I saw this film the first time back in 1983, at the age of 10 and was very fascinated. I searched for it for a long time and finally TCM showed it last night - now, 21 years later, and I of course had to catch it... I must say I was amazed how I still very much liked the picture...
Incredible how a 1973, and means 31 year old, film actually looks quite good... I liked the plot, - I mean, of course, I love the Terminator flicks, and I'd be willing to bet more and just single dimes that James Cameron was more than just a little inspired from Westworld when he wrote The Terminator 11 years later....there are quite a lot of similarities, one can almost say that in many ways it is the same film, only Terminator goes on in a major city in daily life, while Westworld goes on in a holiday resort, but other than that, quite a lot of similarities....watch the film, if you can find it - it's very much worth it, and you'll easily see what I mean..
You could debate also that Westworld looks a lot like one of Michael Crichton's more recent successes, Jurassic Park, but here I don't quite agree. Sure, I see the resemblance, but then again I don't think it's THAT much..
For the sheer entertainment, and the fact that this film is actually 31 years old: 8/10
