Amazon.co.uk Review
Welcome to Delos, the high-tech Disneyland for adults that Michael Crichton created for Westworld, a nifty science fiction thriller from 1973 that also marked the popular novelist's feature-film directorial debut. The movie is so named because the vacationing buddies who travel to Delos (James Brolin, Richard Benjamin) choose Westworld as their destination (the other choices being Roman World and Medieval World), where they are free to indulge their movie-inspired fantasies of the Wild West). The place is populated by perfectly humanlike robots programmed and monitored to cater to every guest's fancy, from brothel beauties to black-hatted gunslingers (such as the villain played by Yul Brynner). But fun turns into abject horror when the robots--particularly Brynner's villain--begin to malfunction and Delos turns into an amusement park that's anything but amusing. Westworld has moments of camp and the look of a low-budget back-lot production, but two decades before Crichton revamped his idea to create Jurassic Park, this movie made the most of its interesting and exciting premise. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Yul never be the same, 26 Sep 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Theme parks get more sophisticated. Now instead of faking it with actors, the people at Delos have come up with the ultimate getaway; they have created several theme parks of which one is called "Westworld" and use robots instead. They can take real bullets and be repaired. As a side interest they also have other realistic body parts.

To this theme park comes Peter Martin (Richard Benjamin) for a little R&R. At first he is a little shy then he actually gets into things. Everyone is having a great time.

Unknown to the guests Delos is experiencing an anomaly with its system. It seems that in spite off all the fail safes a guest gets shot. Then everything snowballs out of control. The most out of controlest is a robot gun slinger that looks an awful lot like Yul Brynner.

You feel that you are there. So what can you do?

4.0 out of 5 stars Robots go haywire in futuristic theme park, 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Westworld [VHS] [1973] (VHS Tape)
Michael Crichton, in his directorial debut, delivers an entertaining movie in this story of two businessmen, Richard Benjamin and James Brolin, who decide to go on vacation to the futuristic (and ridiculously expensive)Delos resort. Out of the three possible destinations (westworld, roman world and medieval world), they opt for westworld. The difference from normal holidays is that, apart from the paying guests, all the inhabitants are high tech robots. The variety of robots, from bar tenders to prostitutes, perform every function required of them by the guests. all goes well until the wiring inside robot gunslinger Yul Brynner goes wrong. Soon all the robots are on the rampage, as one by one all the guests are killed, until only Benjamin remains, setting the scene for a suspense packed show down with Brynner. The acting is good enough, but as expected Brynner steals the show as the emotionless killer. Worth watching not just for western fans, but for all action enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars robots day out , 22 Aug 2008
By Dr. U. L. Khawaja "usman khawaja" (hornchurch ,london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Westworld [VHS] [1973] (VHS Tape)
some pleasure-leisure robots rebel in a futuristic pleasure park and we have mayhem and carnage ,but the moralist and ethical issues to use real people as models for pleasure and sadomosochism as an acceptable social standard is very well debated in an entertaining movie ,which is a satire as well as a slick thriller ,two rare qualities together in a science fiction fantasy.

yul brynner gives one of his best ever as the gunslinger and he is maniacally precise in both the acting skills and gun target practice with super retina .

surprisingly you feel sorry for the robots then the human victims who are the origonal tyrants ,in some ways this movie stands up for the opressed of the planet in reminding the rest that the role reversal can happen by a freak accident at any moment and it goes a long way intellectually in that aspect as well as a duel between machines and human beings where the human imperfection can ultimately become the saving strength in face of a perfect machine -intelligent movie with great technical values too .
