I remember I saw this Polish - Russian film around 1978 or 1979, when I myself was 8 or 9 years old. That film really shocked me, and I was deadly frightened with the final scene where one of the "bad androids" was trying to launch some mechanism which would certainly kill all the humans of board of the space ship. And then, one of the human pilots managed to kick the velocity, and thus the artificial arms of that robot were vividly torn away. I was so frightened with that so I didn't sleep several hours at night. Let's be serious. This is a low-budget, old Soviet adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's sci-fi book. The problem is still actual now - will the handsome, smart, strong androids be better than real humans, or if they are, will they eliminate us as a defected rudimentary? The film is not a must for those who seek superb special effects, but this is a far warmer and sincere story about the old but actual question - Will robots replace us?
