I've never seen Westworld, but I ought to. The trailer seems like it's trying a little too hard, y'know? Either delve into the in-universe commercial that slides into the everything-goes-wrong narrative or pitch it as a movie about the same while you show all the deaths in the movie (because apparently someone thought that was worth doing).

Common flaw with trailers of the time, I think. They try to be perfect summaries rather than being a complete mini-story in their own right.
I have seen Westworld (and only barely remember it), so I'm kind of curious to see what changes they make. And I did watch both seasons of Halle Berry's "Extant," so it's not like my artistic threshold is terribly high.
I hadn't heard of Extant until you mentioned it. I guess it was good?
It has a neat premise, and is reasonably well-executed, (and I liked it better than Cloud Atlas), but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're especially fond of Halle Berry. On the plus side, I guess you can add her to the list of people who take risks on making sci-fi stuff.
I was just thinking that. I'd give her 0.7 Cruises on the sci-fi auteur scale and 0.6 Swintons on the sexually confusing pixie-cut scale.
