Just saw this science fiction movie and decided to add my 2 cents to the opinions about it online. It is a good movie -- for its time anyway ( 1985 ) -- and somehow it feels like watching a prototype of Artificial Intelligence with Haley Joel Osmond. The movie has been recommended  to me  by  a friend of mine who is obsessed with aircraft and is found of Barret Spencer Oliver who  played the leading role of an eleven years old boy with artificial brain. I myself am not very familiar with the actor -- aside from his role of Bastian in The Neverending story. Still I think that he did well -- and his acting in D.A.R.Y.L deserves a high five. The plot of the movie must have been very innovative for its time -- and the movie succeeded to preserve some special appearance even nowadays ( the good movies have no age as we all know). I have to admit that I have seen better movies with similar thematic -- but at the same time I am not really familiar with the movies released in the 80`s. ( then I have a favorite  released then -- ET). If I am to compare this movie with the most recent released Artificial Intelligence I would pick the second one as it somehow succeed to evoke more emotions in me. D.A.R.Y.L on its own is a fun movie to watch -- but I doubt I will remember much of it ( aside from the acting of Barret). The movie did rises some moral issues -- like the one shall anyone destroy a machine if the difference between a man and it can not be seen or sensed ? I think that this would be barbaric -- especially when this would involve hurting a youth ( as Daryl in the movie). Actually if you want to get in the action of Daryl -- you can check another post of mine (link) in which I described one of the ways to have a conversation with existing artificial intelligence out there.

See this movie if you can -- the enjoyment  is  guaranteed ! In the meatime check out its trailer below :
