Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (36% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 5.9 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.

Two years after the Westworld tragedy in the Delos amusement park, the corporate owners have reopened the park following over $1 billion in safety and other improvements. For publicity purposes, reporters Chuck Browning and Tracy Ballard are invited to review the park. Just prior to arriving, however, Browning is given a clue by a dying man that something is amiss.
