Sean Connery's performance is great, as you'd expect, as a marshall duking it out with crooks confined to a mining space station. It is shot almost entirely inside the station. Although the sound effects and music are very dated, keep in mind, this was made in 1981, it is still a believable space flick nonetheless. The plot is believable. The character development for all the cast is very well done. And there are some great action sequences. I definitely recommend.

The dvd image quality left a lot to be desired. If you're interested in this movie I'd suggest getting the bluray. The bluray quality got a okay review on highdefdigest. Also note the widescreen is formatted for a 4 by 3 screen. I had to magnify the image to get a full 1080p screen.

This movie has three essential elements I desire in a movie: good acting, believable plot, minimal cheese. If you're a Sean Connery fan and you don't like this movie, something is wrong with you. He's tough, smart, and stuck in a situation of unimaginable stress and danger. The acting is great, not just Connery's role but the supporting cast as well. Of course, it helps if you like Sci Fi movies since this has the outer space feel. It's one of the few DVDs I choose to own and I'm sure most Sean Connery fans will feel the same way.
Outland is just about the best science-fiction movie I have seen. Sean Connery is a Federal Marshal on a mining planet. These types of planets are manned by engineers and workers, miners, and periferal employees that include doctors and prostitutes for entertainment. Administrators are paid by the volume they produce and this operation has the highest production around. Unfortunately, they have the highest incidents of suicide. Connnery discovers that the production is due to illegal drugs that not only make the men work harder, but some eventually go crazy with paranoia and commit suicide. Connery must discover who is responsible for the importation of these drugs and stop them. To do this he will have to make a lot of enemies; lots of people including some of his cops are being paid off. . . Now, a hit squad is on its way to the planet and he is the target.Read full review
This rare 1980s jem is one of the best underground space adventues no one ever saw. Starring Sean Connery, and Peter Boyle as rival intrests on opposite sides of a deadly trend occuring on a titanium mine on one of Jupiter's moons. Connery, a washed up federal marshal with family problems gave one of his best performances as the right side of law and order as the mine is crushed under the weight of drug smugglers, corrupt politicans, suicides, dirty cops, bought and sold management, and hit men. Alone he must stand against forces above his head in a cat and mouse game of life and death in the darkest corners of the solar system.
