Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Eric C — 28 Jul 2018

Spielberg provides a film that marries 80s pop culture nostalgia with a VR gamer's delight.

Set in the dystopian future, the movie is half real world and half computer generated (sadly, not quite up to par for 2018 technology). The legendary director weaves a coming of age tale that has the underdog battle the corporate Big Boss.

The story itself does not waiver too much in terms of overall story arc, nor does it have much of a twist, but there is enough here to keep gamers and children of the 80s entertained, and manages to do it PG13.

I wouldn't call this a comeback, but it is a shift back to form from the visionary that made JAWS, ET, and Jurassic Park. Recommended in 4dx seats.
