Review of Westworld (1973) by Harrison A — 15 Apr 2009

I was surprisingly invested in this. Yul Brynner's performance is deceptively complex and it really projects a great deal of thought. If at all possible, he humanizes this robot. The film itself is a little slow at times, using drawn-out chase scenes to pad the low budget (they used a bunch of stock sets for the environments), but otherwise it remains compelling. Some of the imagery is especially evocative and even haunting.

Highly recommended for the discerning sci-fi fan.
