Westworld

1973 science fiction western

Rating: 10/20

Plot: For the low cost of 1,000 bucks a day, vacationers can stay at an adult amusement park to get the ultimate experience in virtual reality. They have their choice between Westworld where they can play cowboys and Indians, Romanworld, and a medieval world. A homosexual couple, neither who are Burt Reynolds, decide to visit Westworld. They're having a great time shooting up robots, having sex with robots, and doing other things that cowboys do like robots until those robots start malfunctioning and killing everybody. Then they have to ask for their money back. Yee-haw!

I'm sure Yul Brynner went to his grave proud of his work in this one. Not only is he just phoning in his role from The Magnificent Seven (same costume, I believe!), but he dies like a pansy about thirty-seven times in this movie. This is incredibly dated and stupid on almost every level. Couldn't stand either of the main characters or their stupid hair/moustaches, and somebody should be embarrassed about the B-western action choreography. The main character runs like a girl! The man-on-android action was nothing but a tease. Twice I laughed loudly enough to wake Jennifer up. Westworld is a science fiction western made by people who know nothing about science or westerns. More plot holes here than a sponge's biopic! Yee-haw! Apparently, this is going to be remade. That has Academy Award written all over it!

Note: I would have given this a 14/20 if Yul Brynner would have jerked around on the floor after his deaths. I've always wanted to see Yul Brynner jerk around on the floor.

Here I am:
