    WESTWORLD [1973] [40th Anniversary Edition] [Blu-ray]
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2014*

WESTWORLD [1973] [40th Anniversary Edition] [Blu-ray] Where Robot Men and Women Are Programmed To Serve You . . . Romance . . . Violence . . . Anything! Boy Have We Got A Vacation For You!For $1,000 a day, vacationers can indulge whims at the theme park called WESTWORLD. They can bust up a bar or bust out of jail, drop in on a brothel or get the drop on a gunslinger. It's all safe and the park's lifelike androids are programmed never to harm the customers. But not all droids are getting with the programme. Michael Crichton of ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Twister,’ wrote and made his directing debut with this futuristic thriller that heralded moviemaking's future as the first feature to use digitized images. Richard Benjamin and James Brolin portray pals confronted by a simulated reality turned real. And Yul Brynner is their stalking, spur-jangling nemesis. It is man versus machine in a tomorrow that isn't big enough for the both of them.Cast: Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin, Norman Bartold, Alan Oppenheimer, Victoria Shaw, Dick Van Patten, Linda Gaye Scott, Steve Franken, Michael T.

That's what science fiction writer Michael Crichton did when he wrote the screenplay for ‘WESTWORLD’ [1973], a film that holds the distinction of being the last movie M-G-M produced before dissolving its releasing company. ‘WESTWORD’ is also notable as the first theatrical feature directed by Michael Crichton and with a story written directly for the screen, Michael Crichton's 'WESTWORLD' is a solid mix between action and allegory that still holds up quite well 40 years after first appearing in cinemas.It's hard to think today of science fiction that doesn't involve spaceships and lots of special effects and explosions, but in the pre-'Star Wars' era of the late 1960s and early 1970s, science fiction movies had more to do with addressing current social issues than they did with simple good versus evil. In 'WESTWORLD,' Michael Crichton tackles the issues of technology and man's overreliance on it. Set in the near future, which could very much be in our own present day, 'WESTWORLD,' also frequently referred to in the film as 'Westernworld,' and is one of three adult-themed amusement parks,  including 'Romanworld' and 'Medievalworld,' where adults pay $1,000 dollars a day to live out their fantasies. The "actors" within each park are highly-advanced humanlike robots, which means the customers can interact with them in any way they wish...insulting them, having sex with them, and yes, even killing them, with no repercussions. ‘WESTWORLD’ was filmed in several locations including the Mojave Desert, the gardens of the Harold Lloyd Estate, and several sound stages at M-G-M. Apparently the film was shorn of ten minutes prior to its release in order to earn a PG rating which makes you wonder what the R-rated footage could have been. Perhaps a sequence with Richard Benjamin, James Brolin, and those obliging saloon girls?As the film opens, friends Peter Martin [Richard Benjamin] and John Blane [James Brolin] are off to 'WESTWORLD' for a vacation getaway.  Peter is less knowledgeable and more wary about 'WESTWORLD' than John is, who either has been there before or has a better understanding of how things work at the park. John Blane serves primarily as the film's information provider, telling Peter Martin and, thus, the viewer, how and why things work the way they do in 'WESTWORD.' When the two visits a saloon, Peter is taunted by a Robot Gunslinger [Yul Brynner] and winds up shooting him, only to have to shoot him again a few days later. You see, in 'WESTWORLD,' the characters never really die, they just go back for repairs and resurface a day or two later.The three theme parks are run and managed by a team of scientists and computer technicians who control how each robot reacts and responds to the vacationers. However, when John is bitten by a robotic snake, the scientific team begins to realise that they are losing control of their creations. One event leads to another and soon they've lost complete control of the robots in all three of the parks, leaving the humans within to fend for themselves.If you haven't already picked up on it, there's a tremendous amount of similarities between 'WESTWORLD' and another popular Michael Crichton story that became a motion picture, 'Jurassic Park.' One could even argue that the latter is basically the same story as 'WESTWORLD,' with DNA-created dinosaurs replacing the robots. Comparisons can also be made to a non-Michael Crichton film, ‘The Terminator,’ as the stalking of Peter by the gunslinger in the last act of the movie certainly reminds one of a certain cyborg. In fact, there were talks a few years ago about Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the gunslinger in a 'WESTWORLD' remake/reboot.Sci-fi fans should also be on the lookout in 'WESTWORLD' for roles played by actors who either had or would go on to have parts in other notable sci-fi franchises. You'll see Majel Barrett ['Star Trek'] running the town's brothel, Jared Martin [TV's 'War of the Worlds'] as one of the lab technicians, and in one of the coolest connections, Alan Oppenheimer as the lead scientist who developed and repairs the robots. Alan Oppenheimer, of course, also played Dr. Rudy Wells in two of the television films that lead to the launch of the 'Six Million Dollar Man' series.The best way to judge the quality of a film is how well it holds up years later, and considering its 40-years-old, 'WESTWORLD' holds up pretty well. Naturally, the special effects and sets haven't aged well, and there's a silly barroom fight about half-way through the film that is too long, too campy, and completely unnecessary for the story, but all in all 'WESTWORLD' deserves its spot as one of the more memorable science fiction films of the early 1970s.Blu-ray Video Quality – For a 1973 release, Warner Home Video has done a fairly nice job with the transfer here. Colours are bright, although at times a little oversaturated, and while some scenes do have a softer look to them, overall the transfer is fairly sharp and detailed. Warner Bros. hasn't gone overboard using digital noise reduction, leaving a nice layer of grain in the picture that is always evident, but never obtrusive. Any dirt or other defects from the original print have been removed here. Overall, this is a nice balance between giving us the sharpness that Blu-ray can provide, and still trying to maintain the original look of the theatrical presentation. Fans of the film should be pleased by the presentation.Blu-ray Audio Quality – The audio track here is a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Track and the 1.0 Dolby Digital tracks are also available in Spanish (both Castilian and Latin), French, German, and Italian), but the vast majority of both the dialogue and music comes from up front, with little, but noticeable activity in the rear speakers. While both the dialogue and music are crisp and clear, the balance between the two is not. When Fred Carlin's score is featured, it's almost twice as loud as the dialogue in the film, meaning most viewers will either be playing with their audio volume throughout, or just gets a jolt every time the film's music is featured. Usually with Blu-rays, where the music and other sound effects are louder than the spoken dialogue is nothing new, but it's much more evident in 'WESTWORLD,' due to the fact that music rarely plays over dialogue and vice versa.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature Documentary: On Location With Westworld [1973] [480i] [9:07] This is an original promotional short vintage behind-the-scenes documentary showing how the film was made, and primarily focusing on writer/director Michael Crichton, as well interviews with fellow actors Yul Brynner and Richard Benjamin. We also see how some of the stunts were performed, including the scene where Brynner's character gets engulfed in flames. Although it's an all-too-brief look at the production, it is easily the best bonus feature and it's nice that Warner Home Video decided to include it on this release.Special Feature: 1980 TV Pilot: Beyond Westworld [480i] [47:52] This is the pilot for the quickly abandoned series that CBS attempted to develop from the film. The series jettisoned the notion of technology run amuck and substituted a human villain named Quaid [James Wainwright], who had designed the robots but didn't like seeing them wasted on leisure activities. Quaid seized control of the entire robot population and had them destroy the theme parks. Now it's up to corporate trouble-shooter John Moore [Jim McMullan] to stop whatever Quaid has planned, which seems to involve national security.Theatrical Trailer [1973] [480i] [3:07] If you're one of the few who has yet to see 'WESTEWORLD,' then do not watch this trailer before watching the film. It gives away literally every major plot point in the film, including the demise of major characters, the final scene, and the final line of dialogue!Finally, one aspect of `WESTWORLD' that always left me dubious was the willingness of its guests to let themselves be observed by the park staff while engaging in the theme parks' elaborate charades, including sexual relations with robots in a variety of fantasy scenarios that most people presumably wouldn't want to share with strangers. This time around, though, I realised that Michael Crichton's instincts were once again ahead of his time. If a theme park like WESTWORLD existed today, and it still may be built, as least in the world of remakes, there would be an additional class of guest besides those paying the contemporary equivalent of $1000 a day. For these guests, all expenses would be paid in exchange for a waiver allowing their entire stay to be filmed and broadcast on a reality series. Michael Crichton might not have imagined the specifics of Westworld: The Jersey Shore, but the germ of the idea is right there in his park design. Although it is good follow up to the previous release of `FUTUREWORLD,' sadly it does not quite match up to that film and on top of that, sci-fi has moved on and things look slightly old fashioned, but despite this, I am still glad I have added this to my Blu-ray Collection. Highly Recommended!Andrew C. Miller – Your Ultimate No.1 Film FanLe Cinema ParadisoWARE, United Kingdom

    "WESTWORLD": A Good Science-Fiction Film that should have had MORE to show.
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023*

In my assessment of the 1973 motion picture, "Westworld," I enjoyed it pretty much, but the film, which was both written and directed by Michael Crichton, should have had some more screen time due to not including the "Roman World" scenes, except during the near-conclusion, where the robots were killing the human guests there by serious malfunction. So much for the timing of "Westworld."I might add that there should have been a different title for the Crichton film because of the three worlds that were presented in it instead of just "Westworld." After all, IF the film had lasted like over two hours, there would have been like some equal time for the "Roman World" scenes as were the "Medieval World" and "West World" sequences in it as well.In spite of the lack of time and opportunity for a 1973 motion picture that lasted about 90 minutes, I very much enjoyed it anyway.I was also glad to have "Westworld" on Blu-ray because of the special features that were not included on the film's DVD edition that I used to have in the past.I might want to add that in regards to the features, I liked the featurette on the film's behind the scenes with the late author, Michael Crichton, who wrote and directed "Westworld" along with the leading cast members, Richard Benjamin and Yul Brynner, who all gave brief interviews in it. Unfortunately, another co-star, James Brolin, was NOT included because the featurette only lasted a mere 9 minutes.Well, like I said, so much for timing in films like "Westworld."As for the second featurette of a TV series pilot called "Beyond Westworld," I didn't bother watching it because I wasn't interested at all. I also want to say that most sci-fi TV shows just didn't get to last the way TV shows of other genres had in the 1970's and beyond.All in all, I enjoyed "Westworld" and I recommend the Blu-ray version because of the special features which I truly believe would be worth your time and money.
