Saturn 3

Just watched an old space flick on the old VHS format called Saturn 3 from 1980. I sort of enjoyed it but it was a bit tedious at times. Clearly derived from choice cuts from Star Wars [the opening cruiser fly-by scene], Silent Running, Dark Star and Alien to name a few, it still had some merit, mostly through the credentials of the actors: erstwhile A-lister Kirk Douglas, Charlie's Angel Farah Fawcett and a young and rather stiff Harvey Keitel, whose Brooklyn accent was overdubbed!

I thought that the robot was unimaginative, particularly it's unfinished head. The film's redeeming feature is the main ship shown at the end of the film! A snazzy moon ferry, with the same function as our friend the Nuke Ferry [earth to moon to earth shuttles] with a front shuttle-car recalling Thunderbird 4 with a bit of the Spacex Pleasure Cruiser thrown in [particularly the HG Toys snub nose version]!
