Goofs
(at around 36 mins) When Joyce teaches D.A.R.Y.L. how to play the piano, D.A.R.Y.L. demonstrates his grasp of the piece's rhythm by saying, "Whole note, two half notes, and four quarters to a measure", a perfect description of 4/4 time. However, they play a piece in 6/8 time.

Quotes
Dr. Ellen Lamb: General, a machine becomes human when you can't tell the difference anymore.

It's even good.

Although the script of the film is somewhat incomplete and there are some parts of the film that could be improved; I even found the film quite good, with good actors, good special effects and the history of the film is quite original. Of course it's not the best movie ever (it's a long way from being), but I still liked the movie anyway. Highly recommend.
