"Westworld" focuses more attention on explaining its concept mechanics than developing a plot, but this is such an interesting idea that just the experience of it alone is entertainment enough.

Michael Crichton wrote and directed this movie which makes the similarities to JURASSIC PARK all the more interesting. You can see through his direction and script the cogs in his mind beginning to turn for Crichton to lay the groundwork for what would later become his most famous property. The movie itself is a suspenseful if abit silly thriller. Yul Brynner is absolutely terrifying as the near indestructible and relentless Robot Gunslinger.

The idea of this film is very clever, Michael Crichton is very good at showing the chaos that science and technology can cause and this is no different. As a book, I'm sure it works very well but I just feel it fell a bit flat as a film. I think the casting of Yul Brynner was a genius move but otherwise, I think the film suffers from being very dated. The effects and the technology just can't match up with what we have today and I believe it hampers it a fair bit. However, I still think it is worth watching for the concept alone. I have heard that they are planning to remake this and, as much as I don't like remakes, I think this could be a huge benefit for the likes of Westworld just so long as they keep it sinister and don't overuse effects.
