    Description of Westworld:
    Welcome to Delos, the high-tech Disneyland for adults that Michael Crichton created for Westworld, a nifty science fiction thriller from 1973 that also marked the popular novelist's feature-film directorial debut. The movie is so named because the vacationing buddies who travel to Delos (James Brolin, Richard Benjamin) choose Westworld as their destination (the other choices being Roman World and Medieval World), where they are free to indulge their movie-inspired fantasies of the Wild West. From brothel beauties to black-hatted gunslingers (like the villain played by Yul Brynner), the place is populated by perfectly humanlike robots programmed and monitored to cater to every guest's fancy. But fun turns into abject horror when the robots--particularly Brynner's badman--begin to malfunction and Delos turns into an amusement park that's anything but amusing. Westworld has moments of camp and the look of a low-budget backlot production, but two decades before Crichton revamped his idea to create Jurassic Park, this movie made the most of its interesting and exciting premise. --Jeff Shannon

    Westworld Reviews:
    Theme park gone awry 5 Star Review
    2009-12-17 - This is another classic sci-fi flic that I needed in my library.

    It is a "fun" adventure with robots.

    A sci-fi/western classic! 4 Star Review
    2009-12-07 - If I went into the plot here I'd almost certainly give something away, so I wont. What you will get is a 70's special effects flick with Yul Brynner as a villain. This movie would be right at home with Vanishing Point and Jaws as examples of indespinsible 70's film making.

    The presentation is flawless. A nice print shown in widescreen. The colors are gorgeous and the sound is good. The special features are sparse, but that doesnt bother me much. Buy with confidence.

    As a sidenote, I hate those stupid cardboard DVD packages with the little plastic tab thing on the right. FYI, this movie comes in one of those.

    Killer cowboy robots! 5 Star Review
    2009-11-30 - This was a very suspenseful movie. Basically, this film is about a futuristic amusement park called Westworld where people can enjoy living in the wildwest. Westworld is inhabited by android robots where visitors can have a shoot-out with them, have a talk with them, and even have sex with them. But when the androids start to malfunction, all hell breaks loose as the unstopable androids start to kill their human guests. Highly suspenseful, good acting and directed, and good special effects. Highly recommended!

    sci-fi classic 4 Star Review
    2009-11-27 - 70's sci-fi, not at it's "best", but a good cross section of what was in the mind of people at the time.(i.e., what the future would be like.)

    gee , what can i add to the proceedings ? not a review ! 4 Star Review
    2009-11-24 - yeah , if you're young and you look at this film today (what with all the advances in filmaking) you're probably not going to be knocked out . when i was ten and even looking back , it rocked . evidently that wasn't much of a budget i see in retrospect . yes , some of the stuff (and folks) look television . i love it though . i thought and still think the idea and execution is so cool and different . i showed it to one of my nephews some years back . my wife and her sister were gently teasing the film from the kitchen . the boy was captivated and excitedly told his mother all about it afterwords . i know the feeling . old school 101 .
