[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 406620, member: 8"] D.A.R.Y.L. (1985) [ATTACH type="full"]54017[/ATTACH] Sort of a more dramatic version of Disney's THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES (1969) and it doesn't always play out like a typical kids movie, maybe that's one of the reasons why it failed to impress. Even though it looks like a decent production there are also parts in it that makes it look like made-for-TV. in this case I appreciate the bells and whistles-lite approach because it allowed me to ponder the problems [I]and[/I] possibilities of robots, clones or any kind of AI life form getting integrated with human life. To be fair, the story does cheat a little bit by making D.A.R.Y.L. as human as possible, which makes it much easier to love him. The various action scenes are sufficiently exciting, some of it over-the-top but not totally unbelievable in the context of the fantastical story. What I certainly did [I]not [/I] expect was a jump scare that made me fall out of my chair. All in all, I found it very wholesome and entertaining and it's got a lovely soundtrack by Marvin Hamlish.
