Stanley Donen's daffy sci-fi adventure pretends to be literate and thought-driven, a movie to be appreciated by the 18-34 crowd, but, well, how do I put this?
Saturn 3 is the most amazingly incompetent, visually hysterical, and thoroughly ridiculous blob of space-pablum I've seen since the original The Outer Limits.
To watch an accomplished actor like Harvey Keitel debase himself like this, to see Kirk Douglas--Spartacus!--mug at the camera and show off his physicality at 63 in the place of acting, to see Farrah Fawcett slip a little nip here and there (and probably wish she hadn't quit the brainiac Charlie's Angels), is to appreciate the wit and wisdom of the NBC's Buck Rogers.
I saw Saturn 3 as a 21 year old. At 64, I think I may have improved a bit. The movie hasn't.
Still ridiculous and idiotic, but Farrah was something, wasn't she?
