Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

This movie is awesomely stupid, totally implausible from a scientific viewpoint, and a shameful waste of money.

Rated: 1/4

InSession Film

Though flawed in not focusing on the taut science fiction triangle; references to Hector, Troy, and the original fight over a woman accent the man versus man, man versus nature, and man versus himself conflicts.

Cahiers du Cinéma

[Donen] has not made a good film, certainly, but he has not managed to make an entirely impersonal one, either.

The film assembles an amazing armada of above-the-line talent for a passionless, murky and uninspired Adam and Eve in space parable.

Rated: 1.5/5

For all its flaws -- and most of the flaws involve the cast -- and the fact that we're seeing a shortened version of the original movie, Saturn 3 is still something of a major achievement.

It's easy to see why Saturn 3 has achieved a certain type of cult appeal over the years- it has an incredible cast, an interesting killer robot running amok, some cool ideas, and a beautiful score by famed composer Elmer Bernstein.

Rated: 3/5

Good visuals and story make this a reasonable watch. The actors are woefully miscast, especially Kirk Douglas. Better than I expected but not one to rewatch.

In the 80's it was a must watch to sneak a peek of FF. Sad to see Kirk Douglas make such a "B" movie. It is good for a lazy watch on a snowy Afternoon. It passed the time

Farrah wears lots of thin/sheer outfits in this....and that is the only good thing I can possibly say. Everything about this is WELL below average, even for the time.

big 3 cast. Interesting Rogue Robot & threat of A.i. threatening human space ship crew. in Space container. But the 1980s style doesn't age well 42 years later. Giving generous 3 1/2 stars cuz too disparaged by 2022 standards if CGI, etc) . Never saw before 2.26.2022 TV The Movie Channel.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The plot summary makes it sound like a comedy. Maybe it should have been.
