He's been hit and miss for a while now and more misses than hits if we're being honest.

Looks like a Matrix bite just on a smaller scale.

Is this a good movie or did it need to be remade into this TV show?
It's a great movie. Dated as fukk (obviously) but it's the precursor for "Jurassic Park".
The series seems mostly the same but just watching the trailer I see a few obvious differences. The series shows more of the "behind the scenes" stuff on how they run the park and make the robots, the movie was mostly about the park after the robots go crazy.
Also the original Man In Black (the villain) was played by Yul Brynner and was a straight up killer. The Man In Black in the series is played by Ed Harris and he seems more like a revolutionary.

Cool, since you seen the movie and liked it. How far can they take this concept as far as a series? Is this a good idea to you or is it like possibly messing it up?
There being a good movie out there makes me even less excited. Maybe I should just watch that. I mean it's HBO so I'll check it out but I'm not high on what I seen so far.
They can take the concept very far. The original movie was called "West World" but the theme park had two other areas, one based on the Roman Empire and another based on a Medieval Empire.
Not to mention, while the concept is the same the movie and series are two different perspectives. The series seems to be focusing on the robots and how they feel, and the moral dilemma of creating AI solely to serve humans....vs the movie which basically turned into a horror flick in the end.

Trailer seemed to portray a fake world for people's minds while their bodies are held in captivity. Even the line about if you can't tell it's not real does it matter is similar to Morpheus explaining the Matrix. 'What is real?' That doesn't seem like territory The Matrix has already covered?
