts the idyll of two lovers in a research station on Saturn's third moon. Summing up the biggest highlights, we have a weirdly overacting Harvey Keitel with a ponytail as a cold-blooded madman, who at one point fights a completely naked 63-year-old Kirk Douglas. Then there's a horny robot with glowing flashlights for a head, who inherits his creator's sexual fixation with the main character (Charlie's Angels’ Farrah Fawcett), whom he chases around the sprawling, extravagant set. Surprisingly, it's all directed by Stanley Donen, whose credits include the classic musical Singin' in the Rain and the sophisticated comedy Charade. The music was composed by the Oscar-winning Elmer Bernstein. Donen joined the film as director only at the last minute, and the result feels awkward, rushed and in many ways unfinished (some of the more outrageous scenes were cut from the film). One can only imagine how the film would have turned out if its original director, John Barry (not the composer, but the production designer of, for example, Star Wars), for whom Saturn 3 was a dream project, hadn't left after creative disagreements with Douglas. As an curiosity from the 1980s to stave off boredom, though, it's entertaining.

A slightly naive sci-fi flick, now mostly laughable, in which Harvey Keitel acts better than Kirk Douglas (but it's still not great) and Farah Fawcett either looks astonished or screams at the top of her lungs. However, the special effects were successful (I especially liked the Saturn ring flyby) and especially Bernstein's (not very typical for Bernstein) music.

The processing is heavily focused on the robot, but it was successfully managed technically and visually. However, the story is also important here. However, in that environment, the overall sci-fi impression of what is being presented is fading. However, the connection between humans and robots is presented really well here, although it may sound funny at times, certainly not intentionally.
