Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Spddrcr — 28 Mar 2018
If you haven't read the book you will LOVE this movie, on the other hand if you loved the book you will loathe this movie. I was a fan of the book when it first was released, being an 80's kid and all the book was a nostalgic love affair of the 80's and 90's. The movie not so much, it seemed shifted towards the 2000's millenial era with scraps of the 80's and 90's left over. Everything that made this such a great story in book form has been lost on the movie.
I will say it is a beautiful movie visually with the way it melds 3d animation and real film together into a seamless vision, and the sound design is really good as well. I kept hearing music from all these other great Spielberg movies being mixed among new stuff.
I just can't get over how hollywood keeps screwing up these great book when they make them into movies.
