Westworld - 4 stars out of 5 stars

OK this is the third "Robot"film in a row I'm reviewing and maybe the best ever made except for the classic"The Terminator"This 1973 film that runs only 88 minutes,takes the idea of a adult themed Disney type fantasy park and turns it into a warning about machines taking over.Whats really worth watching is the acting.Yul Brynner as the Robot Gunslinger plays it as he did in "The Magnificent Seven" only adding to it menacing relentlessness as Arnold was in"The Terminator".Thats the key to believability in both films.Richard Benjamin and James Brolin are good as the two buddies whose are trapped when the robots started running amuck.The rest of the cast have minor roles but fine including Majel Barrett as Miss Carrie for you Trekkies out there.The film however is very dated thats why I had to take a star off,but you can do FAR worse than this forgotten gem.
Trailer URL follows the pix,and a IMDB summary below.
