Futureworld, a great 1970's SciFi classic. March 13, 2009 Mr. R. A. Ross Futureworld [Region 2] It is a great story, fun to watch. This movie begs for a remake! Part of its appeal is the 'technology' and the novel idea of a futuristic holiday resort. They did not use CGI as extensively as they do today; an example is "I Robot", mostly CGI. So it is all real! Accept for the part of replacing humans altogether, it is not so far fetched at all; Disney is famous for its animatronics exhibits. The acting is alright. This movie takes off after the tragedy at Westworld, where robots went on a killing spree after a technical malfunction. In Futureworld everything is all new! Human computer operators are replaced by super intelligent, 700-Series robots, so nothing can go wrong this time round. Really??? The replacement of Humans does not end at the operators; it extends far beyond that... Watch it for yourself!!! This is a must-have for all sci-fi fans I could not get an English version and ordered the Spanish version of the product with an English soundtrack. The DVD is of good quality - Good colour and good stereo sound. I would have liked subtitles though. I always switch them on when I watch movies (personal choice). Come on get this one, if you still can! While you are at it, complete your collection with Westworld, they make the perfect pair. Enjoy! Riaan Ross - South Africa
The widescreen R2 Spanish DVD is cut October 11, 2007 Tuco (Phoenix, Az USA) Films buffs will want to know that the Spanish R2 'Mundo Futuro' DVD is missing footage. There are four cuts totaling 2.5 minutes of missing footage: 1. The pre-credit sequence is missing. 2. Some dialoge during the press invite, round table scene. 3. When Peter Fonda explores the remains of Westworld. 4. Dialogue at the very end. Until a better version is released, your best bet is to pick up the R2 UK full frame edition which includes all of the above cuts.
Campy and interesting.. February 16, 2007 Mo Jangles (California) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
..a good follow up to WESTWORLD. Some of the acting is subpar, but, what do u expect when most of the roles are android characters. This is a good movie to settle down with, when u r in a hankerin' for a big bowl of buttered popcorn, and there is nothing worth watching on cable/tv.
Westworld revisted January 10, 2007 Raymond Bennett (Las Vegas) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
the sequel to Westworld, Blythe Danner has a dream about the "gunslinger" Yul Brenner and that's all you'll see of him. The movie itself is about Delos, the grand technologically advanced vacationland that has worked out the mishaps that shut them down in Westworld. Peter Fonda and Blythe Danner are journalists covering the grand re-opening of Delos but are restricted as to what they are "allowed" to record or photograph. Watch out for those robots that want to "replicate" then eliminate their double!
a very good followup to westworld May 5, 2006 John D. Page (usa) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
peter fonda is a very underrated actor,all through the 70's he stared in some of the best low-buget movies ever made. futureworld starts some years after the westworld disaster. delos is back and running and the bugs that caused the first mishap are taken care of but still people aren't coming back as fast as delos would like so among others peter fonda and blythe danner go to take a tour. fonda wants to find out what a friend ment when he said delos after being stabed. well as you can guess something is up but not what you think,they take a different corse and the it becomes a political thriller that works quite well.fonda has a natural charm like his father but much more of an everyday charm than henry had, and he never rubs you the wrong way like jane does. his career needs to be looked at again,he really is much better than they give him credit for>
