Awesome 70s sci-fi.

An uneven but interesting classic sci-fi film. Michael Crichton's bad directing hurts the film, mostly in the form of awkward pacing. Yul Brynner has by far the best performance as the evil gunslinger robot, James Brolin is good in his role, and Richard Benjamin is passable, otherwise the ensemble cast isn't noteworthy. Overall it seems like there are around 20 minutes of a great film, and the rest is filler.

Mr Bean gets chased through the desert, gets thirsty, and feeds discharge to robot prostitute who subsequently gets that melted mouth feeling. Epic.

Not good by any means but I love the idea of it and I love Yul Brynner.

The robots at this futuristic amusement park may look completely human, but the logistics involved in maintaining them isn't going 2 score any points 4 verisimilitude. And while Brynner is a perfectly creepy predecessor 2 Cameron's Terminators, the story's Computers-Take-Over storyline feels as routine as the overly long set-up. Crichton does provide some necessary subtext in terms of dissolute (& dissolution of) humanity & parallels 2 slavery, but only the former really makes sense.

Full of plotholes, some horrible acting and direction, but the concept makes for a great sci-fi classic.

Dated, but still neat.

A satisfying sci-fi/western that in retrospect seems to be a training ground for the concept that would eventually turn into the extremely successful Jurassic Park.

Yul Brenner as a the Terminator before Arnold. Good flick.

What is the fuss all about? This movie is terrible! IT JUST STOPS

It was quite enjoyable. I mean, obviously the whole thing is ludicrous but that just made it more fun. The only thing that really annoyed me was the goofy "western" music that played at some points.

Yet another film with an interesting premise that is completely wasted afterwards. Interesting to watch though, but drowns in clichés from time to time...

Very fun journey to the 1970's World Of Tomorrow, where people travel in hovercrafts, fight robot knights and cowboys and sleep with robot prostitutes, all while sporting feathered hair and really tight bellbottomed pants. Spectacularly ridiculous and fun.

Yul Brynner looks freakin crazy

Sometimes you just want to see Yul Brynner's face melt off.

A seriously creepy thriller by sci-fi writer turned director Michael Crichton. It has little something that sets it apart from usual sci-fi movies of that era. 70's mustache riding Benjamin was a fitting lead, but Yul Brynner is a real star here. He and the soundtrack are the reasons why this film is so creepy. While it's not a great movie, it is thought provoking. And I'm pretty sure that it inspired Terminator directly.

At a futuristic wild west theme park, the robots go haywire and a malfunctioning gunslinger android relentlessly pursues the park guests. Enjoyable combination of science fiction and westerns with lots of gunplay and some nice slow motion squib shots. There's a bunch of dumb comedy mixed in for no real reason, but Yul Brynner uses his piercing glare to great effect as the robot killer.

Cameron and Spielberg both proved that all Crichton needed was a better director.

Average movie, brilliant premise.

lots of people wanting a remake of this, I disagree. This is a classic if I ever saw one. Cheesy in parts, goofy in others, but awesome because of yul brynner, oh man is that guy creepy. What a great character this was. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, the beginning had me wondering a bit, I won't lie, but once it gets into it, the movie is quite intense.

Take great actors and an amazing idea and makes it boring. The tone is inconsistent and the quality is very dated. Give this idea to a quality director to remake.

Great concept and while the execution is flawed it has that special something that makes it a captivating experience anyway.

Crichton gives his _Jurassic Park_ premise an initial run-through with this fun sci-fi thriller. Well done on an obviously tight budget, with Brynner great as a prototype of Schwarzenegger's Terminator character: an android who keeps coming back again and again every time it's "killed".
