You'd think this would be a worthy sequel, but it ain't.

Audience Reviews for Futureworld

Jan 02, 2016

Very disappointing sequel that is best avoided.

Strange things are afoot once again at the Delos resorts in the Westworld sequel, Futureworld. This time Peter Fonda and Blythe Danner star as two intrepid reports who are send to the Delos theme parks as part of a PR campaign to show off the newly upgraded and improved operations, including the addition of a Futureworld park; but they soon discover that things are a little too efficient and controlled. While Danner gives a good performance, the rest of the cast is rather bland. And the plot is pretty formulaic, with a lot of standard tropes about robots and evil corporations. A bit of a generic thriller, Futureworld is mundane and unimpressive.

An unworthy sequel to Westworld, Futureworld is bland as hell. There are no memorable scenes whatsoever, action sequences are something out of the 20s, actors all seem bored and don't deliver an gist of emotion, overlong, the plot despite having great ideas, doesn't go anywhere and so on and so on. A complete miss and a bit of an insult to the original's extravaganza.

It just wasn't as exciting as Westworld was & maybe it's because I'm more of a Western fan.Futureworld was real boring at times.I was hoping to see Yul Brynner back as the evil cowboy android but he was only in the movie for like a minute or 2 & I think it was mainly in clips from Westworld so that was a bummer.It might be worth watching once or twice but Futureworld is no Westworld
