Westworld started off as a cool concept i wanted to try out. No prior knowledge, except for the fact that Westworld is a world created for people to act just like they want without any consequences. In other words, my expectations were nonexistent.
*EXPLAINING OF PLOT, BUT NO SPOILERS* The creatures of which people can kill, rape, hurt, etc. Are extremely realistic robots, made to look just like humans. However, they act as npc's with somewhat of a set amount of answers and dialogue, or that is what we would like to think.
*END OF EXPLANATION*
The story touches in on the possibilities of artificial intelligences, and where morals and ethics might need to be put into consideration, when using and being near technology. Are we too self centered to ever believe that something non-human could have a conscious.
The first season was absolutely amazing. It made me sick and nauseous, because of the realistic portrayal of these robots, and the cruelty of humans. To see something so horrifyingly disgusting being done towards human-like creatures, might seem far fetched in real life, when in reality it is not.
I do believe that, as well as many other movies and series, there are things we can learn from this fictive story, that might not be so unrealistic in our society.
To end this little review, i must say I got a little disappointed with the second and third season, where things spiralled out of control, the drama was all over the place, and the character developments seemed rushed and not scripted well enough. The first season is unforgettable, the two others, are unfortunately not.
Thousands of points on all seasons for special effects, vfx, cgi, etc. And just the beautiful scenery and cinematography. I was mind-blown throughout the whole series. This goes for the film music too.
I'd love to give this amazing series a 9 or maybe even a 10, if it wasn't for the rapid decline in quality from season one.
