Futurworld

Three years after the events of Westworld the park has been relaunched but trust in its safety is still low. Chuck Browning (Peter Fonda) and Tracy Ballard (Blythe Danner) are two high profile journalists invited by Delos for an all access tour and to report back on things hoping it will fix things.

No good will come of this.

This direct sequel spends a chunk of the early section repeating much of the first movie only this time showing the dubious delights of Futureworld: the space themed adventure/sex tourism experience.

When it finally gets to the investigative stuff there's more meat to the story and this is better than the first movie but still slim pickings. There's an awful lot of climbing around tunnels and walkways in a factory.

There's an OK conspiracy plot but it's flimsily delivered and the two leads are just treading water. Danner has very little to do.

I was expecting a terrible sequel but it's a slight improvement. Mostly it lacks any kind of charismatic antagonist. Yul Brinner comes back but only for a short dream sequence.

Mediocre 5/10
