In a futuristic resort, wealthy patrons can visit recreations of different time periods and experience their wildest fantasies with life-like robots. But when Richard Benjamin ("Goodbye, Columbus") opts for the wild west, he gets more than he bargained for when a gunslinger robot, portrayed by Academy Award-winner Yul Brynner ("The King and I", "The Magnificent Seven"), goes berserk. Written and directed by "Jurassic Park" author and "E.R." creator Michael Crichton. With Emmy-winner James Brolin ("Marcus Welby, M.D.", "Hotel") and Dick Van Patten (TV's "Eight is Enough"). Followed by a sequel, "Futureworld".
Delos is a futuristic amusement park that features themed worlds—ancient Rome, Medieval times and the Old West—populated by human-like androids. After two patrons have a run-in with a menacing gunslinger in West World, the androids at Delos all begin to malfunction, causing havoc throughout the park.

The Gunslinger!For me, Yul Brenner played one of my favorite villains of all time. HIs deadpan performance, the voice, the fact that he never chased down his victims in a sprint. Just that "Clink, clink, clink..." of relentless pursuit. Much more menacing than Darth Vader or the T1000. Love the new show, but this movie is worth a look..Score: 4/5
AwesomeOne of the best movies of all time. Predates Terminator, but if you like Terminator, see this film..Score: 5/5
"Draw." When Yul Brynner says this, you're bound to be dead.Anyway, this film was written and directed by Michael Crichton. This is obvious since it involves a theme park going horribly wrong. Anyway, the gunslinger robot was an inspiration to two famous icons by the way. He was John Carpenter's inspiration for Michael Myers (yeah, baby......NO NOT THAT ONE, but the killer with the William Shatner mask) and he was the inspiration for the Terminator (think about it....a killer robot stalking you to no end). This science fiction, along with The Forbinn Project (did I spell that right?) and the Star Trek episode "The Ultimate Computer" inspired the idea of a super computer taking over everything. That is something I want you guys to think about before watching Terminator and Matrix..Score: 4/5
The Samurai movie criticOne of the great precursor films to first address the fear of the A.I. Machines taking over. It’s a great classic that still holds up now especially since we are getting ever closer to in this day and age to creating these very machines for our own entertainment. Maybe the effects are dated but the very “idea" itself shows that we have been haunted and very concerned about the day when the machines revolt and destroy their makers. I would really like to see an updated version of this film, I think that with a good director a lot more could be added. It makes for a great story and worth watching. Just remember this was made in 73 when effects were still being worked on, it predates Star Wars I believe. I always remember the show “the Bionic Man” and "The Bionic woman” when they were fighting off these same kind of robots with their faces always falling off. Classic!.Score: 5/5

Jurrasic ParkThis is the EXACT SAME STORY, just a different theme to the park. Of course, it was the same author as well, just many years before. All that aside, the "original Terminator" is not the best movie out there, but was a lot of fun nonetheless. Highly entertaining, though totally implausible..Score: 3/5
Amazing in hindsight.I'm sure when this movie came out in 1973 a lot of people thought it was just a silly Sci-Fi "B" movie. Nothing special. But seeing it now in 2017 - 44 years later - it's amazing to see how prophetic this movie was. At face value I would give the movie 3 stars but when you add its prophetic value and relevance to our modern time it deserves a full 5 stars..Score: 5/5

Modestly interesting, not a clasicWas probably a reasonably entertaining but forgettable movie during it's time. Unless you are a cinema buff looking to develop some historical perspective i.e. examining the various bits of cinematic process during the early 1980's then this isn't really worth your time. If you are really bored, and stoned or something... it's probably better than Wheel of Fortune, but not by much..Score: 2/5
Ho-Hum-OKFor its time (c.1973) I remember people talking about it as a futuristic, visionary film. The two principles, Brynner and Benjamin, were famous and the idea of human-imitating robots was far reaching. But to throw in the idea they would develop human sympaties or emotions was outragoue for the time. CGI didn't exist then. For its time, a good film. For today -- boring and ho-hum. We've seen it a dozen times. If you are interested i a film-history lesson -- watch it..Score: 3/5
Great movieSaw this movie in the early 80's, when I was 10 or 11. Was afraid to go to Disney World after that !!! Good story, good thriller. If you're looking for top special effects, forget it, there's no CGI. Less special effects = better movie..Score: 4/5
