Here are my thoughts on @readyplayerone : The Good: I can’t talk about this movie without mentioning the references! There’s something in there for everyone! Admittedly, I’d find myself trying to spot things. And I’d lose track of what was going on. The visuals in this film were mind blowing! The Oasis alone was incredible, but there are some moments in this film that were just spectacular. I won’t say what, but my jaw was in the floor! The action was thrilling! Whether it was a race featuring tons of famous cars, or a huge battle featuring some famous faces. I was on the edge of my seat! I genuinely loved the characters in this movie! In and out of the Oasis! I related to them, and I rooted for them! Also, their avatars were pretty awesome! This movie was CLASSIC Spielberg! His more recent films, minus BFG, have been more bio pics. But it’s nice to see he hasn’t lost his child-like spirit. The Bad: When it comes down to it, the real world scenes weren’t near as interesting as the Oasis scenes. They did a decent job making reality interesting, but they could’ve done better. I feel like the plot was a bit jarring at times. Sometimes the movie was rushing and others it kind of dragged. I would’ve liked a bit more consistency in pace. As much as I loved the references, admittedly they were distracting at times. But it will be fun to own the Blu-ray and try and find everything! Overall: This Movie is a massive love letter to Pop culture written by the man responsible for some of the best things in pop culture. It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s super thrilling! I wanna see it again. I have to see it again. Please! For the love of god! If you’re a gamer, a Comic Nerd, a cinephile, a bookworm, a geek, a Nerd, if you’re just a person......go see Ready Player One! Maybe I’m over hyping it.....oh well. #readyplayerone #stevenspielberg #ernestcline @wbpictures #tysheridan #oliviacooke #popculture #videogame #comicbooks #movies #review
