Two Journalists learn of strange goings on at Futureworld, they go undercover to explore, and discover that Delos is once again having problems.
I have to be honest, I only recently watched Westworld for the first time, and had no idea that this follow up existed, I'm glad I got to see it.
I don't think it's a patch on Westworld, but then that really did take me by surprise, the sheer originality and horror element of it were excellent. Futureworld doesn't quite have the same intensity or creative prowess, but it's still a pretty good watch.
I liked the story itself, it worked well, with the robots put to great use, with a few interesting twists thrown in for food measure. The sets look generally very good, as do some of the effects.
Some nice touches of humour, I liked the boxers, loved Clarke and absolutely loved the chess game.
If you're like me, you're here for the sci fi, but primarily for the presence of Yul Brynner, it's just a shame you have to wait almost an hour for him to make an appearance. I was sad to learn that this was his final film.
Better than expected, I think this film will definitely be a grower.
7/10.
