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

However, between these two peaks is a story with the most bland dialogue, one dimensional villains, and unlikeavle heroes I’ve seen in some time.

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.… Expand

The movie has to make money and so they changed some things to appeal to a broader and younger audience. It's worth it to see if you're in the mood to relax with a goofy nerdy flick, but if you're someone who wants it to be as amazing as the story you've built in your head from the book then don't bother.… Expand

I went in with closed eyes and watched the movie as if it were standalone and not based on one of my favorite books of all time.

The movie setting was believable; set in a 2044, the technological advances weren't over the top, and very reasonable. The dystopian living areas made sense for the state of the world. Two of the main characters, Parzival and Aech, were introduced in a good fashion. The main character (Wade in real life) was given a brief backstory that allowed us to understand his situation, and his relationship with his cyber friend that he know has Aech. Their backstory was relate-able to anyone whom has every had a friend that they only knew through the internet. The rest of the "high-five" in the movie were introduced very quickly without much mention of where they came from. I would have liked to see a little more development between Parzival and Art3mis before they actually came into contact with each other. The action was very good and the scenes were very well put together. The comedic aspects were great, even from the antagonists.

I found the 80's nostalgia to be more visual than referenced; I won't spoil the Where's Waldo spotting of fun characters.

Overall, the movie is very fun but seemed a little fast paced in regards to the main character development. If you are looking for a replica of the book, you will be mildly disappointed; there are tons of differences. If you go in, like me, expecting to use it as just a reference, you will be in for a great ride.… Expand

The social commentary about large corporations (presented through EA- I mean IOI) taking over/monetizing games was fantastic. Although some of the characters could have been more developed, along with the real world, neither of these aspects were bad, and therefore don't really change my view on the film.

Something I did enjoy though, was the visuals in The Oasis. You can see the polygons on every character, which is a nice touch.

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

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

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.

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.… Expand

This is the best virtual reality movie so far! Lawnmower Man, Matrix, Tron, Johny Mnemonic and many other movies - Ready Player One takes all the best qualities of them. 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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Endings can really ruin the whole thing.(edit:forgot to put, the action was pretty amazing and at times was at a next level of action. even borrowed my favorite post synder zoom effect. yet doing to many sweeping overhead shots of all the stuff on screen is too distant, holding still or besides the great race scene holding diologue for later would have been much appreciate) Same with expecting something to happen that will bring great joy and of course, it never happens. That led to this sharp score. He's Clark Kent, it's awsome to know the CEO(chief eperating officer) would choose superman as the ultimate character. I think I saw him smack a giant in a preview but maybe ben middleson should be known as the courier of cut content(ooh that sounds cleva. Yep my reason for excluding the r did show up around 3 times before her thumnail part and those blinks were great but only blinks. She doesn't look right, though not as unpleasant as her first ever showing and I know not to expect much for those short, probobly french word things but I expected at least a sentence or to get her wrong(by doing her right, most of her appeal is taking her base and then imagining a more personable altered version)longer. But that was quarters(they literally bleed money *holds for laughs* by the way that is called a asterisk) when I could already imagine him ripping open his suit and flying towards enemies with the ultimate accelerated punch. They didn't use superman, but you missed him in the background, thanks but don't care. I know mecha godzilla is the 11(this movie has the most references it kills the word so here's mine) but, well, maybe the excuse is they really wanted iron giant and gundam to actually destroy something. so thats that and the endings conclusion, rule 1 save any overt message for the last line, is something that even those with low "thinking" skills come up with. but videogames aren't real. Even though they are. Are you i8magining all those electrons on the screen, was it some, life long waking dream? It harkens back to the 80's when according to(I fixed it from "the" but ypu'd probobly read it right anyway) blood dragon, the message was to turn off the tv. It was rreasonable to expect maybe speilberg could think higher and say something more relevant, appropriate but I sadly had to confirm my assessment of his values, should he really be the one after scott to do halo, a older guy with no if little understanding of something "new." Someone who makes the opposite of games. Maybe he did change his message with the times, you can have fun with some distracting and harmful device, just make sure to take a break. Everything in moderation, something i definitely don't go by. But it's the only place you can get a decent meal, with fully body feedback, feeling the act of eating isn't far fetched. Maybe you could put in words, or straight sentences if discussing the actual physics of it doesn't make money, ooh this is sounding real mean. But maybe, is this the 3rd time? berg which i think means castle in german does the annoying thing that arguers do, they know they are right even if they can't say why....ooh that was good.… 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

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

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… Expand

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

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

That said, the VR world is fantastic and the action and sound design is captivating. The movie never feels boring and move quickly.

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.
Equipment: AV-Receiver Arcam; Lautsprecher: Dynaudio; TV: Panasonic… Expand

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

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.… Expand

Ready Player One

The feature demands attention through highly configured rich details on visual asthetics which is admirable, for despite of having such a large range on the material the makers keep it clean (like coins are used instead of blood when someone is eliminated) and pleasing to the audience. But unfortunately the idea isn't intriguing enough to invest in it, in the first place for it seems like a compilation of different borrowed concepts that may look amazing but feels a bit eerie. Steven Speilberg saves the feature through his brilliant execution skills and projecting the anticipated vision on screen. On performance level, there isn't much range provided to the characters in the plot to express thoroughly but still Taylor Sheridan and Olivia Cooke are convincing and is supported by a great cast like Mark Rylance and Simon Pegg. Ready Player One takes its time in its first act and settles in perfectly before the second act kicks in where everything goes predictable but some throwbacks on old classic features (the quest for the second key is quite amusing) holds you on the seat only to mesmerize you in its third act where the plot enfolds in each phase with some brilliant action sequences and good old drama.… 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

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

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!

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.… Expand

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

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.

they have ruined the book. i liked the book for the 80s 90s culture which is close to me. the movie is just modern garbage for 8 yo kids. ruined the whole atmosphere and rewritten the story to suit modern kids

Ready Player One is one of the best movies in 2018!
So many reasons to be... The first reason is it has a lot of Easter Eggs that I was amazed to see in one movie.
The second reason is that the story and the way to tell are new and cool. TheReady Player One is one of the best movies in 2018!

The second reason is that the story and the way to tell are new and cool.
The third reason is the cast, the cast was good in the VR mode, but it was not that good outside of it!
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!
I totally loved it... And quickly it has been one of my favorite movies!… Expand

Best Movie I have ever seen. It is one of those movies you can relate to if your a gamer. I fully recommend.
