Movie Reviews of D.A.R.Y.L.
Movie Review: What an awesome movie
Summary: 5 Stars
D.A.R.Y.L. has to be right up there in my top-15 movies of all time, and for good reason. Quality action, thought-provoking plot, and killer acting make this cutting-edge high-tech cyberthriller a must-see.
The movie came out at an impressionable time for me, and it made a big impact. I remember seeing it and thinking, 'How great would it be to be a robot!' For a few months after seeing the film, I tried living life robotically. I would approach my problems in a cold, logical manner - no friends, no flirting with girls - and I tried not to ever laugh. Whenever it was time to eat with people I would say, "This unit does not technically need your primative foodstuffs, but the basic protein compounds should provide some benefit once my servos have broken them down into a more usable form." You should have seen the stares THAT got! I think people really started to think I was a robotic being!
Eventually though, enough taunting and failure on the baseball field helped me realize that I was just a mere human after all, and that I had better stop pretending. But I've never stopped loving this movie, and all of the positive and warm things it makes me feel. If you like movies about robot boys, check it out!
Movie Review: DARYL is a Great movie with polictical undertones
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie many years ago and just watched it again. The technology and plot were just as refreshing as when I first saw it.
It seems strange the world has not progressed beyond this point, but the military is still in charge and there are still victims of its struggle for power. D.A.R.Y.L.(Digital Analyzing Robotic Youth Life form) is a young boy played by Bret Oliver (Never ending story, Cocoon) who was created as an experiment. The intent was to create the perfect soldier, but it backfired and Daryl became a "Real Boy" with extraordinary powers. With the help he escapes his Laboratory home and I given to a foster family while his "real" parents are found. They fall in love with him but the military want him "terminated" and he is recaptured. His captures are surprised by his growth and human abilities so that save him and he is returned to his loving family and friends. A story of intrigue, love, compassion, sacrifice and friendship well worth having.
A great movie and a must have for collectors.
Movie Review: WOW! This one takes me back!
Summary: 5 Stars
D.A.R.Y.L. is one of those movies that generates great childhood memories. I remember watching this with my grandmother around the time they first aired it on HBO. It's a unique story about a boy who is actually a robot. The story opens with D.A.R.Y.L. being abandoned in the woods by what would appear to be some lunatic driver. Found by an elderly couple, D.A.R.Y.L. is taken into custody and placed in a foster home. adding to the plot, it appears that he has a case of amnesia. His foster parents, played by Mary Beth Hurt and Michael Mckean, begin to notice that D.A.R.Y.L. is an extraordinary child. As the story progresses, D.A.R.Y.L.'s "real parents" come to take him "home".
All in all I've always felt this movie was a great watch. Years later I would say that it has survived the test of time. Around the same time I discovered they had released another movie from my childhood on DVD. If you liked this you might check out "Flight of the Navigator".
Movie Review: A Great Family Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie sometime late in the 1980's. As a boy I thouroughly loved the imagination in the idea behind the story and the fun that was so well matched with the plot and drama. The movie is entertaining and at the same time serious and it is true to reality within the context of the movie and its main subject, DARYL who is a real boy with a computer for a brain. Any family would have fun and enjoy watching this, and what boy wouldn't dream of flying a top secret aircraft as we all dream of being pilots and astronauts when we get older. This video is still fun to watch as an older guy just to go back to those dreams and share a moment with the nephew as well.Movie Review: classic 80s
Summary: 5 Stars
DARYL is a classic 80s movie from back in my day, because i grew up in the 80s. This movie is very heart warming and very touching and shows people how much we should cherrish every moment with our children and families. I am very pleased that Paramount has finally decided to release this title. When this movie cameout on the VHS format, I used to rewind it, and play it again, over and over. 6 weeks to til this movie will be released.
You will not be disapointed in this feature film, more films should be like this title, its alot better than the other crap thats out there these days that they say are childrens movies
