The team has been dispatched to the expensive... read more read more... theme park Westworld on the remote island of Delos, to find out what caused the park's robots to go berserk and begin killing the cash customers. They discover that Duffy (Arthur Hill), creator of Westworld, has retooled his park into Futureworld, a supposedly "fail safe" recreational mecca. In truth, he is scheming to replace all of the world leaders with robot clones, the better to take over the globe. Yul Brynner, the steely-eyed cowboy android from Westworld, makes a brief return appearance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    The cast may be good, but this sequel to Westworld is pretty much the same as the first, except it's slower and less exciting.

    Not as good as the first but it?s still a pretty good sequel!

    Peter Fonda plays a reporter who returns to the Westworld theme park, now Futureworld where it seems there was a might wee bit of unpleasantness, But that's all fixed now. Fixed now. Faxed now. Faxed cow. Haxed how. Black Sow. Hacksaw. Slackjaw. Aaaiiieeeeeeee!

    Westworld is a better movie. It's more original. Yul Brynner is back for no good reason. He was creepy in Westword but here I think he's just in a silly dream sequence.

    It just wasn't as exciting as Westworld was & maybe it's because I'm more of a Western fan.Futureworld was real boring at times.I was hoping to see Yul Brynner back as the evil cowboy android but he was only in the movie for like a minute or 2 & I think it was mainly in clips fro... read morem Westworld so that was a bummer.It might be worth watching once or twice but Futureworld is no Westworld

    I have not seen Westworld so I don't know if it is anything like the first but I was pleasantly pleased with this film. The plot was really interesting and the acting was decent. I really liked all the diffirent worlds that you could visit. It was cool how they had all the costum... read morees that you could change into in the Medival world. It was cool how all the robots in the world were run by robots. Everything was pretty awesome except when Tracz runs down the stair to tell Chunk that she had a bad dream. It was a pretty pointless scene since we had seen the people dressed like imperial guards from Star Wars take them away. The costumes were pretty stupid for the medical people. I liked Harry and I wish he didn't die, I bet Clark is all alone know. I didn't understand the scene where Tracz is hooked up to the brain wave machine, I guess it had something to do with the first movie. I liked this movie because it had a diffrent plot instead of robots just trying to take over the world.

    maybe as good as westworld but probably not that good i give 3 stars for petter fonda giving the guy the finger at the end

    Very different movie. It was little wierd, but its a movie to watch on tv. It was filmed in the 70s, so it's little different.

    Not as enjoyable as Westworld, but still slightly interesting. Fonda and Danner are what make this slightly better than it really is. The story is basically a retread of Westworld, even down to the inclusion of Brynner. (Wouldn't they have left out the deadliest of robots when... read more they reopened the place?) But, it is still cool to see him marching around with hatred in his glowing eyes.

You'd think this would be a worthy sequel, but it ain't.
