"Westworld" is one of those guilty pleasure movies. It is fun to watch and the fact that it looks like it was shot on a budget doesn't matter.

The futuristic plot is simple. In the not to distant future, technology has advanced to the place where we not only can build robots but use them for pleasure. They are so good and realistic that the only way to tell if they are indeed a robot is to look at their hands, which for some reason the scientists could not figure out how to create proper creases and folds.

In typical capitalistic fashion, someone figured out how to use the robots for fun and pleasure and what else is more fun than being a gunfighter in the wild west. So for an expensive fee, you too can pretend to be a bad guy or good person. You can also fulfill your fantasies with the realistic female robots which play their parts equally well.

But as with all things mechanical, it's pretty easy to expect problems only when your dealing with robots, the problems get dangerous.

"West World" featured strong performances from Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin and numerous other "television" actors. If you haven't seen it, don't expect an academy award winning film, but it's a good fun DVD to eat popcorn to when you need a cheap date!
