Review of Westworld

Westworld (1973)
Robot people you can hurt whenever you like.
30 April 2004
The holes in this film are too many to try to fill with platitudes and appeals to "suspend your disbelief" so I will point out only one, which I still find so ridiculous that it almost kills the rest of the film for me each time I see it. When James Brolin's character says that you can tell the humans from the robots by their wrinkly hands because "they haven't perfected the hands yet", it begs the question; what was so difficult about making robot hands?

They seem to have perfected other, more complicated parts of the android anatomy. The eyes, the central nervous system. No complaints from Brolin and company after a night with two cyborg saloon harlots. Let's face it, if their butts looked like those hands Westworld would be out of business in a week.
