The sequel to “Westworld” turns out to be nothing more than another pointless sequel that tries to capture an audience by making a connection to a popular film. “Futureworld” isn’t anyway near as intriguing or as scary as the original.

In “Futureworld”, reporters Chuck Browning (Peter Fonda “3:10 To Yuma”) and Tracy Ballard (Blythe Danner “Meet The Parents”, “The Lucky One”) go to a re-opened Delos facility where you can visit a medieval world, a roman world, a Western world and now a futuristic environment. For a movie called “Futureworld” only a small amount of time is spent in the futuristic segment of the facility. Most of the film has our two reporters scurrying around in tunnels, unearthing ridiculous schemes.

The characters are as dull as they come and the performances are terrible too. The worst combination of character and performance has to be the Chuck Browning character as I didn’t care for the character in the slightest at any point. Yul Brynner from the original “Westworld” has a cameo appearance in a dream sequence but I’m 100% convinced that was only put in there so they could have another way to make this a sequel. The film’s characters ruin the film.

There are a few bits near the beginning that showed the film had potential to showcase intriguing concepts of the future but as it goes on becomes sillier and it looks like they were running out of money because I’m sure the first few scenes had a lot more effects than those nearer the end. “Futureworld” seems like there was a script that was worthless it has to have a few tweaks done so it can be attached to a previous film just to see the light of day. “Westworld” didn’t need a sequel (perhaps a remake though) and this one didn’t surprise me.
