No Special Effects Required
I remember seeing West World when it was released, a LONG time ago. The movie makers relied on acting, directing, & editing, rather than special effects to give life to a movie. Neither sci-fi or Yul Brenner were particularly appealing to me back then. This movie changed my views of both. the premise is that a new vacation resort has been created to allow you to go back to one of the time periods you would love to have lived in, & interact with specially created robots that are almost exactly human...like an interactive Disney World for adults. The main character is going to the western themed section of the resort, & just like my luck, things go drastically wrong. Brenner scared the hell out of me. The last half of the movie had me riveted to the screen. At the time it was a very original concept. The acting was good, a few funny scenes in the beginning, & then Brenner, with hardly a word of script, stepped up & stole the show. Loved it then & love it now!
