Anyone watching? It's pretty awesome so far.
I did not see the Yul Brenner movie version, so do not know how it compares.

I really like the show. I kinda wish Netflix would've picked it up so I can binge watch it.

I've seen the show and the original movie.
As you can imagine, the 70's movie is pretty dated now and for sure doesn't hold up to the special effects and whatnot of the series. Also this appears to be taking a much deeper story line with the malfunctioning and how the park and hosts is designed to work.
There are hints sprinkled in the series that it is a continuation of the timeline of the movie (there was a scene where they mentioned in passing there hadn't been a major malfunction in 30 years, etc.).
If you're really into the series, I recommend watching the original move as like a "prequel" of sorts. It shows a lot of the two other parks, Medieval World and Roman World, which may or may not eventually make their way into the series.
If you're not interested in watching, here's the TL;DR spoiler:
A pair of rich businessmen come to Westworld, go whore-hoppin in the brothels, shoot up some bad guys in the saloons, etc. In the movie, the guests couldn't shoot eachother due to heat sensors in their weapons, but it never really addressed if the hosts could kill the guests. It was implied that they just weren't programmed to win the duels I guess. The robots start malfunctioning little by little until one in Medieval World kills a guest in a swordfight. Then the people in the control room start realizing shit's for real and start panicking. In West World, the particularly menacing gunslinger robot (Brenner) goes haywire and kills one of them and hunts down the other one for the climax of the movie.

He's all out of bubble gum!
The movie VICE was made in 2015. So not a classic. It wasn't even a really good movie. But some of you would like it for its' scenes of AI debauchery!

Was thinking the same thing. There was the bank robbery part in one of the episodes where the guy looked kinda like John Marston

The orgy was too much. I don't want any more of this show.
There's something about Evan Rachel Wood that I really like. But not in a golden orgy.

Last episode was difficult to follow. Maybe its what they want but I am having trouble keeping up with who is a guest and who's a host?

I finally started catching on to what is going on this episode. I then went back and skipped around to catch things I might have missed before. Mind blown.
This goes into a lot of it and also some other stuff I didn't previously pick up on. Spoilers, etc.

If you guys stopped watching this, I would highly recommend you start back. If you are like me and like help putting some pieces together, read the blog that Chad linked above after each episode. It's really incredible.

The finale...wow.

Finally watched the original movie and was surprised how much I liked it. Definitely sets the table for the series.
