Westworld (1973)

Rating: 3/5

Delos has developed the vacation of the future — a set of themed worlds that create immersive experiences with the aid of near-human-looking robots.

There's no way to get hurt here, so enjoy yourself

But the scientists at Delos have discovered an alarming rate of breakdowns, following a pattern akin to the spread of an infection.

No one worries too much until one of the robots goes against its programming and hurts a human. 

Similar to Jurassic Park, this movie takes an eye thought up by an eight-year-old and tries to make it work. Inevitably, it involves experiences only available to the rich, warnings from brilliant but ignored scientists, and chases when things go wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, I still found this entertaining. It’s just one of those concepts that falls apart with any scrutiny
