Critic Reviews

Jason Newman

While not as memorable as its predecessor, Futureworld ratchets up the camp, adding samurais, space travel and, most terrifying of all, an erotic dream sequence with Yul Brynner. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Futureworld is a strong sequel to Westworld in which the rebuilt pleasure dome aims at world conquest by extending the robot technology to duplicating business and political figures. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Although not so clever or original as its predecessor, Futureworld is effective. Read full review

Empire Kim Newman

Fonda and Danner — who looked then exactly like her daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow, does now — are likable leads in ’70s futurist leisurewear (why didn’t those tailored jumpsuits catch on?), and some creepy corporate robot action helps (Danner’s gunfight with her robot duplicate), but it’s a lot less exciting than the original and replaces satire with TV-style plotting.

Scott Collura

The made-for-TV feel of the production, bland characters and familiar story leads to a pretty forgettable outing. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The script, which labours under polysyllabic mumbo-jumbo at times, is infantile, while the performances, apart from a sprightly Danner as Fonda's TV cohort, are spineless. Read full review

Richard Eder

A film about robots and, evidently, for robots. It is as much fun as running barefoot through Astroturf. Read full review
