Saturn 3

“Some thing is watching... waiting... and wanting on...”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 57, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An isolated research station receives a robot whose programmer has transferred more personality than anyone wanted. The machine is striking; the human relationships and questionable engineering make this an awkwardly fascinating space-station thriller.
