Avatar – link to Western Era concept

The movie quickly turns into a cowboy vs. Indians type of picture, recapturing the encounter during the 1800’s only two centuries later in the year 2154. The Navi, in this case the Native Americans are peaceful people who are spiritual and seek only to live in harmony, where’ as the Sky people, or the cowboys are well equipped, vicious and destructive. 

The Navi are assisted in their battle by dinosaur – like creature, which they ride just as horses. 

The sky people, they have the edge with their advancement in weaponry and resources. 

Back to the Future Part 3 

This time the “Doc” and Marty reunite in the old West with a few new additions. The town includes all the traditional western landmarks, including a blacksmith where the Doc sets himself up on mending the infamous DeLorean. The car undertakes some new modifications that really draw out the steam punk theme. The same can be said for the rifle used by the Doc. 

Star Wars – Tatooine 

The planet used in the Star Wars saga resembles that of which has been destroyed. Post-apocalyptic environment and lack of resources have caused human life to minimise. The planet is run by a clan of vile gangsters called the Huts. 

Inhabitance – Humans, Settlers       

                      Huts, Crime Lords

                      Jawas, Scavengers and Traders 

                      Tusken Raiders, The Natives

Wild Wild West – Steam punk theme 

Steam punk concerns itself with Victorian based characters, themes and technology. The idea was to take the resources available and create devices that were impossible to you. This movie elaborated on that in a way, seen through the gadgets and gismos designed by “Artemus Gordon”.

West World – Sci fi western 

The movie quickly shows how no good can come from intrusting a robot with firearms. During 1973 they had quickly adapted the traditional Western genre with the modern day Terminator. The movie represents an unordinary town with unordinary folk, which soon become controlled by its cybernetic inhabitancies.
