Idea begins like in One Piece: A pioneer died has left behind his legacy with a quest. Then a classic abatement on the one side the protagonist versus the other side the bad guy who wants to commercialize the idea from his former employer.

Set in the year 2045, the world is plagued by climate change and overpopulation, causing people to seek refuge in the virtual reality world of the OASIS. After its creator, James Halliday, passed away, he hid three Easter eggs within the virtual world, with the prize for finding them being control over the OASIS and a vast fortune. Wade Watts, an 18-year-old "Gunter" (egg hunter) and his allies, as well as the nefarious Innovative Online Industries, led by Nolan Sorrento, compete to find the eggs. The film is filled with pop culture references and CGI, but the story and characters are thin and not particularly engaging. The actors, including Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, and Ben Mendelsohn, give solid performances, but the romance is forced and the villain is cartoonish. The visuals are spectacular at times, but the final battle becomes tedious. The references and nods to pop culture are fun, but ultimately the movie is just an average, CGI-filled adventure with a thin story.

O longa trabalha com das realidades, uma virtual - cujo é a principal -, e outra na qual estamos mais "habituados". Elas intercalam bem, e o clímax é um bom exemplo disso. A CGI é fora do normal, podendo pôr em prática todas as ambições artísticas da direção de arte como um todo. também convence muito bem com as expressões faciais, destruições, e o trabalho feito com as cores está redundante em HDR. O figurino tá sensacional, assim como a caracterização de todos os personagens.

A trama também é muito bem fundamentada. Nada além da conta pro proposito do longa, o que não me incomodou em nenhum momento. Os personagens são bons, com características que acrescentam no plot e personalidades criveis, apesar de um ou outro dialogo expositivo que tenha me incomodado um pouco.

De forma geral, Ready Player One é ambicioso, épico e um dos, senão o maior, crossover da historia. O filme como um todo é uma homenagem a cultura pop, o que é simplesmente "breathtaking" pra quem acompanha esse universo desde criança.

I have say I think Spielberg did a great job in adapting the story to the big screen. Everything really trots along at a fast pace and there were loads of game/movie references to enjoy which makes it worth repeat viewing. I am glad they changed the bits they did; a fast cgi car race to open the movie was a much better idea than showing the protagonist playing joust, and did we really want a segment of him reciting the script of "wargames" to win the second key? As it's Spielberg it never got too violent and we were always reminded the "deaths" were taking place in the safety of Oasis. Overall a really good popcorn movie, and a great adaptation that kept the essentials from the book whilst improving them for the screen. An extra point for not bashing me over the head with SJW propaganda, which has sadly been the case with a lot of the movies/tv shows/games I've seen in the last five years.… Expand

Bought the movie when it was on sale, and just watched it in 2020. Boy, what a blast! If anything, the movie improves on the book, in my opinion.

If anything, the movie improves on the book, in my opinion. The story is simple enough, but isn't it true for 95% of movies and books, if you only consider the plot? The plot of Pride and Prejudice can be summed up in a couple lines, but it's the characterization that matters. In this case, the highlight is the homage paid to pop culture in the 80s, nostalgia lane for me and many others. The huge number of references makes up at least half the movie; if this turns you off or you couldn't care less, then I suggest you just watch something else. The rest is a thrilling chase for a mystery buried deep in a world wide VR simulation, that will bestow real world power on the one to unravel it.
People complain that the action sequences are confusing. Uh? Since most are set in VR, it only makes sense that everything is more bombastic than it is in reality (the action scenes in reality were much more sedate), and yet I had absolutely zero problems discerning what was going on at any given time. The characters are relatively simple, true - just like the one in the first Star Wars. Since when is it a problem, for a film that does not aim to be a psychological masterpiece? I was hooked by the action and by the masterful description of this dystopia where VR is the only escape for most of the populace - and at least for the poverty part, it does not sound too far fetched, considering the ongoing trend for the wealth divide between the top 10% earners and the rest.
In my opinion, the real reason most haters bash the movie is that it does not bow down to SJW zealotry. "What? How dare Spielberg cast nerds in a positive light? He should make clear that nerds are only losers who harass women! Whaaat? The protagonist is male and his (super badass) female partner openly tells him that he is the most qualified person for the task at hand? No way, every single movies must make clear that grrls are better than boyz at everything they do and some! And where is the required homage paid to homosexuals, with the canonical same-sex kissing? Where are the non-binary people? We need to review bomb this movie, it's toxic!".
Either that, or they complain about the changes made to adapt the book for the big screen (different media, different requirements, I see a lot of respect for the source material) or they really don't dig the 80s references. If that's the case, yes, they watched the wrong movie, but why pick THIS one, among 10.000 others?

TL;DR: if you love video games and 80s culture, if you enjoy a lot of action going on and can accept a straight white male protagonist who is not deeply flawed on every level, go for it. If you have read the book and the idea that the quests are different incenses you, you also may want to steer clear.… Expand

Spielberg zuendet nicht mehr so ganz wie frueher. Woran liegts? Bisschen viel Zeit vergangen? Der Herr alt geworden? Koennte daran liegen, dass man sich zwischen Projekten zu sehr ausruht und “muede” wird.
Bisher haben Spielbergs Mini-Meisterwerke immer durch etwas Ungesehenes, Ungehoertes ueberrascht. In “Ready Player One” gab’s eigentlich alles schon mal. Eine Prise Virtual Reality, ‘ne Menge CGI, Gaming untergewürzt und die 80er Leuts mit der Mukke gleich mit abgeholt.
Nee. Funktioniert leider so nicht mehr.
Wo ist John Williams? Wo sind die epischen Filmmusik Stuecke, die man sein Leben lang nicht mehr vergisst (Jurassic Park z.B.)? Und so weiter und so weiter…
“Ready Player One” gefaellt trotzdem noch. Schoene Geschichte, bildgewaltig erzaehlt. Leider kein natives 4K! Geht heute mal gar nicht! Der Kauf der 4K UHD kann man sich also gerne schenken. BluRay reicht. Bei Apple gibt's passend eh nur HD.
Der naechste Bruch: DTS! Dolby Atmos? Hallo? Wo ist das von Spielberg mit erfundene und viel gepriesene Soundsystem (Jurassic Park again), was heute mal wieder alle nur durcheinander bringt, statt begeister? Etliche AV-Receiver und Soundbars bringen Kaeufer in Bezug auf das Ton Hin und Her nur noch durcheinander und jetzt faellt seine groeßte Saeule dazu auch noch um. Naja…
Waere es DTS pur (egal ob HD-MasterAudio oder DTS komprimiert), echtes 4K (Sorry, aber muss bei Spielberg) haette ich noch mehr springen lassen, aber das ist leider nicht konsequent sondern umgefallen, wo man umfallen kann.
Abseits jeglicher Tech-Rezension ist “Ready Player One” ein kurzweilig unterhaltender, toller Film fuer Junge Leute U25.
Ansonsten: Scheppert gut. Tontechnisch einwandfrei (Gutes Homecinema vorausgesetzt) und Bild ist gut (BluRay ausreichend und getestet). Die Apple Version ist ensprechend in Bild und Ton komprimiert und kann in beider Hinsicht (ob der digitalen Artefakte und dem leiseren LPCM-Ton) nicht mit der physischen BluRay mithalten.

The severe lack of political correctness and other neoliberal propaganda.
It was just pure entertainment without trying to manipulate you into an agenda.

Aside from that it perfectly captured the video/computer game and pop culture. And that with an old director as Steven Spielberg. That also impressed me a lot.
The thing is, the references and homages arent cheesy or unfunny, like from someone who never understood this culture, but they actually make sense and make you laugh, they also reflect the gaming culture right now with all its ups and downs. At some point, when a bridge collapsed, I was so immersed that I thought to myself "just build a bridge like in Fortnite!". But of course, Fortnite wasnt that well known when this movie was made. :)

Someone who is a gamer and pop culture fan himself wrote this script. And he didnt care about irrelevant PC! Because he knew that people play games and watch movies because they want to escape the dishonest and manipulative reality we have.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ready Player One
Un chef-d'oeuvre et encore bien plus ! Un véritable hommage à la pop culture de tout âge, doublé d'un message faisant intervenir des éléments du passé pour nous raconter un futur ! Tout cela fondu dans un film d'auteur particulier au doux rêve qu'aucun ne peut l'égaler #ChristopherNolan #JamesCameron #StevenSpielberg. Il se dit que Christopher Nolan est un génie. [spoiler] Je ne sais pas si ce n'est pas le méchant du film... [/spoiler] Nous nous retrouvons avec des Easter Eggs de tous les plus grands films et les plus grandes séries que cela soit visuel et auditif! Si nous restons jusqu'à la fin du générique, nous avons tous les accords de licences autorisées et c'est la 1re fois que j'en voyais autant !
La course est impressionnante[spoiler] , car elle révèle tellement de jeux vidéo et film [/spoiler] que le film "solo" (StarWars) va passer pour une vulgaire scène sans intérêt.
La 3D est l'une des plus impressionnantes que j'ai vue! C'est la 1re fois que le Dolby Atmos est utilisé de cette manière ! Ma scène préférée est le Climax[spoiler] avec le soulèvement à l'échelle mondiale sur la planète "Doom" (le premier Jeu de tir populaire "FirstPersonShooter #Fps). [/spoiler] [spoiler] Ce soulèvement à l'échelle mondiale fait penser à Harry Potter ! Avec des angles de vus identique.. Mais la partie excellente est la révélation du héros dans la connaissance de son Dieu qui est le créateur de l'oasis qui s'est transféré dans le jeu pour ne plus subir les règles physiques du monde qu'on connaît actuellement! Une révélation qui fait penser aux principes de la transcendance ! [/spoiler] Ready Player One est un film à revoir absolument pour tout ce qu'il propose à tout âge et toute connaissance #PopCulture.
Du très grand art comme "Matrix" à son époque ! Ce film est extrêmement impressionnant ! Il faut que je le revoie, car il me manque "ET" (l'extra-terrestre) je ne l'ai pas vu. C'est impossible de la part de Spielberg.
Continuer à manger des bonbons chers spectateurs, car j'ai beaucoup apprécié !… Expand

Ready Player One o la película de las mil referencias de la cultura pop y geek de los 70s hasta hoy en día. Lo primero que quiero recalcar que me ha parecido un poco grotesco es cuanto se apoya la película en personajes emblemáticos e icónosReady Player One o la película de las mil referencias de la cultura pop y geek de los 70s hasta hoy en día. Lo primero que quiero recalcar que me ha parecido un poco grotesco es cuanto se apoya la película en personajes emblemáticos e icónos de la cultura geek que todo el mundo conoce: juega muy sobre seguro. Es una buena película, con un increíble apartado técnico en el mundo virtual pero que deja un poco que desear en el mundo real. Es divertida, entretenida, frenética, y funciona muy bien como película palomitera.

Peeero, siento que ha sido muy desaprovechada. Spielberg tenía miles de millones de cartas a su favor para convertir Ready Player One en un hito en la historia del cine de ciencia ficción como lo fué en su día Blade Runner y todo lo que este nombre engloba. Hay veces que la cinta tira mucho por el camino de no tomar las cosas en serio y reducir toda su trama a un simple juego. Oasis no debería haber sido definido como un MMO que simplemente ha arrasado en todo el mundo y es el pasatiempo y vicio preferido de toda la población y el interés de toda la industria del sector. En su lugar, yo la hubiera definido como un sitio en el que relajarse del estrés del mundo real: un lugar donde las personas pudieran ser quienes quisieran en el sentido más utópico posible y no simples avatares de 'Tracer', 'Chun Li' o 'Spartans' de la saga Halo para conseguir un par de monedas y ser más poderosos dentro del videojuego. He re remarcar que no he leído el o los libros originales en los que se basó el director a la hora de hacer esta película, pero estoy seguro de que difieren bastante de lo que nos ha sido mostrado en la gran pantalla. En fin, es una buena película con altas dosis de acción y adrenalina con unos personajes pasables que se deja ver y disfrutar, pero creo que podría haber sido un completo punto de inflexión y realizada como una Blade Runner de los tiempos modernos. Recomendada.… Expand

The fourth reason is the CGI, it was fine as a movie in 2018, but as a story-line in 2045, it wasn't that good.
But it wasn't mistake-less, it has some drops too!
The biggest one is that the voices weren't fitting on the Players in the VR mode.

If there is any director who can make a successful and really the first great video game adaptation, he will be, of course, Steven Spielberg. The most thing I was worried about in Ready Player One is if it will be a mere thrill ride filledIf there is any director who can make a successful and really the first great video game adaptation, he will be, of course, Steven Spielberg. The most thing I was worried about in Ready Player One is if it will be a mere thrill ride filled with many pop-culture references rather than it will be a movie with a good story. It turned out that I was right, but only about the first part. This movie is an epic adventure that will mesmerize all nerds and geeks, but it will also satisfy the real cinephiles who seek a movie with a smart and original story. In fact, this movie's story is really powerful and thought-provoking. I found myself engaged with the story and the characters, and also busy as much as the characters as if I was putting the pieces of the puzzle with them. The performances are good, but the movie didn't rely and focus on the dramatic aspect as much as on the adventure aspect. For me this isn't a problem at all, because the movie should be experience it as an epic adventure, like Avengers: Infinity War, not as your typical movie experience. That being said, Ben Mendelsohn as the villain, Nolan Sorrento, gave an awesome performance, and the character itself is very compelling, and it could be the best depiction of a clumsy villain I see in years. Unfortunately, The beta villain, F'Nale Zandor, is a pale character, and Hannah John-Kamen made this character even worse with an over-the-top performance. I felt that she was trying so hard to be like Gazelle in Kingsman The Secret Service, but she is far from Sofia Boutella wonderful performance. I think using the narration to set up the story fast wasn't a good decision, but looking at the full half of the glass, that made the fun begins early, so this kinda a half issue. The movie looks great, and the visual effects are breathtaking. Most of the movie is animated, and the animation is very beautiful and looks like the animation that has been used in video games rather than in animated movies. And that fits perfectly with the theme of the movie. Ready Player One definitely should be nominated for the Oscar for best Visual Effects, for best Sound mixing, for best Sound Editing, and I hope it will be nominated for best Animated Movie!

Ready Player One is my second favorite movie of 2018, but it's hands down the most enjoyable movie I've seen this year, and one of the most enjoyable movies I've watched in my life. I still can't believe how this Overlook Hotel sequence has been shot..... no...no... sorry, I forgot it's a SPIELBERG film!

When the real world is living problems with food, and without people trying to make the world better and just ignoring everything, someone creates the Oasis, a virtual reality that have a whole giant world with a lot of references of popWhen the real world is living problems with food, and without people trying to make the world better and just ignoring everything, someone creates the Oasis, a virtual reality that have a whole giant world with a lot of references of pop culture during the history. The creator of the game make a easter egg, that the one who solve it will get not just a lot of money, but also the owning of the game, being able to turn it off any time he want. The movie stands as the battle for those who wants to solve for self improvmente and the others who wants for the world to keep health and better.
The movie stands as trying to keep the oasis alive and for do that there is necessary to achieve 3 keys, and for getting those keys the characters will need to get to some challenges, and from those challenges we can see the creativity that they did put in this film. The fact that they were able to get so many different licenses from so many differents projects is so on point for this movie, the fact that we see so many characters that we love or like, some object that in some moment had some impact on us make this movie very special, the nostalgia watching this movie is high level, it is a explosion of references almos all the time, and it is pretty cool, also from the context of the movie it doesn't feel forced at all, felt normal due to that world, not just that, but the creativity of the creators had a lot of them on appereance in so nice moments, some shots that were really cinematic and beautiful, the use of powers and skills, appereances and everything, very creative and that is just great. It got references from movies, books, musics, games, adaptations and even people. Hard level of references.
The acting was good, a very big percentage of the movie is in animation, so dubbing ty sheridan did a very good job, but as acting with the other aspects i don't he was that great, it wasn't bad, but i couldn't see that much of a shy a boy that passed thorugh a transformation during the movie. Olivia Cooke did a very good job as dubbing as well, but i believe that she was better in action while live action, i could feel her emotions a little better. Ben Mendelsohn acted nice, he was a sarcastic dude that wanted power and money, very cliche, but he did a similar job as he had in rogue one, but just not that good, he is a little more than just functional, he is ncie. The whole supporting cast did very well, they were all very nice.
One good thing that is on the movie is that controversial thing about gamers that you play online and when you finally meet them, there is some strangeness, cause they always are completely different from what you believe, in face shape, surely in age and sometimes even in genre, but with a little talk the friends get accustomed, this happend in real life and it is really nice the way that they put in the movie.
Cinematographically talking the movie is great, inside the Oasis the colors are dope and jump into you, it does give a life to the unverse, and in the real life it does have a gray color, wich is really nice. The camera participate with the action, also really nice.
The music get your mood all up there, there are a lot of references in it as well, there is a 8bit kind of feeling with some sounds as well, and it is 100% percent connected with the movie.
The movie tries to imput a whole generation way of thinking, that is inside of video games, we are kind of free to do any thing and be anyone in a way that in real life they aren't and can't be, what makes very understandable the whole thing about everybody preferring live inside the virtual reality. By the end it tries to implicate that the real life is more important and really bigger than the video games one, wich considering the world that we are and how people are today it is very important. The power of escapism, like how many time, money and effor do we use to get those things, just for a little moment to get rid of the real life problems, how the entertrain touch us, the movie say why do we love how much those things, but unfortunately it doesn't go in this way as much as i would like.
The story isn't great at all, the story is very cliche, it doesn't have that feeling of danger or seriousness like, what would really happen when they died in the movie or that it have a feeling that the oasis is just a fun place to play, wich is much more than just that, because they don't have more else do go or do, i think the movie could have explored that more.
The movie is definely very good, it does have a stunning visual, with content that for some people will be like walking around in their brains in what they think, wich is great, i believe that they could have gone a little more deep way, but is definely a very good one.… Expand

Every time we see the name of Steven Spielberg in the credits of a film, either as a director or producer, we must, obligatorily, consider it among the recommendations for the audience; and that is beacause Steven Spielberg has won, in hisEvery time we see the name of Steven Spielberg in the credits of a film, either as a director or producer, we must, obligatorily, consider it among the recommendations for the audience; and that is beacause Steven Spielberg has won, in his own right, a seat reserved in Hollywood only for Icons of cinema. In the case of Ready Player One, the new movie of the film magician, confirms our first statement.

Ready Player One is based on the book by the American Ernest Cline, which in turn was based on the famous video games of the 80s (a time well known for Spielberg) to set his book. In the near future (year 2045), Protagonist Wade Owen Watts / Parzival, (Tye Sheridan) lives in a chaotic, almost destroyed world, and whose only escape from those who still inhabit the earth, is a virtual world, a life parallel that each one carries where you can be what you have always dreamed. This world is called OASIS, and was created by James Halliday, a Geek of the video games of the 80s, and who, after dying, leaves behind him a challenge: find in OASIS, a series of secret keys that will allow to find the famous egg Easter, trophy with which the winner could claim the victory and total ownership of OASIS.

While it is true that the film, visually and narratively is the closest to the class spectacular film productions that Spielberg has us used to (close encounters of the third Kind, ET, Jurasick Park, etc), it is also true that the film , like the book, tends to be somehow predictable. Is the typical case of the weak hero who fights against a big corporation (David vs Goliath?) And that in the end ... Well ... obviously I will not tell you the end. What I will tell you is that it is the return of this great director to the World of magic and fantasy successfully (at the box office), since we remember that his last 3 films were more in the genre of historical bio-dramas as they were The Post, Bridge of spies and Lincoln, a genre that I'm passionate about, but which probably does not have the expectation of having a big box office as a science-fiction production.

Ready Player One exaggerates in the descriptions of the objects made by the protagonists, in some way is very faithful to the book, even in the narrative, in a textual way. This does not take away any merit, in fact it is a bet to return to have a resounding success at the box office, something that the famous director did not achieve in a forceful way since The War of the Worlds in 2005 and Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the skull of glass in 2008, the latter successful at the box office, but criticized by those of us who are followers of the famous archaeologist (The good giant friend, 2016, not full of expectations or box office, as well as The Adventures of Tintin Tin, 2011, left a bad taste in the pocket ... of the producers)
In Ready Player one Steven Spielberg is reunited with the genre that gave him fame in the seventh art, with magic, fantasy and adventure characters created to be enjoyed by the audience from the seat, is to see the magic and the quality of Jurasick Park, and ET (precisely its iconic productions of the 80s and 90s) with the technological innovation that is now available.

Finally, it must be said, those of us who grew up in the 80s, are going to like this movie, make constant winks to that decade (The Shine, Jack Nicholson) and its characters seem to be brought by Doc Brown's DeLorean and Marty Mcfly from the 80s until our 2018… Expand

Did it feel like the main characters fell in love to fast? I mean maybe but bear in mind wade is a teenager and a female showed mild interest in him, on top of that he knew of her before as he "saw all her walkthroughs and twitch streams" so he had a crush, due to circumstance they spend a lot of time together and nearly die.

Okay now that's out the way - It was just a FUN movie, I found the idea appealing of a fully realised VR world that everyone is on and a big company tries to fill it with microtranstions and the gamers coming together to stop it a cool idea, I loved the real world stuff going on of the real world being **** and the idea of a "resistance" and companies going as far as to essentially enslave people to play a game in the loyalty centers and the idea of a creator hiding a meaning of life so to speak into the game before he died, also intriguing as to if he was "alive" in the game as he was far to smart to be a A.I. I could go on but frankly I would just suggest giving it a watch yourself, as I personally, loved it.… Expand

Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg’sA cool premise can only take a film so far. At first glance, Ready Player One has all the potential to be a franchise-starting movie with its large-scale world building and plethora of pop culture references. Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg’s newest work falls a bit flat due to a multitude of shortcomings in key aspects of the film. The most glaring issues are in a script, which feels like common fanfiction centered around a forgettable protagonist. Meanwhile, the direction, production design & editing of Ready Player One are all satisfactorily executed but with enough inattention that the experience sometimes feels like an afterthought.

The famous Spielberg touch does show up at the tail end of Ready Player One but, at that point, it feels almost jarring. This inconsistent vision is a huge detriment to a movie based around such a stylish premise. Ultimately, there are enough cool moments and adequate techniques that should have most viewers calling Ready Player One passable. However, its unfocused and generic vibe will leave many audience members feeling sneaking disappointment.

The many nostalgic nods and references littered throughout the film also speaks to those of my generation who have finally seen the genuine consumer-level birth of the VR era, which is something we've been waiting for a long time. I think the only people who would not like this movie are "professional" critics who think too highly of themselves, some non-gamers who are overly jaded or something, and self-absorbed trolls just hating on it for the sake of it. I've watched Ready Player One four times now and the more I watch it the more I realise it's going to be one of those movies I look back on in 20 years time with a lot of love. It is without doubt a cult classic in the making, especially for all the VR geeks out there. Thumbs up!… Expand

At every moment the movie bombards you with references of electronic entertainment, videogames, animation and other typical elements from 90's to 2000's. captures all the feelings and experiences of communities, developers, events, players, besides showing cameos of characters that do not usually include in movies of this theme, jargon of gamers, easter eggs, pop culture, wow is impressive.

Personally, the fans and there is nothing more to add to the excellent CGI, very careful and colorful. Actually the argument remains as an impulse for everything really important. Beautiful.… Expand

I'll start with i have read the book,I personally think this was a brilliant movie, the acting was a 9/10 and the story 10/10. If you're not a gaming or anything 80's fan miss this movie as you'll probably give it a negative review.

The main problem i keep reading in reviews is, that wasn't put in and this wasn't put in the film. What people have to understand using characters in a book is totally different than in a movie, their things called licences which cost a ton of money and with this movie costing 175 million to make as it is, how much more needs to be spent to make everyone happy. Does everyone really think Blizzard let Spielberg use Tracer and D Va for free, plus all the other licences which were needed just to make this.
People seriously need to get a grip and review this movie as a movie and not as a book

So back to the review. The acting was hit and miss, some of the acting was great and some really didn't suit the character. visually it was epic and just sitting there trying to spot nostalgic characters, movies and games from the 80's and upwards made it even more enjoyable, I think i spent most of the movie saying "oh looks it's".

Overall - Yes the book is better, but when have we ever seen an identical port from book to film. However, this movie stands fantastic on its own whether it was based on a book or not… Expand

With a load of cameos ready to be seen and references ready to be heard and being a huge improvement over the 2011 novel, Ready Player One is guaranteed to bring anyone who are fans of at least one of the many cameos and references this film holds. What I like about this film is that its plot only relies on Easter eggs similar to how the novel relied on Easter eggs, but intends to go more modern than what you only see in the novel. Steven Spielberg might as well be known for directing well-loved classics, but he's also the same guy who also directed modern art like The BFG and this film. This movie is one long Easter egg from start to finish and I do recommend it even in the near future.… Expand

The story line blew me away and by far exceeded my expectations. As of this writing, I have yet to read the book. This contradicts my usual procedure of reading the book before seeing the movie, but since many people who have read the book didn’t like the film, I am glad I strayed from what I usually do. I loved how the plot line had unexpected twists and turns, an aspect of movies that, if nonexistent, I am completely unimpressed. Ready Player One was the exact opposite, keeping me on the edge of my seat for the duration of the whole movie. I also enjoyed the references the movie made to other films, such as The Iron Giant and Star Wars. I happily give Ready Player One five stars, and definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys a good film.… Expand

Overall a very predictable story with little meaningful character development. That being said, I bought a ticket more to see the Iron Giant butt heads with Mecha-Godzilla (come on, that was cool and you know it) than I did the points mentioned above, so overall I can’t be too harsh on this movie. My only big grief here is that seeing the Lancer being used by Artemis and the Spartan avatars during the final battle is probably the closest thing I’ll ever get to seeing a Gears of War or Halo movie on the big screen, and that makes me sad.… Expand

My head is still spinning - not just from the tremendous action scenes, but the whole experience. A job well done, Mr. Spielberg and team! One note - when I heard that the Iron Giant was going to be in it, I cringed because that is one of my all time favorite movies. I was concerned that it would look like the Iron Giant but not act like him. Very pleasantly surprised - he had the same innocence and selflessness as in the original film. Loved this movie!… Expand

Ready Player One is perhaps the first film of this year that I was flat out super excited to see. I've looked forward to a lot of films so far this year, but there was just something different about this one. And it's weird, because most ofReady Player One is perhaps the first film of this year that I was flat out super excited to see. I've looked forward to a lot of films so far this year, but there was just something different about this one. And it's weird, because most of my friends were not looking forward to this film at all. A good portion of them don't even plan on seeing it. That kind of caught me off guard, but I still went into the theater plenty excited to see it. It didn't disappoint. The story of Ready Player One is fairly simple. A man created this huge VR game that pretty much everyone in the world spends all of their time playing, but when he died he left a quest for everyone, and the first person to complete the quest gets full ownership of the game. It kind of has a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory vibe in the sense that a very wealthy man who created something incredible is just giving it away to someone he deems worthy, and it also kind of has the same vibe because of the wonder involved with the world that is the Oasis. I don't think that it's much of a stretch to say that most of us probably wish that the Oasis existed. The only limit is your imagination, and the realism of it is almost at a level that I can only dream that we'll see someday in gaming. I think that's part of the reason why I enjoyed this film so much. The Oasis storyline was very enthralling, and it was also fun seeing video game after video game after movie reference throughout. I also liked how there aren't really any dull moments. The movie moves forward at a very nice pace. I didn't even check my watch once, and I often check it once even in movies that I enjoy. I will say that the real life stuff was definitely the weakest part of the film, but I still wasn't particularly bored during the real life sequences. Another negative to the real life stuff was that there was definitely some cheese throughout it. Otherwise, though, I thought it was solid all around. I understand that it's really just a mashup of culture references in a video game setting, but I had an absolute blast watching it. I guess I was just the target audience for this one.… Expand
