Frances Sternhagen is one of the most underrated character actresses. She's excellent in everything she does!

Yeah, it’s basically “High Noon” in space but I’ve always enjoyed it. Peter Hyams did a nice job and it’s very well made. Nice visuals and Connery is good. I’ve always liked the Jerry Goldsmith score.

This is one of my favorite Connery movies, among many
RIP

Peter Boyle was such a great actor.

"That's a marshal joke."   Ha ha. I love it.

Close to 40 years with this film,  I now knowingly realize that everyone has the look of Harry Dean Statton in Alien.

Roger: "I like the fact that dumb guys come in and do stupid things." LOL.  Love it.

Great sci-fi flick, part of a trend in science fiction films starting in the late 1970s where the future wasn't as tidy and civilized as seen in Star Trek or Lost in Space. I liked the fact that the film took place in outer space but there no aliens or ray guns, and there was no cheesy romantic subplot. Great chemistry between Frances Sternhagen and Sean Connery's characters as equals - she definitely wasn't a damsel in distress.

After re-watching these old clips I have come to conclusion that I NEVER agree with Siskel, LOL. Good on Ebert - OUTLAND is a great movie!!

'Outland' shouldn't work, but it does. Maybe it is the exact time it was made, where it has enough of a darker 1970's vibe at it's core. Connery is very good and so is the production design and cast.

Wow, they revealed the whole plot in their review!

Gritty Space movie. More of these please!

It's unfortunate this movie isn't as well known as "Alien"-It was a fairly entertaining sci-fi action movie with a clever plot and a good performance by Connery.

I really liked this movie at the time.Great special effects and superb acting.Connery was awesome.

I never saw Outland back in the day but seeing some of the comments here make me interested

this is why S&E was soooo great in the late 70's/ early 80's.....3 previews, each about 90 seconds long. People take trailers and cutscenes for granted now. Back in the day....this is ALL we had!!!!!! thanks for uploading.

I've always enjoyed the movie and in addition to Connery's excellent performance, Peter Boyle and Frances Sterhagen add great acting to the film as well. Agree with Siskel about the villains though. It would have been far more rewarding if they were tougher and more menacing looking adversaries.

Thanks for this for the opening if nothing else. The early WTTW opening for this is one that's harder to find.

I liked outland agree with roger  on  this one

They don’t show this enough on tv nowadays
