       | Westworld is an amazing little movie for another reason for me:
       | it worked so well on the tension arc during the whole movie from
       | the first minute to the last it just keeps on cranking it up bit
       | by bit. Those footsteps...

       | Great film.

       | There's a scene early on where they explain how the guns work.
       | It's thermal based I think. So if the gun is pointing at
       | something warm like a human body it won't shoot, meaning you can
       | shoot anyone and it will only fire if they're not actually a
       | human being.

       | I was astonished to find this was not a plot point later on.
