SCI-FI MONTH: "D.A.R.Y.L."

What to say about "D.A.R.Y.L"? It's cheesy. It's dated. It's a lesser known children's movie. But for some reason it has staying power. This movie tells the simple tale of a boy who is really a machine. But the film explores more human aspects, such as why he is alive? Can he feel? Can he be a regular boy? He is taken in by a normal family, but his creators are out to get him.

Daryl is played by the kid from "The Neverending Story" and there are some other recognizable faces. Some of the acting is cheesy, but for a kids movie, it kept my attention. Kids films of today could really learn something from a thought provoking film like this. This movie is very 80s, this review could be posted during 80's month, thats how much it fits into the decade. Although it may seem dated, I'd say its worth checking out for almost any audience.
