Bad movie, but does have some linkage to the HBO WESTWORLD (SPOLIERS)


I love Blyth Danner and this was beneath her. But this is constant inference in the first season of HBO's WESTWORLD to the value of the park not being in the revenue from the guests, but from the data and info. In this otherwise awful movie, the plot revolves around using the park to collect various forms of data from the human guests and then creating "clones". I am sure the HBO version will not be a similar plot line, but the idea that the corporation had designed beyond the commercial is a theme that HBO will ultimately explore. Wonder if anyone on the current HBO WESTWORLD production team ever saw FUTUREWORLD?

The HBO showrunners obviously based their version of Westworld from the 70s movies, duh.
