In Reply to: I watched part of this again (after 20 years) with some friends last year, and it seems VERY dated. posted by Audiophilander on April 26, 2005 at 10:21:15:
I've never considered Marc Singer,(the always great)Michael Ironside, and Faye Grant to be 'wooden'. Diana was such a bitch, you gotta lover her! Some of the matted effects were a bit old looking, but the interior sets I thought were pretty decent, along with some of the coolest laser guns/sound effects from that decade. I still like it better than some of the newer offerings. Some of these are so soaked with digital effects, it looks like a live actor walking in front of a video game. As for the 70's, anyone who thinks the double-sun shot in Star Wars looks 'dated' is just downright looney. I've seen great things from all decades. Saturn 3 is 1980, and I defy anyone to find a greater, more colorful scifi-looking interior design than THAT one! I always wondered what the budget was for that film, but it had very few actors and only a few matte/model effects to deal with.
