Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 10/23/2004
1/4
This movie is awesomely stupid, totally implausible from a scientific viewpoint, and a shameful waste of money. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/08/2024
3/10
The type of production that had immense potential, but just couldn’t figure out a way to make something from its curiously adequate resources. Go to Full Review Kristin Battestella InSession Film 07/25/2023
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. Go to Full Review Serge Daney Cahiers du Cinéma 09/14/2022
[Donen] has not made a good film, certainly, but he has not managed to make an entirely impersonal one, either. Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel 06/28/2022
1.5/5
The film assembles an amazing armada of above-the-line talent for a passionless, murky and uninspired Adam and Eve in space parable. Go to Full Review John Brosnan Starburst 09/25/2019
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ron G Feb 24 yeah. Farah is super cute. but I making this movie was not a good idea for anyone. Static script, poorly directed and at the bottom end of every film making category. See more Mark W 09/19/2024 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. See more Bruce J 02/26/2024 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 See more deke p 02/26/2022 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. See more 02/26/2022 The plot summary makes it sound like a comedy. Maybe it should have been. See more 05/23/2021 It's as bad as I remember it all these years later. See more Read all reviews
