Summary: How wonderful they put this on DVD!
Review: This is a classic sci-fi film that is largely overlooked. But it has been looked upon enough to make the decision of putting it on DVD and this is wonderful! Now this treasure will be preserved longer.The plot is about a planet called Saturn 3 where two scientists live to conduct research. Their research is a little behind schedule so another scientist gets sent down to help out a little with some new technology. Unfortunatley, the scientist that is supposed to go down gets ambushed and replaced by a crazy guy with some devious plans in mind. He takes down a robot that learns by a wireless link between itself and an actual human brain. Since it is hooked up to and is learning from the mad scientist it goes a little haywire. It gains the obsession of the female scientist that it's teacher has as well. See the robot go crazy and watch the scientists run for their lives and try and escape from the desolate Saturn 3! I love this movie! I give it 4 star because it loses one star for going at a slow pace. Yes, this movie does move slow; but it is fun to watch and has a totally cool story. B-Movie Classic!!

Summary: See it just to look at Farrah
Review: This is not much of movie but it came at the height of Farrah mania and she is at her most beautiful in it. Being that not much happens for most of the movie you are not distracted from staring at her, which is really all I wanted to do. She wears somewhat revealing outfits and is topless for a few seconds. That is the absolute highlight of the movie. You might call it a waste of time but I love the tape.

Summary: An early Terminator
Review: This is probably one of the most neglected ScFi flicks ever made. Despite a stellar cast, it was largely ignored when it was released in 1980. What interests me now is that the film seems to have influenced James Cameron on both Terminator and Aliens. In fact several scenes are very similar. The destruction of the Psychotic robot Hector and the scene where the soldier from the future blows up the Terminator are very similar. In Saturn 3 the robot chases the two main characters around trying to catch them through the floor grate. That seems very similar to several scenes in Aliens. I've never seen any comment by Cameron that this film influenced him, but it seems hard to miss. Even if you are not interested in the connection to Terminator or Aliens, this is worth getting. The reproduction to this DVD is excellent. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that it is a bit slow at times and, other than Harvey Keitel, the acting is a bit. . .well, not up to either the standards of Kirk Douglas or Farrah Fawcett. I'm not being snide either, I consider both excellent actors.

Summary: 1hour and 27min of my life ill never get back
Review: This movie had all the appeal of watching my dog pinch a loaf on my lawn, actually that is more entertaining. The high point in the film was the actual construction of the robot, everything before and after was a total waste of money and time. What were Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett getting paid to do other than taking showers and rolling around naked with each other? Surely they were there for a reason but what, they never did any work at all and as far as the special effects I've seen better shadow puppets for an eclipse than the one in this film. Harvey Keitel was a very convincing horn ball that's about it; I think his mission was to get laid by Farrah. The absolute worst was Hector falling into the acid and coming out with what looked like dried Crisco stalactites shouldn't all of his plastic tubing have instantly melted? Anyway I think I'll go watch Cabin Boy now since it now looks like Casablanca compared to this.

Summary: Horny Robot-- Oh, No!
Review: Three characters are plenty to fill out this stylish Sci-Fi chestnut, wherein Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett are lone scientists stationed on a remote planet as they try to develop a sustainable new food source for Earth folks who are starvin'. Their idyllic little existence is shattered when Harvey Keitel stops by with his big, badass robot-in-a-box, Hector, in tow. Between salivating over Farrah and plotting how to get into her pants, Harvey assembles Hector, and the two share minds for a while, effectively indoctrinating Hector to the wild woolly world of Harvey's bad manners, general evil, and a supreme desire to knock boots with Farrah.

Summary: I expected more
Review: To say the least, I was expecting far more from this film than what I got. For one thing, the actual concept is interesting and original. A robot going biserk while stationed in a science facility is a great idea to make a suspensful sci/fi epic. But somehow this film doesn't pull it off. The one thing that got to me is how dated this film is. It's not too terribly old; it was released in 1979, but the special effects look like they are out of a 1960's film. Alien came out the same year and this film but this looks like it came out 10 years before it. I also was not big on the acting itself. Harvey Keitel gives a wooden performance, Kurt Douglas is unconvincing as a scientist, and Farrah Faucet just seems be thown in as some Eye Candy. What a shame because I usually like these actors. When the robot finally goes biserk, it's not all that scary and it doesn't last all that long. When its all said and done, this film emerges as a failure, which is a shame because it had so much going for it.
