very different in my opinion. The movie is very Jurassic Park, classic Crichton. The TV adaption, especially the first two seasons have a different tone. Very religious surprisingly enough and including a lot of Meso- and Native-American elements in the first two seasons. Personally I found those seasons much more interesting than the movie. The last two seasons lose most of that unique stuff.

The moral of the movie and show are very different too. Like JP the moral of the movie Westworld is that it is hubris to try to control a complex system and eventually something will (and does) go wrong. The show is much more like Blade Runner with the robots being actually intelligent and like BR the moral is that it is wrong to enslave and give false memories to intelligent beings even if they aren't human.
