Westworld
 

Watched the first episode last night... I really liked it.

Although it's a remake JJ Abrams is knocking this one out of the park.

Thoughts?

Yeah gonna give this one a try. Been advertised a lot right now...

Its on tv tonight for me - will be watching ;0

PVR'ed but didn't watch it yet. Will tonight. It looks really, really good.

Trailer looked promising

I saw the first episode - Not sure - I never liked westerns, but I love sci-fi - I'm not sure what to make of it...

I agree with Eddy, normally am not fond of anything Western. So far its really good.

I liked it and never seen the original but want to now

I will wait the second episode to give an opinion.

So fucking good. Ed Harris scary as hell and Evan Rachel Wood is wildly attractive.

The score is great as well, anyone else notice that honky-tonk piano version of "Black Hole Sun"? :thumbsup:thumbsup

Will watch ...

it was like an introduction episode, lets give it few more to see where this is going

Yeah noticed that as well.

Pilot episode was beyond awesome. Future dark side of being a human in paradise/hell world. Nudity and violence just makes this sci-fi universe come alive.
One of the best pilots ever seen. Can't wait for more episodes.

Yes, very good. I thought the robots looked really realistic. I almost thought they were people. I was impressed :thumbsup

Looking forward to seeing it. At least they have found skilled actors instead of the wooden ones who only look good.

Top notch sets, acting and effects...

But they jumped the shark by introducing the bad elements waaaaay toooo sooon.

My God, let's settle in, get to know the place a little better before they spring out the bad bots. Build characters, and situations, then sprinkle in those evil bad bots. This series is new to a whole new generation so why just drop the needle on the record?

What's the rush rush rush???

'I'll watch a few more, but not impressed with the debut. I trust it will get better.

Love the original movie.

I'm still waiting for the remake of Logan's Run and Soylent Green. I think Logan would make an awesome series.... all building up to a big climax at the end.

BTW, J.J. was the exec producer... didn't have much to do with it other than writing a check and possibly approving the rushed script. J.J. is a great action director but knows jack shit about drama and story telling. If you don't believe me, just go see Star Wars VII. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I honestly thought the trailer and the acting looked bad..but if ppl are saying it's good I'll check it out

So far so good. Will be watching ep2

I'm interested to see where they are going to take things. It seems like they gave a lot away in the first episode, so I'm curious what kind of major reveals might be coming up, or if it just going to turn into a basic good-guy bad-guy back and forth kind of thing.

Also, I am wondering a lot about the world outside of the theme park. It feels a bit constricted that these people can come and go, but we never see the world they are coming and going from.

Very goods show. I watch 1 and 2. Very much possibilites.

I would fuck 2 hosts. Thens at night I would try to fuzz them. Say weird stuffs and see their reaction.

What would you do theres?

I would get Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) alone in a room and have them go interracial lesbian.

Ok is the world actual size or the size of the one planted in the room?
Do tourists go as actual bodies or only their minds?

Asking because I have arguments against all of these...

Brainistaken

awesome new show

Episode 2 was even better, have a feeling this is going to be the new GAT

2 down. Loving it!

I watched the first episode finally and was hooked immediately. Really well done. I am a fan of the original movie but this is a really cool looking update.

So yes, same question: What is that big thing in the middle of the room? Are people actually transported into it which is where they live out the fantasies? It would make sense in a way because you don't want planes or other Anachronisms to ruin the experience for the guests. But then again, maybe its just an elaborate high-tech display. I think the later is correct.

Anyway, so far, great show. Lots of cool twists and turns, and the acting is great.

Didn't see ep2 yet.

I think it's well done, but I see a problem arising from the "no stakes" factor. If everyone being killed is an AI, how can there be any sense of tension? At least on GOT and Walking Dead, the fear of losing a character is always giving you a sense of dread. In Westworld, if one of the robots dies, we know they'll be back.

It's written by the guy who made Jurassic Park. This is the x rated version of Jurassic park. If I recall everything starts out nice and cute and then quickly goes wildly out of control

They dont have Yul Brynner in it...

Obviously the robots are about to revolt and start killing the guests.

I don't think that's what the show is about. That's what the crappy B movie from the 70's is about.

The focus of the TV version is the exploration of sentience and what it means to be human. If robots start killing guests, how could they drag that out for five seasons? The park would be shut down. I think Westworld is attempting to be much more cerebral than you give it credit for.

Unfortunately, Yul died in 1985.

Perhaps robots will kill people but park wont shutdown, instead corporation which running it will hide it as there is too much money in stake.

He did? God damn, i didn't got memo.

the original movie was awesome, gonna check this out just because of that

DEF worth a watch, there are many directions it could go from here I won't venture a guess as to which ones itll take but it is one of those good sci fi premises that makes you think...question things....I am looking forward to future episodes.

PS dont overlook the 30 yr veterAan who seems to be vying for a way to stay in westworld forever....I expect he is going to provide some surprises

Yep!

Did you also notice they played "Paint it Black" by Rolling Stones? (played in the scene where lots of people get shot in the street)

It has Anthony Hopkins and a personal favorite, Jimmi Simpson. I'm sold.
