The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Westworld, Season 1 (2016)

Starring: Anthony Perkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Thadie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Angela Sarafyan, Shannon Woodward, Jimmi Simpson, Luke Hemsworth, Sidse Babett Knudesen

Premise:
An amusement park where people can live out their fantasies with artificial robots in an Old West theme.

My Take:
I was basically hooked from the first episode. It is extremely layered and in depth with multiple timelines and several story lines being told all at once (complete with many flashbacks too). At times it can get a be convoluted to piece it all together. But there are plenty of surprises along the way and the payoff is worth it while setting up an intriguing second season.

Rating: So Good
