One can't help but feel upon looking at this promo - for the robot-festooned resort in Michael Crichton's thriller - that you're missing a bit of a lame party. The roaring twenties might have been a more engaging set-up than 'MedievalWorld', and just exactly how many nerdy technicians do you want remote-viewing you while you're humping one of Westworld's plastic prostitutes? If Crichton had seen YouTube coming, he might have rethought this particular aspect. Footage from this sequence was also used in the sequel Futureworld (1976).
