So, the original WESTWORLD is one of my favourites, a movie that helped put Michael Crichton on the map and subverted the western genre in engaging, fascinating ways. I wasn't impressed by the sound of a TV series remake, but it turns out I was wrong about that one: this is something totally different. It has the same basic concept but runs away with it in the opposite direction, focusing on the robots instead. This opener has perfect acting, cinematography, and an incredible amount of depth, looking at human nature, artificial intelligence, memory, violence and a whole lot more besides. It's creepy, fascinating, and enthralling. More please!
