"Ready Player One" is a film that makes a great tribute to pop culture, a film loaded with action and references, although it did not flow so much, it turned out to be a great staging.

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!

(9/10)

However I don't thing those huge VR will be acceptable for the majority of peoples. One thing that badder me is that we didn't see anything regarding motion sickness. And maybe in that sens the film might be perceived as a big publicity for the VR industry. But Speilberg did put some warnings in there. The FX are amazing and so is the sound. A good action flick. I give it a 80%. Expand

So bright reality, so strong plot which is unlikely for that kind of movies, no dull moments at all - full of action from the beginning till the end. 11 of 10! Now I will definitely read the novel.

p.s. If you are gamer I bet my last pair of pants you will love this movie

p.p.s. I see some negative reviews - this is from people who read the book. Seems its quite different from a movie, I cant blame them - I didn't like Warcraft and Ghost in the Shell for the same reason. But if you haven't read the book yet, believe me, you will like this.

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.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay so firstly i'm gonna say was the book better? Well they had a lot more time to flesh out characters and tell the story etc.

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.

You start getting disappointed after 5 minutes into it and its just downhill from there. To all the fans of the book, do not watch it unless you want to taste disappointment or unless you want to make sure how good the book is! It's not like Harry Potter or LOTR, that has some things missing from the films or slightly adjusted plot... this movie has none of the essence of the book. I'm sorry James Halliday, Spielberg was just a sixer that did not know how to play your game....

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to laugh thinking of whatever poor schlub had the job of adapting Cline's turgid fanfiction into a screenplay. This unknown hero faced at least 3 huge problems:

- Major story climaxes involve people doing unfilmably dull things like playing a 10-hour perfect game of Pac-Man, or reciting all of Monty Python's Holy Grail from memory

- Wade spends almost the whole story by himself, and the paper-thin secondary characters are entirely defined by their relationships to him

- The story is overflowing with references to real-world entertainment media, and there's no way a studio could afford to license all of them to put them in a movie

Our nameless martyr managed to wallpaper over all of these and make it work, more or less, though the result is a very loose adaptation indeed. Don't get me wrong, the result is still cheesy, puerile, full of plot holes, and boils down to a more cynically commercial remake of Tron, but it avoids the biggest pitfalls of Cline's mess of a story.

I give them a little credit for the ending, where Wade gains control of the game world and decides to shut it down for 2 days a week to force people to attend to their real lives. But it's pretty weak sauce after everything that comes before.

Also, it had some of the worst uncanny valley animation I've seen in a long time.

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.

I never read the book, but I was expecting to see something that celebrates nostalgia and geek culture, not something desperately trying to reference geek culture to look cool. Like the scene where Wade Watts, the protagonist, references slappers from Goldeneye 007, or when the villain I don't even remember the name of references Gurren Lagann, It just feels so forced. Something I did enjoy though, was the visuals in The Oasis. You can see the polygons on every character, which is a nice touch. Overall I did not love this movie, but I did manage to get some enjoyment out of the scenes in the game, which are unfortunately pretty rare thanks to how long the real life sections drag on for sometimes.

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

Spielberg should have ruminated at South Park 'member berries, before laying this narcissistic piece of ode to himself: "Look at the 80's. It was me. I made America great ....first!"

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

However, I feel that the backlash has gottenI get why there is backlash to this film, as it is a fun but rather shallow story that would rather dazzle you with some truly spectacular effects rather then tell a compelling story of escapism. However, I feel that the backlash has gotten to the point where the most common criticism is how much pandering it goes to fan culture and how much references it does have. Yes, there is a ton of references, however it is either left in the background or used to progress the plot. The movie never stops to just reference something like a really lazy joke in Family Guy. The only time it does come to a halt is the amazing homage to the Shining. While the visuals are indeed spectacular the way Spielberg recreated the famous movie and it is vital to the plot, there is a point where one of the characters explore the Overlook Hotel and the movie comes to a halt to show off how cool the visuals are.

Speaking of the visuals, they are indeed spectacular. While people complain at how unrealistic they are, people forget that it takes place in a video game, and while video games can only go so far in replicating the physical world. So while inside the Oasis it is not realistic like the real world it does fit with the narrative. And they are in fact impressive. The action sequences are fantastic, no small part to Spielberg's mastery of scene blocking and action set pieces and the worlds and environments are creative. It really does make you want to be in the Oasis. Which is definitely true when compared to the real world of the movie, which does in fact look fake and like a set. Which is honestly a shame.

The acting is good all around, with one exception. Olivia Cooke is fantastic as Art3mas, Ben Mendelson has a blast playing the villain, and more than makes up for his weak character, Lena Waithe does a great job as Aech (although it is clear that she is a girl instead of a guy), American Simon Pegg is weird but he does a decent job, and Mark Rylance does a great job as Halliday. The only real weak link is the lead, Tye Sheridan. He's not flat out terrible as he does a serviceable job, however he comes off as stiff and awkward when his character is meant to be awkward in a lovable way.

The biggest problem with the film is the script. Not just because the third act is bloated, but that it is rather shallow. For one, with the possible exception of Wade (keyword being possible), the characters do not grow and instead are stuck in their flat archetypes. Sorrento is a generic, cartoonish CEO bad guy, Art3mas is a stock female empowerment love interest, Aech is a bland side character, and there is no real point in having Sho or Daito in the movie despite them being in the book, nor Wade's aunt and her abusive boyfriend. Wade does grow, but he's just a bland hero (although that can largely be blamed by Sheridan's performance). The dialogue is also cringe-enducing, especially when the characters talk about how much Halliday is a God and how over serious they tend to talk. The message is also shallow. It is clear that Spielberg wants to talk about escapism and technological overload, however they often come off as shallow and basic, especially when intertwined by the "small guy overthrows a giant business" plot that has been done to death. The only real positive that can be said is that there is no dull moment with the script, making the 2 hours and 20 minutes fly by rather seamlessly.

I am conflicted with this movie. One on hand it is a fun ride with some great visuals and action scenes that is more like comfort food, but on the other it is an extremely shallow film that doesn't offer up anything new and feels more like a safe film for Spielberg (although he did not foam it in). It's hard not to want more with the movie, but at the same time what was there was fine enough that I can come back to it. But again, there could have been much more with the film.

EDIT: I bumped my rating down from a 7/10 to a 6/10

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

First things first -- it's kind of fun and there's thrills to be had and all that. It drags at times and is manic but hey aren't most expensive tentpoles nowadays.

This movie somehow was able to take highly advanced virtual reality combined with an insane amount of pop culture nostalgia reverence and manage to put those things in a dystopia!, revel in it a bit (like we all do), and then somehow refuse to make any kind of meta-commentary on what that means for contemporary society or modern film/art/etc. I mean, turn off the video games for 2 days a week and meet a girl? That's all we get?

I really hated the 2nd sequence. Not homage, not fun, not clever, just perversely misguided and completely ruining a masterpiece that deserves to be seen on its own terms for new generations. I can't believe Spielberg would do that to a friend...

It's so blatant it almost feels intentional. At least with the book you put it off as bad writing by an author clearly unaware of the implications of his premise but more than ready to treat it as pseudo-paradise unironically. I have no idea what Spielberg wanted to do with this. "Look on my works ye mighty and despair!" I guess?

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.

Unfortunately Spielberg has not done that, the story is diluted and weak, the characters paper thin with no depth. For all the special effects (which are great) and the cinematography (fantastic), it does not help hold the film to greatness. It's a shame since they spent alot of time and energy getting the rights for so many IPs into this film and if you had a remote and a copy of the film, you could pause it and check out every single easter egg and name every single character they have squeezed in, but that would mean watching this again, which is simply not happening.
Stick to the book. It's fantastic, and really captures what it means to gamers to be part of the game.

The movie could probably be liked by those who didn't read the book, just for effects maybe? I dunno… I literally had a "WTF??" blurb over my head from the very beginning to the very end of this kinda nice-looking, but still pretty much disaster of an adaptation of a fantastic, great, insightful book.

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!

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

I realize the content is difficult to adapt but they changed some of the major plot points for what seemed like no other reason than to appeal to as broad of an audience as possible. The trails felt slapped together and were far less interesting and nuanced than in the novel. I didn't understand all of the references when I read it and that actually made it more interesting and fun. The film panders to a broad audience.

The acting was mediocre and I felt that some performances were just poor. The dialogue didn't help much and some of the scenes were just cringe inducing. The ending was at least solid and more entertaining than first half of the movie so they didn't completely butcher it.

ReadyReady Player One is a giant MMO virtual reality game presented in a movie format. This movie's got the same spirit like ET, The Goonies and other classic kid fantasy movies, but despite Steven Spielberg's direction it's not great. Ready Player One is by far the worst Spielberg film I've ever watched.

Ready Player One's story, plot, dialogue and characters are absolute trash and cheesy AF. It's a chaotic mess of some random teenagers who save the virtual world, mixed with tons of even more random pop culture references that don't make any sense. Garbage films such as "2012" did a far better job in those departments. The final part of the movie can only be described as a big, lame and messy "raid", according to the established MMORPG terms.

Ready Player One's production values are astonishingly high, and the exploration of videogame concepts such as Easter Eggs, Exploits, Glitches, Power-Ups and Extra Life was a nice surprise for me. But ultimately Ready Player One is a bad CGI movie where the physical actors aren't even shown for 90% of the running time. Steven Spielberg may be Hollywood's greatest ever fairy tale cinematographer, but with this one he missed the target.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Actually better than expected - the story and graphics are what makes this movie compelling. While neither surprising nor deep, the story is sufficiently interesting to keep the viewer engaged; the CGI is really what sells it, the visuals are awe inspiring.

The only let down in the storyline was the bridge right in the middle of the movie: so, his aunt and several others die, and the hero is momentarily emotionally impacted and then shrugs it all off and moves on? Ugh. Other than that, there are several deus ex mahina moments in which the timing is just too coincidentally perfect to work or when a long lost side character reappears and insinuated that they have been present throughout all along. Nonetheless, enjoyable, and with some great performances.

The movie (full-length cutscene?) works best when it embraces its artifice and dives deep into an uncanny valley that has never looked and felt more canny. The actors are mostly bland, overly-pretty, flatly sincere agents of wish-fulfillment, except for an incredibly realized performance from Mark Rylance and a much-welcomed late appearance from Lena Waithe. The nostalgic score is dreadfully out-of-place, doing its best to recreate the schmaltzy John Williams retro glow of early Spielberg but instead contrasting badly with the post-apocalyptic trappings and the implied social commentary. And that's the ultimate problem with this visually stunning but half-baked movie: it is too caught up in its own manufactured nostalgia to have any concern for the present or the future. That inherent conflict between sentimentality and forward-progress is essential to the underlying story, but here it is rendered into a meandering mush more concerned with expensive "gee-whiz" effects and cheap "awwww"-inducing pop culture references.

Related media: I have not read the novel of the same name.


What's it like?: It's like Tron and Tron:Legacy, about a person entering the virtual world to complete a task while being pursued by the villains. There are numerous pop culture reference to the 80's and a numerous game characters from the 80's to the present.


Pros: 1) There are a numerous pop culture references to the 80's from gaming, music, films and fashion. Their inclusion is fun and funny, particularly that regarding The Shining.


2) Many of the game characters from the 80's to the present make an appearance in the film as game avatars. This was fun... until it became too much.


3) The film provides many insights into the world of gaming, past and future. It shares with the audience what makes gaming fun and meaningful.


Cons: 1) There is insufficient development in the background stories around the real world part of the film and on the characters in the film. No explanation was provided on how the dystopian world came to be and what the people in the real world do when they are not involved in VR gaming. Our hero does not seem to go to school, work, eat, drink, or go to the toilet at all, for the entire duration of the film!


2) Spielberg has some frustrating styles and views when it comes to true children films. He doesn't allow certain things in his film - he digitally removed firearms from ET, 25 years after it came out. In Ready Player One, some characters die in the novel and one is a lesbians, neither of which happened in the film. Many of his adult characters in his films are also one-dimensional and it is often a case of smart children versus the evil/misunderstanding/uncaring villains/parents/police. While this film is more for teenagers, these criticisms are still somewhat true.


3) The scenes where the teenagers first meet up in the real world were very poorly acted. I was very much enjoying the film until these parts.


How would the the different age groups rate it?


Children: Excellent
Teens: Excellent
Young adults: Excellent
Medium age adults: Good
Old adults: Average


Rating: 4/5 (no half scores). It's worthwhile to pay to watch it in the cinema.

Whereas the book was more 80s theme, the movie was filled with more modern day video game references. I felt walking out of the theater that this was a must see for fellow gamers such as myself. It was refreshing seeing another action adventure film from Stephen Spielberg. Lately he has been doing a lot of biopics, so it was nice to see the change of pace. They changed a lot of the challenges from the book but I thought this defiantly served the movie well from a pacing perspective. Overall I couldn’t find any major flaws with the film; it was just a good action adventure film to see on the big screen. I do think audiences that do not play video games, may find less value in the film. Due to the fact that they would not be able to appreciate all the hidden Easter eggs. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's pulpy. It's fun as heck. It's forgettable. It's got a lot of eye candy. It's about as good as it could have been given the source material, but it's also kind of a wasted opportunity. I'll probably never see it again, but in terms of spectacle, it didn't disappoint.

"Ready Player One" feels like the whole thing was market tested specifically to appeal to me, with Halliday (an excellent performance as always from Mark Rylance) rocking a Rush 2112 poster, the magic words from Excalibur, the Iron Giant, the DeLorean, etc... This film **** the modern obsession with pop culture, gaming, and escaping into fantasy worlds, and shows a bit of the result of where that attitude will eventually take humanity, but the happy ending feels unearned, because the screenwriters and filmmakers fail to make us really care about the characters, or, in lieu of that, provide a meta-narrative with thematic/mythological depth. It just flows like a series of events in a hero's journey, and Wade Watts' power crawl is constant and uninterrupted.

Technically, the film is a visual triumph. You do believe in the OASIS, though due to budget issues, many of the licensed properties seen in the book don't appear in the film (what's here is great, though). Easter Eggs abound within the film and surely eagle-eyed viewers will find much to like in terms of pointing out their favorite properties. The "Shining" detour for the second egg stands out as an obvious highlight. It's easy to imagine certain nerds turning giddy with excitement. If only the film paid as much attention to its script or character development, it might have been a cult classic. As it is, it's a mile wide and a foot deep.

The performances are fine, but the script is mostly forgettable. You know there's a problem when one of the best lines involves I-Rok quoting the Tootsie Roll pop commercial.

As much as I love Mr. Spielberg and think he nails all the set pieces (as he should), I kind of wish a younger filmmaker, or perhaps with more energy, had been given this property.

Compared to the book, the movie skips too much in too many areas:
The whole world, its economy and significance of what's happening lack depth, world building gets almost no screen time.
Similarly the characters don't get enough time to fully develop.
Whole plot points are replaced with much simpler and less logical sections and the tone of the movie is lighter.
What is great are the visuals, music and action sequences.
Overall: if you want visually stunning, fast paced entertainment without a deep plot I can recommend this. If you want interesting and fairly realistic sci-fi with lots of references to 80s gaming and pop culture, then read the book (highly recommended). But if you're looking for a good book adaptation, then this movie is a nice try, but too shallow - there's a high chance you'll end up disappointed.

I suspect the critic-haters were too much in their head to let it move them. The theme? Friends and real-world group effort are worth sacrificing for and even dying for. A wonderful theme for tweens, teens and 20-somethings. This theme plays against the backdrop of a world the grownups have stopped managing well or managing at all. Sound familiar? I think this is how the last few generations perceive life (maybe the Parkalnd , FL teens can get them more engaged in real world group effort to pass gun laws). If you liked the emotional quality of this, BFG (Big Friendly Giant), Spielberg in his British guise, will liekely appeal to you, another under-appreciated work of filmic-storytelling-art.

I did NOT find Spielberg obsessing over 80s images; or, trying to re-capture his own childhood as reviewers conjecture. The look and feel is spot-on for the story being told. This is professional-grade visual storytelling, pure and simple. I've now reviewed the changes between book and movie. Holy Cow, they made a lot and I think except for the final end scene have improved the film significantly.

Whenever you see a movie with high user ration and low critic rating, there is something afoul. It's either the fans being too optimistic or the critics are picking some idiotic flaws.

For this movie, it has to be the critics. This movie is... awesome. It does a incredible job at capturing the feeling and joy of classic and current character. Without spoiling anything past what the trailers have shown, you will see Iron Giant, Mobile Suit Gundam, and even Mecha Godzilla. I went to dinner with my friends after the movies and we actually had to google all the cameoes to see if we caught them all. Obviously, we only got like 60 compared to the 120+. Beyond the cameos, there is a great story lead with great acting. The CGI is superb; I'd argue it's better than movies like Avatar. There is a lesson in this movie that I feel like the younger audience should really accept; that is, you don't know the face behind the computer. With that said, there was one flaw, that neither I, nor my friends could ignore. One supporting character viewed herself as ugly. Yet, she is amazingly gorgeous, but supposedly, a birthmark made her ugly? It just fell flat! They should have just gotten someone ugly (subjective, i know) to drive whatever point they wanted to get across.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was, at best, just another Spielberg Film, but for the most part, it looked and felt as well executed as your run of the mill PS2 game. The story was very predictable, and the universe was contradictory in its inner workings. There were a few scenes that I enjoyed, don't get me wrong, but it felt like it had all been done before and better. For those looking for an entertaining pop culture exposure, you would be better off heading to twitch, and for those seeking the retro vibes, there has been a recent influx of easily consumable media pertaining to the 80's. The main character was boring, and his family felt like a cookie cutter "mean dad who moved in with mom who can't get rid of him, and don't fully understand child". Thankfully, this ends as they get killed in an explosion, and then, as all great plot points, never mentioned again. I also feel that the 'bad guys' were stupid, and overall the characters were not relatable, or understandable, with stupid decisions being made on both sides ad nauseam. Watch it if you want, but I certainly felt that It was a 2+ hour time period poorly spent. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 9
Acting: 8
Plot: 8

Based on Ernest Cline’s 2011 novel of the same name, this movie is full of references to popular culture from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and even the 2010s. There are also many references to films, video games, anime and comic books as well from these eras. This is the non-superhero movie I look forward in 2018.

Set in the dystopian future of the year 2045, a VR (virtual reality) game called the “OASIS” created by the late creator, James Halliday (Rylance), left behind a fortune and his company that developed OASIS when he died. In order for those who want to claim it, they have to solve the clues that will lead to the Easter Egg. Whoever finds the Easter Egg after solving all the clues, that person will gain control of OASIS and his company.

As the year goes on, no one has been able to solve the first clue. Wade Watts (Sheridan) under his avatar name, Parcival, successfully solved the first clue and received one of the three keys which will unlock the door to the Easter Egg and the next clue to the second key. Parcival is then joined by his friends, Aech, Daito, Shoto and Art3mis (Cook) in a quest together to solve the clues and acquired the remaining two keys to the Easter Egg.

Parcival’s victory of finding the first key is noticed by Nolan Sorrento (Mendelsohn), who is the CEO of a video game conglomerate, IOI. He also wants to find the Easter Egg to inherit OASIS and Halliday’s company and he will not let anyone stand in his way to achieve his goals.

As a fan of pop cultures, this movie is quite fun and purely entertaining. This movie is so full of references such as DC Comics and Street Fighter and I cannot even identify all of these references. This is probably why I enjoy it so much and I may need to watch the second time to catch all these references.

Steven Spielberg has done the great job in making this movie enjoyable for movie geeks, gamers and general audiences like me. Credits also goes to Ernest Cline, who contribute the screenplay with Zack Penn for this movie and without Cline, this movie would not have been entertaining and successful. I definitely recommend that you should watch this movie especially to those who are fans of pop cultures and not just movie geeks and gamers.

This sci-fi action adventure could have easily hinged too heavily on the premise of utilizing pop culture references in its narrative. But -- make no mistake -- it's the characters, world, and story that take precedence over the overbearing fan-service that never was. This is a rich, multi-layered, and surprisingly timely film about the wonders of cinema and gaming, and a celebration of the communal joy that can ensue in their consumption. The visuals are captivating. The performances are winsome. And the overall feel is just charming enough for me to overlook some of the narrative flaws. Fantastic work. Expand
