xfool Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 A series inspired by the 1973 film of the same title written by Michael Crichton about a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings. Quote
Salkafar Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 This could be good. The Seventies had some amazing concepts in movies, but mostly not the technology to make the effects perfect, so it all looked kind of cheesy, even if the acting was pretty great. So far,the attempts at capturing that in our time have been faltering (but not entirely unsuccessful). Quote
*guyverfan Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 big fan of the original movie, quickly grabbed it when re-released on dvd. i've just seen the first episode of this series and i love it. although i can't see some of the big actors in this staying longer for one season, i can just imagine the cost in wages! unless they just have them making brief 5min cameo's for 1 episode out of every 2-3?

Sully Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Just watched the first two episodes and I'm hooked! Very well done, great story and actors I hope this continues being this interesting. Quote
RazorLaser Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Watched the first episode and loved it! Quote
H222G981 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I especially liked how it ended with the synth's or hosts taking over the park. The last episode is my top favorite episode. Just wondering. Is the second season going to be Westworld or is it going to about Samurai World? Quote
Sully Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 The only thing I've heard about Westworld Season 2 is that it'll take 2 years to produce. but it'll be worth the wait! 1 Quote

That I can agree with. I'm thinking the second season we'll get to see what happens after the park was taken over. Quote
RazorLaser Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I don't know if I can wait another year for season 2! What a show! Quote
Shin Mefilas Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Finally got round to this series. I've just finished episode 1. All I can say is wow. This is all i could have hoped for. The original Westworld was an amazing concept for its time, it was originally written by Michael Crichton (writer of Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, Congo, The Sphere and many other science fiction novels). The idea was basic yet brilliant, what happens when technology outgrows humanity's control? Now in this day and age that ideas been explored a lot but back then it was a very new concept. Its also likely that we have Westworld to thank for both Jurassic Park, which is a similar kind of story but with dinosaurs, and Terminator, its themes and main antagonist both having much in common with Westworld's. The Gunslinger (Yul Brynner) is the original Terminator. From what I've seen so far this series is doing everything I hoped it would. More depth and secrets, exploring of how Westworld works, how humans act in such a place and, most importantly of all, what dose humanity do when its creations grow beyond its control.

Salkafar Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Watched it. Brilliant. First episode is the best though. Mate of mine accidentally spoiled the big reveal about the Man in Black. Quote
