A wonderful film that improves with age.


Now that there is so much high tech stuff out there, as well as all kinds of crazy reality shows, this film hits home for me personally since we now live in a world a lot like the characters do. In all honestly, I do believe one day, we could have robots walking around. I mean, heck, we already do somewhat. Look at the Smartphone for example. Someone was telling me the other day how they saw someone else talking into it, and telling it to remind them of something that was suppose to happen at noon tomorrow or something along those lines and Smartphone repeated back what the person said to confirm it. Films like "Westworld" and another good one, "The Running Man" were indeed overall correct about their predictions of the future.

I also love films that are a hybrid of genres when done correctly. In this case, Westworld is a combo of a sci-fi and a Western - Two of my favorite subjects. All and all, a wonderful film.

Age definitely does not dilute the impact and ambiance of this classic and

neither does it diminish the 'quality' of not only the contents but, also, the execution of it.

agreed. this film not only hasn't aged...it's even better than much of the stuff out there today.

personally, i did LOVE cowboys and aliens - great film and i strongly agree with you about this being a smash genre mashup. but westworld was even better.
