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.

Valerian Downgrade. I can't believe Spielberg made it. It contains a proper and overflowing homage, dedication and love for popular culture, but the set-up holes that are clearly seen everywhere can't turn my head.

There are way too many refences to the past. It seems like every scene has 4 or 5 refrences of the 80's. The special effects are ok. This idea works better as a book rather than a movie.

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.

It has all the faults of a typical hollywood action movie: based on a tried and tired formula, no character depth, no character arcs, lots of "explosions n stuff", very bad camera work, lots of pop culture references, and oddly too low on imagination.

It is baffling how a story that is set in 2045 has all its pop references in the 80s: all the music you hear, the movies and actors and directors they hint on, even the games they refer to are atari games! It is obvious this movie is based on the imagination of an 80s boy, with 80s nostalgia.

That could be forgiven if the story telling was actually good. The movie starts with a LONG exposition narration, that TELLS you who everyone is, who the baddie is and who the good guys are, how the world functions, and all the boring stuff. After that (since the viewers are obviously bored) we switch to a long mindless action scene which is supposed to look cool but actually games in 2010 had better graphics than that. Basically the virtual world of the movie passes as if u r watching a very long cutscene in a videogame and you are not even playing. You are just being bored out of your mind.

The cardboard characters are so one-dimensional that the writer didn't even bother with giving them an arc. They just go around, do stuff, find the macguffins, defeat the boss, and that's it, game over.

After the movie finishes in the most anticlimatic way, you might only have one question, and that is how a person who made "schindler's list" makes sth as horrendous as this pickle 15 years later.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretentious is the word that first springs to mind when I remember this movie exists. Movie misses the mark on what the target audience is. So MANY pop-culture references from the last few decades-ish, but feels like a young-adult sort of movie. The references are excessive, manipulative, and in your face. Did not believe the plot at all with there being any probability of gamers not finding these secrets after several years because speed-runners exist. Let's be real here; people learn how to be the best at several video games without financial gain - the amount of time it would've taken for someone to figure these obstacles out would've been much much shorter, especially with the incentive of owning the VR world. I digress; message of the movie is heavy-handed, and honestly not believable either in the film's setting. "Hey go outside, sometimes good things happen; look at me," the protaganist says ruling the VR world with a new attractive girlfriend. It's pretty obvious as to why people like the VR world - they live in a slum. Overall, it was a very run-of-the-mill adventure film. With the pop-culture references to overcompensate for it, it also ended up feeling disingenuous. I know I will be in the minority here, but if you didn't like Avatar (2009), you will definitely not like this movie either.… Expand

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

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

ALso the characters like Halliday and Wade are just as interesting here as they are in the book, while people like Ogdenmorrow or the Twins fall a bit flat, but that doesn't really matter, it's still a great videogame movie with interesting and entertaining concepts!… Expand

I've been hard on Steven Spielberg recently as I'm not always sure why he directs certian movies, and my perspective still hasn't changed yet.

Tye Sheridan is more indie than a leading man in a massive blockbuster. Great actor, but the directors he's been working with don't know what to do with him. Olivia Cooke entire character conflict with her appearance because of a birthmark on her face was laughable. Like she's freaking gorgeous. It's shameful to see The Iron Giant being turned into a killer weapon despite going against the powerful message in his own movie.

It's bloated, but still pretty enjoyable.… Expand

It had a stupid story with dumb characters, but I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for huge franchise crossover event films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Wreck-It Ralph, and The LEGO Movie (the Batman one too)! Just seeing all these recognizable characters on screen all at once is great to have! I could rewatch this movie 5 times and still not catch them all! The animation was really well-done, but the live-action segments felt very dull in comparison. The comedy was hit or miss, but the action was thrilling! If you love pop culture, you’ll find at least some enjoyment in this movie. There is something for everyone here. As a whole, the movie is only okay, but I think that fact alone makes it one of the best book-to-movie adaptations ever made! The fact that director Steven Spielberg was able to make a decent movie out of a book where half of it was just the author listing things that he likes is AMAZING!! It’s worth a watch! Wreck-It Ralph and Scott Pilgrim vs The World are better, though.… 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.

Okay so there are no cops or anything, so why doesn't IOI just militarize and take control of everything? It makes NO sense. If there are cops or something, why not just go to them in the first place? IOI is offering millions of dollars like its nothing, has armies of people playing the game, yet they cant militarize in the real world and take control? Whats stopping IOI from forcibly taking the servers and making what they want? Better yet, take the platform and make their own! There are so many easy and clearer paths that could have been taken yet they choose to take the hardest path. The movie makes no sense in any aspect of any kind or real world logic. I get that its some post apocalyptic world where the video game means everything, but that means that the real world is just ignored and companies like IOI take over but not really but kinda but not kinda....

While the movie is about 10% the same as the book, the biggest flaws are things you'd see without knowing that. There are people running around on the sidewalk in VR gear not bumping into things or tripping!?
Large groups of people killed in the simulation are kicked out of the game in reality in the exact same pattern as they were killed like they were standing in VR in the exact same spot as IRL.
So much suspension of disbelief is needed and not because of the sci-fi, just poor film making decisions.

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. :)

D'un autre côté, quand on voit toutes ces pièces qui tombent lorsqu'on "tue" les joueurs virtuels (ils se transforment en jolies pièces d'or sonnantes et trébuchantes) ou lorsqu'on voit les "centres de fidélité" (sic !), on ne peut que voir une allusion très appuyée aux microtransactions et autres joyeusetés du jeu vidéo moderne !

Mais après tout, le monde virtuel (par le truchement de ces casques et combinaisons haptiques ridicules) est assez bien restitué, de même que les mentalités des joueurs et de leurs avatars, véritables camés aux MMO de merde et de leurs boutiques cosmétiques, bref la vraie fausse vie par procuration.

Ce qui cloche terriblement dans le film, c'est toute la partie "monde réel" et là, c'est encore plus invraisemblable, plus débile, plus aberrant que la plus conne des grosses daubes free to pay, Fortnite et ses kévins de CM2 inclus. On veut bien qu'une dystopie de cet acabit autorise des fantaisies mais des montagnes de conneries à ce point, ça devient gênant. En fait, ils ont dû intervertir les mondes, c'est pas possible...

Puis, vient (enfin) la fin de ce truc tout de même très longuet, même si on ne s'emmerde pas vraiment (on tique régulièrement, comme l'horloge d'un microprocesseur), la fin avec sa morale en solde et la phrase qui tue : "la réalité...c'est réel". Ainsi que le cliché sur les créateurs de jeux : de pauvres nerds encore plus asociaux que leurs joueurs, complètement névropathes et dépressifs...

Pour un gars qui s'appelle "Spielberg", tout cela manque donc singulièrement de clairvoyance ; le film n'est pas aussi raté ou catastrophique que les rares autres films sur le thème mais reste trop souvent à côté de ses pompes.… Expand

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.
And the way Samantha escaped from her cage, wasn't really convincing!

The setting beautiful only on trailers, in the movie - about him is told nothing, about events in the world prior to action of the movie - on a minimum, the characters who aren't memorable at all because they are registered on 2-3 lines of the scenario. Main the antagonist - the terminated idiot which it is unclear as became the head of corporation. The movie calculated on youthful and pre-adult audience suddenly is children's as if it is shot for 10-12 one-year-old children from Disney.… Expand

I was looking forward to this movie, but I could not watch it for more than about 15 minutes. The setup was extremely basic. Find 3 keys, pass 3 trials.

The setup was extremely basic. Find 3 keys, pass 3 trials. I expect movies to be more sophisticated than a game of Doom. The mindless overdone CGI in the "virtual" world was just overdone for the sake of overdoing it. King Kong roams about, but who cares? None of it meant a thing. It was all gratuitous nonsense. And this whole idea that VR enables some kind of a magical transportation to another world falls flat. I actually had VR in the mid 1990s (it was called VFX1 and VFX3D), and now I have PS4 VR. It's not magical transportation to anywhere. You have to make sure you don't step on the cord, that you don't step on your cat, that you don't trip over the sofa. And the "world" is just basically a TV screen pushed up against your face. It's fun but it's not exactly transporting. This kind of sci-fi fantasy would have been more interesting and convincing years ago before so many became familiar with VR; the simplistic setup to this story was not interesting and the reality of VR makes the story hard to accept.… Expand

He is an innocent, socially challenged man, yet he does not express anger at the world. He is kind, loving and simply wishes happiness upon everyone.

This is a Steven Spielberg film, though. As expected, the production is not only great, it is one of the best in recent years. Seriously, I encourage you to watch this film in as highest quality as you can get your hands on. It is a visual blast from start to finish. The video-game designed world takes center stage, but Spielberg still manages to find polish even in the real dystopian world through beautiful long tracking shots.

Unfortunately, this is where the praise stops. For a film so beautiful and filled with references, 'Ready Player One' is a plethora of underdeveloped cliche side-characters and an over-developed lead character, Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan). He is a hero among the virtual world, yet his anime we-are-gonna-make-it personality is seriously obnoxious. Sure, there is a teenager style edginess to it all, but overall he is filled with empty lines and superficiality.

In the end, this is a Spielberg film. So it's filled with absolute by-the-book visual panache and compulsively obsessive directorial polish. The script is occasionally broken, suffering mostly from an uneven and basic character and situational development, yet Spielberg fills it with a pleasant vibe not manifested necessarily through its heartwarming pop culture references, but by the times of which they remind us. Now if only there would have been more focus on them.… Expand

While failing to live up to the standards of a classic Spielberg blockbuster with its characters and writing, Ready Player One is at least entertaining enough to warrant a watch.

All the movie is is CGI and random, clashing pop culture references from so many different eras and genres that it's just a phantasmagoric cacophony.

A largely enjoyed film which will go down as a Spielberg classic! This was something new and refreshing, and became something I thought was childish, to something that made me think about the future. Maybe this could happen someday, eh? 7/10.

Seriously, they basically read us a user guide to the movie! And, of course, the much heralded soundtrack which is basically a greatest hits of the 80s playlist. Again, seriously, how much did THAT cost in licensing fees?! And 15-mins in I'm getting the first bit of too-muchery, during the wreck-every-sec opening race where Parzival, aka Z, is tailing Artemis and is just so fortunate to be able to pick up all the players' coins who crash near him, while he miraculously escapes the mayhem around him, yeh, ok, it's like this then. The animated characters are derivatives of those in "Avatar", so I guess they licensed that tech, too. Keep in mind that anyone can be anything, species, gender, etc but our principals have chosen avatars that resemble them IRL, way to spoon feed us Spielberg. And it's kind of incongruent that Wade IRL is nerdy meek and a pushover but his alter ego, Parzival, is bold and assertive, so that doesn't track. And the Curator, a C3PO derivative, seeing a pattern here? Skipping to the end, it's filled with Spielberg's "Amazing Stories" material and the most blatant is when Parzival asks Halliday what he is and Halliday responds deflectively. While enigmatic to young 'uns, it's once again infuriatingly derivative and a wasted trope to any grownup. And finally, the final scene is a direct contradiction of that just described scene betw Z and Halliday. Oh, unexpected treat, TJ Miller (formerly of "Silicon Valley") as an awkwardly comedic I-Roc. Tieing this up, the VR CGI was decent enough but it didn't always track with reality and the overall plot was so very derivative that watching this qualifies as a rewatch of like five other films.… Expand

Trying to forget the horrific jumps from the source material, and grade the movie as is, it doesn't flow very well. And the story barely makes sense. My hopes for this movie were pretty low after seeing the trailer, but after being forced to watch it after my wife got it at redbox, I'm just heartbroken. This was a destruction of a fantastic book.… Expand

Basically none of the things we were all told it was going to be. Instead, Ready Player One is a gaudy CGI-fest with nonexistent characters. The perfect example of what is wrong with so much of modern cinema. It's not devoid of joy though. Spielberg still manages to put on a decent show no matter how overblown.


The movie is filled with Easter eggs. Good luck seeing any of them though. Even the most eagle-eyed of viewers will have a hard time picking out all of the references and cameos amongst the constant movement and visual clutter. I can only think of about three properties that were handled with any sort of love anyways (Chucky, The Shining, and Back to the Future in case you were wondering). The rest of the inclusions feel shallow and devoid of affection.


There's so much happening onscreen that it often devolves into visual noise. The movie is at it's best when it slows down and focuses on the story. I really dug the core premise of players trying to complete secret challenges to win a once and a lifetime prize. There are some really cool sequences that result from this. The battle against the evil corporation is nowhere near as interesting though thanks to some truly terrible characterization. We spend so much time looking at CGI avatars that I often found myself forgetting there were real people just on the other side. Even when we do get to look at some human faces the material they are given is so weak that the actors aren't able to have any kind of impact or presence. They have the makings of backstories, but these only ever come up once and very briefly at that. So things like the main character's loss of parents and occasional abuse from whatever loser his aunt is dating at the time do nothing to make us sympathize with and root for him. It's too shallow and cliché anyways. The rest of the cast fares much worse.


Whatever message the story is trying to get across ends up lost in translation. If this is really supposed to be about valuing real life then shouldn't more of the movie taken place there rather than almost entirely inside the game? I liked how Spielberg used the game's creator to sort of parallel himself and express how all creators will have a piece of themselves living on inside of their creations, but admittedly not much is happening there either. Ready Player One is much better as a critique of the current state of the video game industry with it's subtle jabs at things like microtransactions and IAPs.


I know it must sound like I hate this given all of the negative stuff I've had to say up to this point, but let me assure you that I don't. There are most certainly elements that I enjoyed. Such as the Overlook Hotel sequence which is both genuinely thrilling and a wonderful homage to one of the most celebrated horror films of all time. It's also a technical marvel. T.J. Miller, who I usually can't stand outside of Silicon Valley, is quite amusing here. Although his character contributes nothing to the overall story. I loved seeing that Master of None's Lena Waithe got a role in the film. Hopefully this will serve as a launching point for her into bigger and better things.


Make no mistake, Ready Player One is highly flawed, lacking in the narrative chops that will allow viewers to engage with anything other than the gargantuan visuals, and I'm likely never going to watch it again. The Willy Wonka with a VR-gaming angle type plot keeps things entertaining even at it's most excessive, but the depth we normally get from Spielberg films just isn't there.… Expand
