Futureworld (1976)
Richard T. Heffron directs Blythe Danner, Peter Fonda and Arthur Hill in this sequel to the iconic sci-fi blockbuster Westworld.
OK… so in set-up, look and philosophy it may be wearing the better known movie’s hand me downs but I actually think Futureworld is slightly better than its more famous progenitor. Fonda and Danner are bigger stars (the latter excelling in a thankless Lois Lane role), there is a ton more action and paranoia, even the score is more energetic. So it’s all a bit cheesier… I love cheddar… And who exactly is watching either film in 2016 for their artfulness? Personally I can’t wait to revisit this version of Delos, got my return ticket booked.
