Watch mediocre movies I've been putting off for the longest time. Y'know, the kinda movies I feel iffy and unsure on. Gives me a chance to at least cross them off the list.

We watched the original Westworld last night. I wouldn't really recommend it but I was curious. It's good, just not great.

Maybe the show is better

I've seen both the original and the new HBO series and the HBO series is a LOT better. The original isn't bad and it's worth watching just to have a foundation. I think both are pretty enjoyable, honestly. The HBO series gets better as it goes on, too.

That's kind of what I expected. The movie is well directed and paced but lacks the depth I've come to expect from android scifi. It just kind of devolves into a monster chase. Great foundation with some wasted potential. I can see a full series taking better advantage of the setting.
