Synopsis: At the Delos amusement park, you can live as if you were in ancient Rome, at medieval times or in the Far West, thanks to robots that act as you please.
Review: The idea is interesting, especially in a forty years-old movie. Yul Brynner plays a good mechanical cowboy and James Brolin looks like Christian Bale. But the movie focuses too much on showing us the science behind the robots and the amusement park in general (cheap-looking electronics, walls full of blinking lights, magnetic tapes...). A few scenes depict how the customers get into their role, but in between nothing happens. Too bad for one of the few movies directed by Michael Crichton. The Blu-ray transfer is excellent in this French edition.
