The team has been dispatched to the expensive theme park Westworld on the remote island of Delos, to find out what caused the park's robots to go berserk and begin killing the cash customers. They discover that Duffy (Arthur Hill), creator of Westworld, has retooled his park into Futureworld, a supposedly "fail safe" recreational mecca. In truth, he is scheming to replace all of the world leaders with robot clones, the better to take over the globe. Yul Brynner, the steely-eyed cowboy android from Westworld, makes a brief return appearance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

gives sequels a bad name

You'd think this would be a worthy sequel, but it ain't.

Fine sequel to 'Westworld' has robots replacing humans.

The cast may be good, but this sequel to Westworld is pretty much the same as the first, except it's slower and less exciting.

Not as good as the first but it?s still a pretty good sequel!

Peter Fonda plays a reporter who returns to the Westworld theme park, now Futureworld where it seems there was a might wee bit of unpleasantness, But that's all fixed now. Fixed now. Faxed now. Faxed cow. Haxed how. Black Sow. Hacksaw. Slackjaw. Aaaiiieeeeeeee!

Westworld is a better movie. It's more original. Yul Brynner is back for no good reason. He was creepy in Westword but here I think he's just in a silly dream sequence.
