There is no POINT you people slagging off at the technological deficiencies of a 1973 film...in 2002! WESTWORLD just happens to be the great-great grandparent of JURASSIC PARK as well as the surrogate parents of TERMINATOR, EVE OF DESTRUCTION etc...You don't go round slinging off at your own ancestors do you now?
This was a DEVELOPING Michael Crichton...if all of you technologically inscrutable reviewers figure you can do it BETTER...be my guest...show us your stuff!
I saw WESTWORLD the day of its '73 Australian premiere, I was actually reviewing it for my own newspaper. I'll repeat what I said THEN! A conceptually brilliant update on the Disneyland theme-park idea with Yul Brynner basically reprising his role from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN as a robotic gunslinger with a touch too much human ambition. With the limited budget Crichton had to work with, he did alright and if some of you weren't to taken with MEDIEVAL WORLD or ROMAN WORLD well pardon me all over the place. Personally I would die for one of the "pleasure models!"
WESTWORLD was a colossal hit worldwide and I can tell you, there were few nit-pickers a quarter of a century ago. See it today for what it is..a benchmark in scifi cinema. You could do worse than watching FUTUREWORLD too - not as good but compared to BLADE2 or MIB2 a total classic.
