I read the Ludlum book this is allegedly based on. The novel was great, as are all Ludlum books. Hollywood did its usual of thinking they are better than the author. The movie diverged so greatly from the bookit is essentially unrecognizable. Aside from the title and using same named characters from the book, the movie is pointless and boring. The story is lame and the acting terrible. Most of all though was that they took a great story and totally ruined it.
This show sucks. T&A, killing with guns, gratuitous sex, excessive use of the f-bomb all proves it's written by and aimed at little boys who are enchanted with T&A, guns and the f-word. All they can come up with for audience attracton is T&A and killing, just what you'd expect from useless teenage boys whose imagination extends no further than their crotch and the glamor of using guns to kill people they don't like. It presents a world which encourages the most immoral and amoral activity available to the richies who can afford $40K per day to stay there. This is probably what today's super rich would want to do, no doubt having the robots all wear MAGA hats so they can feel good about gunning them down. The whole point of this show seems to be to outdo video games in portraying firearm violence. I hope the next school shooting calls the entire Westworld team into court as accessories for incitement to murder. This show is the benchmark of Hollywood crap. Everybody involved in making this POS should be grossly ashamed of themselves.
My wife and I watched for maybe five minutes. Then I jumped forward a chapter to see if it improved. It didn't. Nothing but pseudo-science drivel and lots of meaningless footage of sunsets, rivers, people and sitar music, which had nothing to do with anything. This movie had nothing to do with quantum mechanics. Go read the Netflix reviews on this POS to get a fuller understanding of how bad it is. Save 77 minutes of your life for something more useful, such as watching grass grow or, even better, watching paint dry. On top of all the lame philosophizing the problems are compounded by the speaker having an unintelligible accent. Just because he is a PhD quantum physicist doesn't mean he knows how to preach it. He had no interest in presenting quantum mechanics, he just wanted to bloviate on about new-age BS and feelings and beliefs and spiritualism. The title is so misleading the makers should be banned from ever handling a camera again.
