Movie Reviews of D.A.R.Y.L.

Movie Review: A boy is just a boy even if he is also a robot
Summary: 4 Stars

When I review D.A.R.Y.L. I review and rate is out of nostalgia. It was a movie I thoroughly enjoyed as a kid and I watched it many many times. The movie is about a boy who is really a robot with artificial intelligence and emotions as well. He escapes the research facility where he was created and is adopted by the Andersons, who are scientists (comes in handy when something goes wrong with D.A.R.Y.L. The movie is a bit like Pinocchio, a boy who yearns for that human feeling. The movie deals with issues of love, being a kid and even the right to be. Overanalyzing much for a kid's movie? Maybe. But, I really liked this movie growing up. It is an excellent movie for children that throws in a bit of action here and there. But, it is also very heartfelt and all-in-all a feel good movie.

It is definately better than A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Movie Review: D.A.R.Y.L.
Summary: 4 Stars


"D.A.R.Y.L." (Data Analysing Robot Youth Lifeform) was made in 1985
with a generous helping of charm, warmth and sincerity, so much so
that you honestly believe that such a thing is possible.

D.A.R.Y.L. is a young boy who is in fact an experiment in artificial
intelligence by the military who have a top secret interest in
D.A.R.Y.L. that threatens his very existence.

This is a no nonsense movie and you genuinely feel for the main
character who is unintentionally thrust into the world of real
people to fend for himself.

D.A.R.Y.L. is smart, nice and liked by all including his foster
parents who are keen to adopt him. So why is he targeted for
destruction?

Barret Oliver who himself is a real charmer stars as D.A.R.Y.L.
and he is well supported by an able cast.

Great family entertainment.

Movie Review: A machine becomes human when you can't tell the difference anymore
Summary: 4 Stars

I like this film. It is a delightful story of an android boy who when exposed to humanity becomes one of us. It explores the naivety of sheltered youth coming of age and trying to learn the things of the world, from a different point of view. Touching and emotional. A very good "feel good" movie that is sure to hold your interest as you watch with anticipation as to how the plot will unfold. Very good casting and acting, film quality and sound. A good family film. You will be taken back a bit to your own youth as you watch D.A.R.Y.L. learn about love, affection, the basics of human emotion and acceptance in a world that is very much alien to him. I recommend this film whole heartedly.

Movie Review: Olde but a goodie
Summary: 4 Stars

Daryl is about a kid who finds himself in a strange place with a supposed memory loss only to find out he's a science project. A family who is desperate to have a child of their own takes him in only to have him taken away supposedly by his real parents. Yet another feel good movie but it delivers in my opinion.

Movie Review: Great family movie
Summary: 4 Stars

D.A.R.Y.L has always been one of our favorite family movies. It shows that love doesn't have to be about your own biological children but also about children of your heart....even if they are little robots (lol).
