Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Youmustdienow — 28 Mar 2018

This is the best of Spielberg wrapped up into one greatest hits album. I don’t often say this, but this movie was very epic. Had a strong cast full of memorable scenes & characters. The story was brilliantly told in a 3 act format that scaled deeper as things progressed.

At times it felt refreshing & original, but still familar so audiences can relate if they don’t follow pop culture down to its roots. Fans of games, movies, & TV will be delighted since no stone is left unturned here.

You got icons from all walks of genre ranging from anime, horror, sitcoms, monster movies, shooters, fighters, comedies, romance, & adventure. My only gripe is that Warner Bros continues to make all their modern day films in muted color paletes.

The movie almost feels like it is in black & white at times. Blader Runner & Mad Max sequels seem to be their only vibrant movies in decades.
