There are more characters and more adventures, but the most important thing has vanished: a coherent vision of a utopian future and the theme of science as the driving force of progress. Where Aleksei German argued with the Strugatskys’ novel in his famous film, the series’ creators simply prefer to ignore the inconvenient parts. CritMeduza [en]
