WESTWORLD (Theatrical Release USA 1973)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì 

Westworld—enticing futuristic concept—completes itself with Yul Brynner, James Brolin, Richard Benjamin, and Dick Van Patten. This movie, by rights, should have been a B-grade or less story and somehow pulled itself into classic status with its realistic portrayal of storyline. Worth watching, it still competes well with similarly themed 2018 sci fi films despite its 45-year earlier debut. Don’t miss it. Nothing lacking here.
