It feels like Westworld is what happens when you get a job based on being Christopher Nolan's brother, everyone expects you to blow their minds because you're his brother, so you end up with extremely overwrriten garbage

its not exactly much of a movie either, but its fun in a very corny way. all subsequent properties are abominations, including the original show with the several minute opening that was cancelled before it finished a season due to performance

There are some really good decisions and there are some good ideas with faulty execution and there are some parts which are stupid and should have been cut/replaced/reworked. I think Johnson knows he could have done much better with more time to prepare and rewrite. It was, overall, such a huge mistake to produce these movies on a two-year cycle instead of a three-year cycle.

i thought the first season of westworld was pretty good. each season got dumber and dumber, though, and that kind of tainted the first season because they leaned so hard into the worst parts about it they should've just told basically the same "becoming sentient and escaping" story in different ways in the different parks with the conceit that it was all happening simultaneously (and without the promised land poo poo). if they couldn't do that and make it interesting, then welp it should've been one season

watched jonny mnemonic last night. the 90s techno-schlock was fun and it's just generally refreshing to watch a sci fi action movie with human actors and physical sets. can't pretend I really enjoyed it on its merits, though
