Review: This was a favorite movie of mine as a kid. It starts out a little slow but really holds up well in the final two acts.

"You can control it?"
"I guess. I'm getting better."
"But people... you can tell what they're thinking?"
"Oh, no, I'm not telepathic or anything like that."
"Then how do you know what they're feeling?"
"Well, you sort of guess at that because you know what you're feeling yourself."

"D.A.R.Y.L. goes to the scrap yard. Understood?"
