Finn W Apr 12, 2019 Westworld is an entertaining enough, and sometimes humorous mix of western and science-fiction , it feels like The Terminator (1984) meets The Wild Bunch (1969). But this isn't the film I thought it would be, it let me down a bit. I was expecting a climax with much more action and gore, but especially, I was expecting it to come much sooner. The pacing is just terrible, and it feels like the movie doesn't really know what it wants to be. But, on the other hand, for a not such a big budget, the sets and special effects are well done. Overall, if you're curious enough, check it out! See more

Anakin R Dec 15, 2018 Westworld starts with a memorable premise but never fully utilizes it.

Theodore G Dec 9, 2018 Crichton's western take isn't Leone's tobacco-consuming and hat-tilting explosion, but a meticulous tour to a tamed arena. 9 Westworld Crichton's western take isn't Leone's tobacco-consuming and hat-tilting explosion, but a meticulous tour to a tamed arena. And as much as layered and head scratching this journey is, it is also loosely placed especially in its initial stages. Despite of having various ingredients to bedazzle us and keep us tangled in its overjoyed tour, it fails to proceed its way up to the arc as anticipated. After this arc, which takes place in its middle act, it is basically a surviving nature of human that keeps us going. And with threats at every corner, the sincerity to the crisp is added through meaningful narration. With parallel tracks brimmed with complications that are piled upon each track, Crichton keeps you at the brisk of your seat in its last act. Not only the Westworld, but the two other similar world of it, suffers through similar apocalypse that is set in storytelling as a ticking bomb. Unfortunately what it fails to land on, is enough material to feed off its audience for its runtime, for either it could been edited better or should have added another compelling scene to match it. For no matter what, there was very little reasoning to stretch a bar fight that is shot in slow motion. Unfortunately, Benjamin and Brolin are no match for Brynner's lethal body language, the performance objective is "out of control". Aforementioned, the first half dwells on an exciting entertaining time of our characters' lives which unfortunately isn't shared by the audience in here. Its weak beginning is something that haunts the makers throughout the course. On terms of technical department, the art designing and sharp sound effects is definitely worth taking this tour. Westworld is an another taunt on human's luxurious needs, it is a well crafted caution tale that scares the bejesus out of us. See more

Abraham M Nov 28, 2018 Like so many films, the set-up of "Westworld" is excellent - we establish the rules of this strange and exciting theme park. But the shallow characters, lack of twists and unsatisfying ending make this an entertaining yet hollow entry in Crichton lore. See more

Abraham S Nov 27, 2018 So much more interesting and concise than the overdone garbage on HBO.

Draco W Nov 19, 2018 I already love the concept and feel of the movie. I can tell that the movie is one that doesnï¿ 1/2(TM)t take itself too serious. I really wish something like this excited. I really do. And Iï¿ 1/2(TM)d visit all three types of periods. There seems to be dark side to all of this that I havenï¿ 1/2(TM)t quite put my finger on. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s kind of amazing to see how everything works behind the scenes. This movie takes the phrase be careful what you wish for, to a whole new level. The main character who was new to visiting West World, wanted an authentic feel. Well, he got exactly that when the he started getting chased by a gunslinger. Holy shit. That was one of the biggest fires Iï¿ 1/2(TM)ve ever seen when a stunt actor was catching on fire. That flame was like 10 feet high. Great idea and concept for a movie. A paradise resort where you get to live as another person in your favorite time period and do whatever you want. Only that everything starts going wrong and it turns into a nightmare. And the main evil robot was beautifully portrayed by Yul Brynner. See more
