Amazing Precursor To Blockbuster Films
I was impressed by this movie. The story centers around two men visiting a futuristic amusement park that allows them to live out their wild west fantasies to the minutest detail. Gunfights and quick-draw shootouts are made possible by robot antagonists, that is, until the robots decide they don't like being the ones shot all the time. The main villainous robot is portrayed by Academy Award winning Yul Brynner. He plays a robot version of the character he portrayed in "The Magnificent Seven". This is one of the few movies that Michael Crichton directed although "The Great Train Robbery" is probably more well liked. "Westworld" reminds me of "Terminator", and "Jurassic Park" and it is quite possible it influenced both. I found it engaging and fascinatingand hopefully you will to. Be sure to chek out the sequel "Futureworld", again with Yul Brynner as a psychotic robot, and look out for the upcoming remake "Westworld" slated for a 2009 release
