A Medical Doctor, Crichton wrote many popular novels (and a few meh non-fiction books). Disclosure, Congo, Sphere, Jurassic Park and The Lost World, The Great Train Robbery, The 13th Warrior (eaters of the dead), Timeline, Andromeda Strain, Terminal Man are all movies based on his books. I've read all his novels, most of them more than once. Growing up he was my favorite author other than maybe Tolkien. Truly innovative but he flatly disagreed with other scientists on the issue of Climate Change. Sadly, he died at a relatively young age about 10 yrs ago. Several books somehow came out after he passed. I could tell he wrote them though. His style is unmistakable. I could also tell they weren't quite a tight and polished as his early work as he was sick whilst writing. I hope his estate gets royalties for Westworld on HBO.
One thing I love about Michael Crichton is the message he tries to send via his stories that you don't expect. Like with West World, he was telling us that the computer technology we were developing was, for all intents and purposes, an artificial form of simple organisms. And like all organisms, there were threats to how they functioned, specifically viruses. Only with machines, the virus was not a physical manifestation, but a virtual one in the form of computer code.
This film was absolutely ahead of the game!! As soon as the first trailer for the HBO show dropped I watched the Crichton film to prepare and ooooh boy it stands up against the very best.
It’s honestly a pretty slow, boring movie. That’s not to say there wasn’t great sci fi in that era- 2001 A Space Odyssey came out in 1968 after all (slow, but definitely not boring). But the original Westworld felt like half a movie - intro to Westworld, malfunctions discovered, robot chasing humans, robot finally disabled - without the deeper meaning or hints at bigger implications, or drastic character character development, or even just plausible futurism (robotic people as a whole are arguably less plausible than elements of Nolan’s version, like synthetic muscle, bone, skin tissue being 3D printed). I understand it was a different time, with different current tech and visions of the future, but comparing it to say, a James Bond movie from the same era, it’s a pretty “ehhhh” movie.
I watched this movie in 2017, in the open air near the Brynner mansion in Vladivostok (Russia), together with Rock Brynner, the son of Yul Brynner, it was an incredible evening.
This was the first film to have cgi, also I’m very happy it’s on HBO MAX. At the same time it makes sense that they have it due to the series of Westworld. Too bad I have this incredible film on DVD, so I don’t have to rely on a streaming service. I liked that they made a modern trailer for this film.
Arnold has specifically said in interviews that Yul Brynner's Gunslinger in Westworld was his main influence/inspiration for how to play the Terminator.
Your wrong. There's actually a movie before Terminator that terminated got its thing from they actually got it from a short sci-fi film it has to do with the outer limits and the writer for those little tiny Productions back in the 60s
Saw a part of this back in the 90s as a kid. So happy to find it years later and watch the whole thing. Fittingly, it is the first film to use computer graphics.
@@Satano99I think so too....did you read that somewhere? I think Sam Worthington would be a great new yul Brynner gunslinger in the new Westworld movie they plan to make....as sam Worthington has played a half man machine in one of the terminator movies!

2022: WESTWORLD: Although this movie was released in 1973 (nearly 50 years ago), it is WAY AHEAD of its time. This movie is a hybrid between "Jurassic Park," "The Terminator" and "Frankenstein."
Oh yeah cause nobody knows about that little tv show called West World right? Oh jeez I wonder what’s going on with the robots. It’S a CoMpLeTe MyStErY!!!1
Seems to be a modern trend in trailers nowadays - or at least what people perceive as "the whole damn movie." It's almost 50 years old, so the robots aren't a mystery, and they were big parts they missed out, as well as a very successful show that's pretty much spoiled the concept of the movie.

That movie was awesome. The concept was way beyond its era and incredible acting by the legend Yul Brynner. The trailer is excellent by the way. Honorable mentions to its cousin: FutureWorld
- Wonderful, wonderful Film! This is clearly a pearl from U.S. - It is thought-provoking Film as well in certain ways, reflecting e.g. now more advanced robot-technology. There well might occur unpleasant side-effects also related to "responsibility" given to more advanced AI-applications, for example. - But this Film raises other kind of questions as well (subjectively); of psychological and moral type. Who bears responsibility? Of what? How? In what contexts? What means leisure? Am I aiming somewhere? Why? What means to be a human? - This Film belongs to the "Classic of the Cassics" - series regarding American Film Industry. - After seeing this Film, I really cannot imagine anyone else in the role of the "Gunslinger" than Mr. Yul Brynner. I just cannot forget this Film, just cannot. - This rare Film is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to watch! -

Correct me if I am wrong. I think this movie was way ahead of it's time.. At a time when human beings were just beginning to understand what a computer device was . These movie makers created the plausible future..
I never understood those saying season 3 was bad because it wasn't a western setting. This show isn't about being a western...It's about the fight for freedom. For humanity and hosts freedom , together and not against them. But don't worry, given the ending of season 3 we are back in western (post apocalyptic this time) for season 4...
Uh yeah, back in 1973 this was a very popular and beloved sci-fi movie. I have seen it over 40 times as it was one of my favorites. Old timers like me remember.
Saw this as a kid and loved it. Was so excited to see the HBO series, but didn’t do it for me. Amazing acting, but robots as heroes and heroines? I can’t become emotionally invested in a robot.
The days when science fiction was not just explosions and special effects. There was some intelligence behind it. Films like Solyent Green, Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run and The Forbin Project.

Sounds good. They should make a series out of this.
If it's not a digital adaptation. They'd have to use old 35mm film cameras, because using film effects on digital would suck

Not gonna lie I thought it was a prequel made to look old , that’s how good it looks
God Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, and James Brolin. Jesus what a cast. The fact that this film will be 50 years old in the next 3 years is crazy.

I love that this movie getting the respect it deserves. It was really ahead of its times! And we are closer to it then a lot of others.
More importantly it's an esoteric depiction about our world...
Science fiction movies at this time were the best. These movies even outrank some of today’s blockbusters.

No it isn’t necessarily the best. It’s because producers today want to stretch out a story beyond its scope
I hate people who say old things are better than today's things. They were good at their time maybe, but compared to today's stuff, a big fucking no.
I watched this movie in 2017, in the open air near the Brynner mansion in Vladivostok (Russia), together with Rock Brynner, the son of Yul Brynner, it was an incredible evening.
That is so cool. What was Rock’s reaction?
Yul Brynner, by the way, was born in Vladivostok. Just like me. Pretty proud of him.
That piano tho. Gotta see the original movie too. Westworld has become my favourite show.
It’s an amazing movie

This movie was ahead of its time... We had a copy on Betamax and then one on VHS as well
It is so weird to see the same locations from the tv show, but in a 1970s vibe. Can’t wait to watch this
That's because this was filmed in the 70s.
Because the movie was done first in the 70s.
Because it was from 1970s
Lol. Its because it is in the 70s
So the TV series westworld is based on this?
Better than the TV series imo
Probably the biggest influence on James Cameron's Terminator (and sequel)
Yul Brynner was great in this movie.
That scene at 1:00 made me play the piano piece that they always did at every reset in Season 1
This movie is absolutely fantastic.
This movie still holds up incredibly well.
THE one (TV) movie from my childhood that left a lasting impression
Ahhh, the genius of Michael Crichton.
Yul Brynner is Hollywood's first cyborg, long before the Terminator existed.
only like 10 years
Not cyborg
