Trivia

The CGI hand which appears in the film is Pixar president Ed Catmull's. He had previously scanned a life cast of his hand as a short film. See more »

Goofs

Near the beginning of the film, Mr. Duffy recounts the sequence of events of the Westworld incident. His presentation does not match the events of the previous film. Specifically, the Gunslinger was not the first robot to kill a guest. See more »

This Is A Great Sequel To Westworld!
31 May 2007 | by (.: Fiendish Writings in the Dark :.) – See all my reviews

Years after the Westworld disaster, the folks who brought you Westworld haver reformed, reinvested, and now bring you Futureworld.

It sounds more corny than it is. Actually, this is a deserving sequel, with some great elements, and an intriguing story. While some of the original charm is lacking, they more than make up for it with an emboldened story line, and better effects. Not GREAT effects, but better effects.

When the folks who are remaking the classic Westworld get ready for a sequel, I do hope they look to this one to get a few pointers on what to do. This features some good performances, a few wonderful elements, and a solid grasp of robotics (for its time).

I can't wait to see what the remakes can do!

This rates an 8.4/10 (just like the original) from...

the Fiend :.
