Just wanted to say that the German DVD set (digitally restored)is wonderful. I just bought it. It still captures the early 1970s look of pioneering film/TV technology - but just a little cleaner so it still looks good in 2008 and in the future. The path of the story - obviously - is not as fast as it would be nowadays, but it still is great to watch. The main theme: we can have robots as our best friends, but what do they "feel" for us - is never really answered. And (excellent) adult stuff such as Ridley Scott's Blade Runner - more than a decade later - don't offer better answers. Robby the robot will be forever one of my best childhood friends. The story: oops, can't tell it. Just: there is suspense and enough story to keep it all very interesting. Thank you Armin Maiwald and your team and helping hands for creating such a classic. I hope this will be well dubbed and shown in other countries.
