D.A.R.Y.L.

This day in age, more and more obscure movies are getting cleaned up on Blu-ray and 4k.....but I bothered to look this one up to see if there's a version of Daryl that's just the Blu-ray, but the cleaned up combo is the one you want with the 4k. Aside from that little issue, this is a great movie and should've had a proper DVD release, during the original DVD craze. Barret Oliver is better known as Bastian from The Neverending Story, but I honestly think he shines more in this film. Between this and The Terminator, Daryl seriously got shoved under the bus as far as the popularity goes, but between the two of them, Daryl puts the AI front and center where the other is much more discreet. I'm actually surprised there isn't another version of this storyline done in the 21st century, but for what this movie is, this should wake up not just the United States, but the world. What's harder about this concept is that this should freak people out, but it doesn't. Just within the last two to three years, there are more life-like robots being made that are using AI, and now they are introduced AI robotic women being manufactured to be your girlfriend, this is wrong on so many levels. I don't mind it showing up in movies, but in general, you shouldn't mess with AI.....

To avoid giving away specific details, I will just say that this is an outstanding movie. It is realistic in most respects, and very well portrayed. Certain scenes will certainly bring back old memories, and if you happen to be a military veteran with some experience with aircraft, you will most definitely be pleased. I give this movie my highest rating!

Good movie but was a recorded dvd

Got what i ordered for a good price delivered timely

Good old time movie

I saw this movie when it came out and over the years, I remembered it as a family movie, but there is sexual talk from Darryl's friend that is inappropriate for children, in my opinion. Watch with caution. Otherwise, this is a good sci-fi movie about love and belonging.

Great movie for children of all ages!

Heart-warming little movie with GREAT PERFORMANCES from nearly everyone involved. Barrett Oliver was wonderful (as always), the kid who played Turtle was FUNNY, Michael McKean, Mary Beth Hurt, Colleen Camp... just a fabulous cast! The quality of the 4k image was nothing short of amazing...

Un altro dvd che non può mancare nella videoteca degli appassionati dei film cult anni 80. È stato un vero piacere rivederlo dopo tanti anni. Il dvd è arrivato ben impacchettato e protetto. Consigliato a tutti.

梱包も丁寧で満足しました。内容は思い出しました。字幕なしなことはわかっていましたが、いざ手に入れてみると字幕スーパーが欲しくなる。それが星の数減らした理由です。

Muy buena peli

De manière surprenante, ce film des années 80 n'a pas pris une ride, même si l'informatique de l'époque paraît bien obsolète, parce qu'il pose la question du progrès technologique au service d'un intérêt prédateur (constituer une armée de soldats-robots). Face à ce projet fou se pose soudain une autre question : le robot biotique est-il humain ? car il semble éprouver des émotions (comme jadis on s'est posé la question : les "sauvages" sont-ils des humains ?). Le film montre très bien (avec presque 20 ans d'avance !) que les relations que l'enfant établit avec ses proches va sculpter son cerveau (électronique!) comme elles sculptent le cerveau (biologique) du petit humain (nous ne sommes pas loin de l'épigénétique!). Grâce à des acteurs très crédibles et surtout grâce au jeune Barret Oliver qui a cette formidable capacité à traduire les émotions, ce film réserve aussi de grands moments de cinéma avec une mise en scène lumineuse et des traits d'humour réjouissants.

Bien
