“Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed
in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”

happens in a world free of rules, limits and consequences?
From series creators Jonathan Nolan (Interstellar, The
Dark Knight films) and Lisa Joy (Burn Notice, Pushing
Daisies), and produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot
Productions (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lost, Star
Trek) and Kilter Films, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
brings HBO’s most-watched new series to Blu-ray, DVD and
groundbreaking 4K Ultra HD on November 7, 2017. Featuring

SYNOPSIS: Based on the film written by best-selling author Michael Crichton (ER, Jurassic Park films), Westworld is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and a reimagined past, the series explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.
