With real life and CGI action that explodes off the screen in a million different colours, Steven Spielberg’s big screen fantasy is packed with so many retro pop culture references that you’ll have to slap the pause button repeatedly in…

Good family entertainment. The 1st time I watched "Ready Player One" I thought it was catered to children. But after watching it in reruns, ... it has some good nuggets for reflection for adults - read between the script lines. …

An extremely disappointing movie. It sacrificed character development and world-building to focus on a plot that the movie didn't even handle very well. Would not recommend watching.
Do yourself a favor and read the book instead.
3/5
The movie is set in the future in the year 2045. The world is on the edge of chaos. The people of Earth have found closure and safety in the OASIS, a world of virtual reality created by the amazingly brilliant James Halliday. After…

Didn't know it was adapted from a novel. Should've known... Movies are rarely as good as the novel. Did Spielberg even read the book? Did someone read it to him? Maybe Tom Hanks skype/read to him at bedtime? Ridley Scott should direct…
A very fun and exciting film to watch, the opening sequence and the first major challenge that the characters face (a race) is quite probably the best part of the film, roughly the first hour. The music and sound effects are extraordinary,…

Visually, it's just stunning. Truly an "High Tech" movie, not only in content, but in execution. You have to see it to believe it, and even then, you may not believe what you see. The process from creative concepts-to-digital creation is…

Pure perfection. Sigh on current video games hobbled by technology & imagination.
Yes, it differed from the book by quest being more general for general public than obscure for the geeks.

The visual effects is rather unpleasant, especially the racing part, not pretty, not enjoyable, it is way too fast, too much light, it can cause headache. The plot isn’t great as well, as it is all over the place.

This is one of two movies I can think of which are better than their corresponding book (the other example is "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"), and it's for the same reason in both cases - one of the best filmmakers in…

This movie was a pleasant surprise - (**I have not read the book so don't know how it compares!) Even for a non-gamer like myself I found it quite entertaining. It is an interesting story centering around virtual reality in the future…

If you have NOT read the book this is a good film on it's own. If you have read the book you will most likely be disappointed. Many of the details that made me love the book are missing.
