The plot of Michael Crichton's Westworld was ripe for having a porno spoof made out of it; I'm just surprised it took them five years to get around to it. SexWorld is the result, and while the film plays up to it's central idea well; I do have to say that the whole thing hasn't worked out as well as it could have done considering the vast scope for ingenuity regarding the sex scenes. The premise of the film works from the idea of a group of people going to 'SexWorld' - a place where they are allowed to live out any sexual fantasy they desire - no matter how strange. We focus on a bus full of people (single and couples) that go to SexWorld hoping for a good time. After the film has established a few back stories via flashback, the group enter SexWorld where they are asked to fill out a form, before a few men in white coats press some buttons and end up making their fantasies come true by pairing them off with the perfect sexual partner. We then cycle through various customers' sessions...
My main gripe with this is that none of the customers really ask for anything strange. There are a million different fetishes out there, but this film doesn't go any further than girl on girl; which is great don't get me wrong, but I could pretty much pick up any XXX film and see some women getting it on together. Another criticism of the film is that the story doesn't really go anywhere; we watch their fantasies and that's about it - would a little malfunction a la Westworld really have been too much to ask for as an ending? Obviously the main draw of this film is the sex scenes; and they are plentiful. The film doesn't dwell on just one or two much either; and we do get to see several. Some of the fantasies are really well done; a scene with a racist white man and a black woman is one of the best. The film is obviously meant to be something of a psychological study and, to give credit where credit is due, it is certainly a lot deeper than most other adult films; although it wont win any awards for depth. Overall, this is a worthwhile flick and porn fans will likely want to track it down, if only to see how the Westworld plot line turns out.
