I think Westworld is a fantastic movie, one of the best I have ever seen. It is void of clichés, it is low key although strong, it comes across as utterly plausible. And this feeling of plausibility is the highest quality factor in a sci-fi movie.
No contemporary Hollywood billion dollars extravaganca crammed with clichés, lingering sobbing closeups, ubiquitous romantic side plots, inevitable hero-saves-child tear jerking, can make such a strong impression - all this garbage does not exist in Westworld. It is matter-of-fact in its progression of the story. Hard core story telling!
I have a strong feeling of Kubrick when I see Westworld and that is the highest appraisal in my book.
