The Blu-ray release of the fourth and final season of Westworld is highly recommended. Michael Crichton was a writer with a keen sense of suspense, drama, science fiction and moral dilemmas. He created the idea of the futuristic amusement park Westworld where robots entertain humans. This has now partly become a reality, such as in Legoland in Denmark. Many production processes have been robotized, the computer has become an indispensable part of most daily activities and the ChatGPT program has been in the news in recent months. A handy tool to write articles fully automatically using artificial intelligence. In addition to being a threat to Google, for example, could this also become a direct threat to all writers of My Series?
As a viewer you are very quickly drawn into the complex story and it is crucial to keep paying attention at all times.
In addition to being a strong and beautifully designed series, Westworld is also a series that raises various moral questions. An amusement park where visitors can let off steam to their heart's content on various robots that cannot be distinguished from real people, was it right to enjoy that? And is it normal to love those robots with strong human features? And what if the robots don't want to be turned off because they also seem to develop feelings based on all their memories, isn't that logical and very human? The fourth season of Westworld starts seven years after the previous season and continues the battle between humanity and robots in eight episodes. As a viewer, you are very quickly drawn into the complex story and it is crucial to keep paying attention at all times.
It is now clear that this fourth season has also become the last. The season takes place seven years after the previous one, and also jumps ahead 23 years in scenes, but there are more alternative future scenarios that come along. The subtitle is The Choise, which deals with themes such as free will and power. But it also revolves around revenge, violence and various mysteries leading to a, for me, not entirely satisfying ending. However, the series remains fascinating because of the themes and dilemmas it continues to evoke. It's not all convincing, and sometimes you are left confused as a viewer, but the series remains good. Furthermore, the acting of Evan Rachel Wood (True Blood) and Ed Harris (Empire Falls) is as always very strong. It is dangerous to say more about the story, firstly to give away some of the plot and secondly to prevent this review from becoming completely incomprehensible due to the many plot twists and surprising developments. This fourth season of Westworld is also highly recommended.
The Blu-ray release has become another strong release from Warner Brothers. The eight episodes, around fifty minutes each, can be found on three discs, so the picture and sound are perfect. The extras are fun and varied. First, for each episode, there are five to six minute movies about the creation of the episode with an interesting behind-the-scenes look. In Westworld On the Road, the beautiful locations are highlighted in almost seventeen minutes. Westworld: an Exploration of Humanity is a look back at the various realities of Westworld by various actors and creators. Finally, a five-minute tour around the set is titled Westworld's Temperance. There is an English, German and French soundtrack.
