WOW! This one takes me back!
by Josh C. Clark (Wilmington, Ohio)
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".

D.A.R.Y.L. Fantastic Ironic tale
by Belerophon (United States)
D.A.R.Y.L. is a largely misunderstood movie. Superficially the movie is about an experimental military project in cybernetic life forms; But really this is just the vehicle for telling a story about humanity and values like: Love, Loyalty, Friendship and Family. This is the irony of the film. The central charachter Daryl (a 12 year old boy) is not really entirely human. He was born in a test tube and grown in an incubator. He has a human brain but its wired to a super computer chip planted deep in his brain. His concsious, memory and his personality resides here. The idea of the project being to find a way to make machines that see the world the way we do and also to make android soldiers. Something goes wrong however and Daryl starts to think and act independently. He develops feelings and all the other qualities that make a human "Human". One of the scientists working on the project decides that Daryl is for all intents and purposes human and smuggles him out of the research facility to save him from destruction (because he is a prototype). The scientist does smuggle Daryl out successfully but dies in the process. Daryl stranded on top of a mountain is picked up by some well meaning people traveling in the area and they drop him off at an orphanage. This is where the story really takes off. Daryl does not have any past or parents so he has no memories of these things and everyone believes he has shock induced Amnesia. He is placed in a foster home with a couple who have been looking to adapt a child. They fall in love with Daryl and desperately want to adapt him. Unbeknownst to them the military wants him back and will stop at nothing to get him.
While not rising to the level of art; this is one of my absolute favorites and one the finest movies ever produced on many levels. The plot is unlikely but is made to work beautifully. The story line flows and everything blends together perfectly. The acting is extremely good especially by Barret Oliver who plays Daryl. Not to take anything away from the rest of the cast who are first rate. There are some humerous moments in the movie as well. These are incidental and appropriate and never degenerates into comedy. The ending is as perfect and ending as you could wish for. It is the happiest most joy filled ending to any movie I have ever seen and is accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack by Teddy Pendergrass called "Somewhere I belong". I highly reccomend this film. It is highly sensitive to the value of Human life and Decency. Has great replay value and its extremely family friendly. I hope they put this on Blu-Ray.
5/5
Enjoy this movie
by Marilee P. Majerus (Minnesota)
I wanted to get the DVD version of this movie because when my children were younger they enjoyed watching this movie with us. I would like to have it to watch it with our grandchildren.
