Review of Ready Player One (2018) by X0V3Rkilx — 25 Apr 2018

The plot, at multiple points, trends towards the cliche rather than the nuanced. Overall a very predictable story with little meaningful character development. That being said, I bought a ticket more to see the Iron Giant butt heads with Mecha-Godzilla (come on, that was cool and you know it) than I did the points mentioned above, so overall I can’t be too harsh on this movie.

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.
